try calling KYP at Welshpool. They may have some, cant be sure.

I called them two days ago and they said they'd call me back and never did. They're only around the corner from me so I'm just gonna drive up today and see what they have. Japwreck in cannington don't have any r33's right now either.

who did you talk to...?

Afternoon all.

Manne, As far as i am aware the inner guards are required. There are wiring harnesses either side that sit above them so it's a good idea to have them there as protection

Thanks buddy. I rung KYP again half an hour ago, the same guy said "Must be the new guy!, we fired him!" and then took my number and told me he would call me back... Why do I get the feeling I am being taken for a run. Don't they want my money?

Yeah they are ok, havent purchased anything from them since they dropped my laurel half cut off the fork lift 10 years ago. Best to go and see them. If they anything like here, the phone rings every 5 mins and they can't chase anything up

Going there would be best. If they aren't too busy, look for Ben and tell him I sent you. And yea, he's family

They have been improving, and have come a long way. Still much to do IMO, but yea, still hit and miss

Lol,they did eh? I'm gonna bring it up when I go over on the weekend

Ok, so I got the wheel guard from them, I did name drop you Colin don't know if it helped or not. They said for ~$800 they could get my skyline inspection ready, but that includes fixing the tacho and removing the tint.

I wonder how much it'd be if I did that myself (which I can do) and just let them do engine stuff.

oh, and they gave me two guards for her, an R33 (for the top) and an R34 for the front, which they INSISTED does fit the R33, all up both pieces cost $80.

"Fit" is a loosely used word here hahaha, it might fit, shrugs....bring it back and ask for your money if it doesn't.

$800? What else do you need done anyway other than the tacho and tint?

A box for my old filter (they were gonna throw the stock on) and mesh the front grill (I have the mesh already)

and my electric mirrors need fixing. The left one is fine, the right one only folds in. And when I tell the right one to fold out...the left one folds out...

Ugh electrical stuff PITA!

Filter wise, I'd use the stock ones as well. Inspectors can be assholes when they see after market stuff. Or build an enclosure. Filters always need to be enclosed. So I guess stock would be easiest.

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
