Goodluck finding a rear Skyline garnish. Rare as all f**k. If you do find one, it's probably broken. I'm also assuming you're talking about the LED one? That lights up the word SKYLINE on your boot?

they're not that rare; i'd say i've seen at least five for sale in the last few months in various places. but whether there are any clips (or whatever fastens them to the car) that actually arent broken is probably uncommon.

The illuminating ones look shithouse

My 2c

finding rims in 4 stud is a b***h, stick with the 1's u have and save for a turbo r32, r33, r34, thats what i'm doing =D.

If you really want to have the 'skyline' garnish lit up have a look in the DIY section there are a few walkthroughs on how to make on yourself using S1 garnish, LED's and some paint.

Also WTF 6" tip, mine has a 3inch tip and thats pushing it for a NA.

As for mods possibly look for some coilovers, as nothing u do is going to do much for power, so you might as well try and make it quicker through the corners. I'll have to agree with reducing weight tho, first thing i would do is get rid of HICAS, should save about 30-40kg.

Good job getting rid of the tail lights tho they look crap.

*end rant*

Hi everyone...

Hi. Welcome to SAU.

I just recently purchased a 33 non-turbo..

Good work. Enjoy.

white mostly stock

Fair enough.

it came with the vertex sides and rear..

Mmmm.

eres a few pics of what it looked like when i purchased it

Ok.

i cant complain cuz i got it prety cheap and i had to keep the rents happy by buying a non-turbo before everyone pays me out lol

No worries. I won't.

I hated the look of it so i bought new stock tail lights, s1 stock rear bar, m-spec sides and a 6 inch cannon with 5 inch outlet..

Good decision except the over sized cannon. I imagine it will drone big time.

Insides immaculate cant complain

Sweet.

I just have a few problems and things i wana ask

Shoot.

firstly

what can i do to add more power to it... its just got a pod filter, air meter and strut brace..??

None of the above. Save your money and just learn how to drive it properly first. You can always sell it at a later date and get a turbo when your olds are happy that you have more experience and better skills.

what else do you guys personally think i should add to the exterior to add some more style in it??

Personal choice but have a look at TypeVu's R33. Best non-GTR R33 I've seen. Nice clean lines and tough look without going over-the-top.

i was thinking illuminous skyline garnish but i cant find any around.. would anyone have a clue where to fine them??

I wouldn't bother but Yahoo Japan might be your best bet.

would anyone suggest putting an m-spec front??

Most people here have already so I'll just let you decide.

any suggestions will be accepted

also if anyone interested in buying a vertex side and rear bodykit let me know.. the rear and sides have a few scratched

We have a 'For Sale' thread in SA plus a 'For Sale' board within the forum. Use both of these to sell goods. Clean the items first, take pictures & ask a fair price. Make sure you provide a contact number and list what state you're in on the main board.

and im also selling r33 Chrome tail lights.. which i will add a pic of.. there in mint condition

heres some pics of it after i took of the sides..(I still need to take the rear and tail lights off)...

LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY :cool:

A lot of people on SAU are (I'm guessing) a bit older than you and don't have to take the 'rents' views into consideration. People on SAU will tell you exactly what they think with little consideration as to what affect it may have on you... but you did ask for their opinions so I hope that you are not offended by ones that you don't like/agree with. I hope you haven't been shot down too harshly so far.

FWIW the best way to make your car go faster would be to improve your driving skills. This will make every car you drive from now on faster and will save you $, time and maybe one day your life. I would suggest starting with a defensive driving course. Recently we had an Introductory Performance Driving Course held at Mallala. The High Performance course will be held late November. These training days + attending track days will give you a chance to push your car in a safe environment where there is a margin for error. Nothing can replace experience and training.

Mr. Scandy, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.
