1996 R33 Series 2

SAFC-II (original ECU)

3-Inch Turbo back

Nismo 400R kit

Bilstein suspension

18"s with Federal 595's

Turbosmart gauges

Coil packs

I apologise for the horrible faded decals, the former owner... ugh... They are a pain to remove!

I recently bought this from Sydney, I wanted a car that could be used as a daily but needed work done, new to the turbo side of things and really keen to learn so I wanted something I could slowly fix and clean. Nothing more satisfying than finding a neglected car and saving it! Still new south wales plated, had like 8 months nsw rego!

1996 R33 Series 2

It's the right year and series but needs more doors! Looks Nice, shame about the front bar though...

and + 1 more for Welcomes. :thumbsup:

Nice and welcome ! an R33 was my first turbo. Couldn't swipe the smile off my face for weeks.

Yes, despite all the dramas, you were a very smiley fella. :D

Thank guys! Really is a shame about a lot of things on the car, one of those ones that just needs some TLC. Which means a chance to learn how to do a lot of cool things! I'm trying to clean it up to be a nice daily driver, hopefully finished build will have around 200rwkw's, student funds are horrible for saving however. Hope to see you guys out and about! :cheers:

Haha I do want more eventually, but I'm on fairly limited money being a full-time student working part-time retail. For now I'm cleaning the general car itself and restoring and replacing most of the original and damaged parts. More focusing on reliability and condition until I start earning a little more money :) Who knows though!

I'm a little hesitant to upload photos of my baby until ive cleaned it up a little more :\

I bought it in pretty crappy condition (nothing too major) and have been trying to restore it to its former glory.

He even had different sized spark plugs in there!! :wacko:

1998 R34 GT-T

3" Kakimoto (i believe thats how it is spelt!) Turboback exhaust

Nismo Twin Plate Clutch

19" Wheels (previous owner put them on, no clue what they are)

HKS SSQV BOV (so sexy)

Sound system transferred over from my previous car (bought a while ago still kicks hard!)

BC Suspension (can't remember the exact model but cost me $2100 and worth every damn cent!)

I know that feeling !! When you can only earn $400 a week when you have insurance/rego/phone bill/petrol/girlfriend it gets hard to put any money aside to do stuff to my baby! One day.. One day...

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
