Just wondering if it'd be worth buying it and fixing it up?

Those quarter panels don't look amazingly easy to take off...

Edited by SKITTLES

Id buy that as a car to strip personally...

unless you can do all the cutting and welding yourself it wont be worth it...

there was a thread on here about a build where an SAUer did exactly that and did progress photos along with it...

Green gtst...

I had a 1/4 far worse than that repaired on a 180SX a few years back...found some guy that was prepared to give it a crack when everyone else was telling me $4k-$5k to unpick the damaged one and replace...

A good Panel Beater will get that looking sweet, they can get excellent access from inside with the interior trim off, will require some filler no doubt but nothing wrong with that if its prepared properly.

Yeah I bought my skyline that looks exactly like that one with far worse damage (see pics),the underside of the panel overlooking the wheel was even drilled and pushed back.

Even though I havn't fixed it yet Ive got another rear quarter panel I picked up for $100 ready to be put on,Ive got the necessary areas stripped as well, (rear seat,boot lining,left rear tailight,rear bumper) to make the panel beater's job a little easier.

Anyways I'll be going around to get some quotes in the next couple of days regarding the job,will keep you posted :)

    • 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.
