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:

PM a chick called Angel .... she's had all the interior etc done on her car plus a few other bits n pieces she could probably help you out with a lot of the names n numbers & what it cost her.

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.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.

      1. The MX5 is small, light and fun to throw around at low speeds 2. Fuel economy is great 3. There's more than enough room for my day bag, and enough room in the boot for some shopping  4. I like looking at it My daily commute takes about 10 minutes of suburban streets, mostly 50kph, with about 6 roundabouts and minimal traffic Whilst the SS is a big comfy cruiser, that's all it is, and the fuel economy is about 3 times as much as the MX5's around town
