Sorry! but don't agree. What's so special about the STOCK STANDARD front, with big headlights & grille.

How is it better with this nose piece and better than PJR cars

Anybody catch the car, right at the rear of 2001 Kanagawa Kitagawa on page 6.

The iron mask h/lights & grille with stock bonnet and cut down 3 row grille.

ALSO! anybody else got thoughts as to Iron Mask or Stock front, which is more appealing/sporty etc

>what is up with that??? did you see this one? see what this blokes holding?????

Haha,no one's going to give him s**t about owning a 4 door!

Ghostrider,can't find the one you're talking about? Did you see this one? Early model grille and lights,later everything else! Looks ok I think!

I reckon the ironmask fronts are the best looking,but having said that,early fronts with the slat grille,and flares on 'em,like race replicars look fat!

That's the one, but think I get into photo shop and see what I can create as a look. I have pics of my stock PNV and IM. Interesting thought?????

When I first bought my HR30,I planned to slice the nose off the gaurds,and try and adapt an HR31 nose to it.....

Here's a thought,does the iron mask front look better cause it makes them look more like HR31's?   :)  

 :flamed:    flame suit on...

when i was looking for the headlights for mine i got to a point of seeing if i could rig up those parabolic gts-x lights you can get but found the iron masks instead. :kick:

how would those flares go with the RTA over here as they aid in the r32 gtr front brake spacer problems?

I think this looks mean and should be no problem with RTA.

As for R32 brakes, I have 16 x 7's on front and when I put the spacers in to clear the calliper, I'm going to widen the wheels IN, (make a new wider inner rim) an inch, giving me 8's all round and same front track.

Getting back to mean!!! I would like to stay a little STEALTH looking, don't want to attract to much police attention.

Little story for you to consider:

A friend, he is 64 and owns 3 Ford GT's, 1968 XR, 1970 XW phase 2 and 1971 XY phase 3 shaker.

He can drive either of the XR or XW through Sydney at any speed, he has driven the XR at 150 kph in a 60 zone and not a cop to be found, but when in the XY ph3 shaker, cops come out of holes in the ground, hang out of trees, sit up his arse, just hang off the car literally.

It's just the presence the car creates, very similar in our case if a mean streeter.

Just for interest sake, he recently turned down an offer of 1/2 million for the 3.

How many of these would you find having less than 20K genuine each?

I like that idea Ghostrider

Phat,

Just been quoted $160 freight to get those bits to you and as you might guess, I bloody nearly fell off the chair, so I have organised something with a transport company I work for and it might take about a week to get there but it won't cost $160 either.

Will pack it on the weekend and get it organised. Freight might be as much as $NIL, but won't know until after sent.

Will let you know further when I know.

You want it delivered to the office or ????? PM me and let me know.

As for the look, I have a damaged iron mask grille, so playing with it won't be too costly and my main thoughts are the angle of slant on the inside edge on both lights, if same, no problem.

Will post results after photoshop work done.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
