Hi all, I've been looking around for a while and saving even longer, and I've finally taken the plunge and bought myself an R33 GTS-T Sedan. I'll probably be hanging around the general maintenance threads a bit because I'm a mechanical noob but willing to have a go and learn as much as I can. Here's a picture of my new baby: R33Sedanpics037.jpg

The picture was taken by the previous owner who I think might be a regular on these forums (PhillB).

Hope i get to know some of you soon.

Cheers,

Adam

nice buy..

i met philb last show and shine and i remember him telling me he just purchased a r33 manual sedan...nice mods with it? coilovers?

Thanks mate, Yeah Phil has definitely looked after the car really well. She has a few tasteful mods:

Apexi WS coilovers, Pod, 3 inch cat back 5 Zigen Exhaust. Apart from that she's pretty much stock which I like!

Just hope I can maintain her as well as Phill has.

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
