Mod advice needed!!

Recommended Posts

Guys...i need names an numbers for the following if possible. I just recently bought an R33 GTS-t Skyline a couple of months ago to replace my Satria Gti ( may she rest in piece )...and i've made the decision to turn my new car into a serious Autosalon competitor. :uh-huh:

So i would very greatly appreciate some help! I would like to know who you guys would recommend for the following ( i would do the jobs myself but i am not 100% confident yet in doing self-mods, and i want the skyline to be a masterpiece.)

* Someone to fully retrim the interior...ie. dash panels resprayed/painted, seats retrimmed ( front and back ) Doors painted and retrimmed.

* Someone who does custom made floormats, but preferably chequerplate or similar - not carpet mats.

* Someone who is good, but still reasonable in price to do a full body respray, inc engine bay

* Someone who does custom car audio displays. I just recently bought a sh*tload of audio gear but want something original, fresh and completely custom. My ideas, their work.

Names and numbers, if anyone has them from their own previous mods, would be very greatly appreciated. And also if you have an educated estimate of what the before mentioned mods might cost...that would also be very usefull!! :werd:

I stress though that i would like this car to be finished to perfection....so dont be shy!!

Thank you guys,

Regards Teghan! :angel:

and the good news gods gift is that you dont have to deal with places like RPW anymore. you are now welcome to deal with SST or Hyperdrive or anyone else who actually know about performance in turbo cars.

fantastic

did you try and compact your GTi into an even smaller hatch

poor bugga

Okay Trimcare in carlisle i think has done alot of showcars in the past and still do.

Might as well head down to lombardi brothers in welshpool for that respray, or maybe melville panel and paint

i agree with 33spec2 car audio assessment.

and i am sad that you havent mentioned a bodykit.

but if you are going to get one, i suggest forking out a phenominal amount of money for a kit that comes on a container straight from japan to you, but not one that comes on a container straight from japan to some dodgy hackshop who copy it and then try to mass produce it whilst forgetting that it need to actually fit a car and then the copy goes to you.

okay thats pretty much it. all sorted.

did you insure your proton for like $50,000, i hope thats the payout you got. GOOD LUCK on the journey,

Peace

Thanks so much for all the help you guys have given me....keep it coming! Where is SST or Hyperdrive located? Mirkz - i think i have seen you before. Exact same Liner as me, wine red, standard kit, different rims? Ive seen strich9 a few times near The Macca's in Warnbro....i have stood out a little i guess the past few weeks cause i had a minor bingle and have had to duct tape the left side of my front bumper together!!

Should be all good now but cause i pick her up this afternoon from having a new 400R bar put on. Taken months to get here! Apart from that he only mods done is a 3" ss straight through exhaust with high flow cat - and thats how i bought her.

Ive added 18" Advanti's, Apexi turbo timer, alarm, and some audio gear.

I am going for performance as well, they were going to be my next questions. Who to see for performance mods? I have a road idea of what i want, but know some of the bigger changes i want will require smaller mods to support them - and those are the ones i need the most help with!

I plan for a FMIC, Upgraded turbo ( looking at Garret) BOV, K&N Air filter, boost controller, short shifter, new ECu (possibly the POWER FC ) and so on. But i need someone who knows what else will have to be modded in order to support these changes.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
