Bula from Fiji.

[Ravinesh]

Hi Guys, I have a 4 door 33. getting a full rebuild done. We dont have many skylines in Fiji so restoring mine. Some pics of the work in progress. Had quote a bit of rust in the boot well and front wiper area...replaced the bootwell and beaver panels. At the same time doing a manual conversion.

Bula!

We don't hear much from our neighbours on the east side.

Rebuild looks comprehensive, any other pics?

[Ravinesh]

Thanks.. that was the front end this is the rear. I will keep updating as I progress. Spares is an issue here so progressing slowly. any suggestions for the build will be appreciated.

Jack it up high like the MCM Outfap to handle the roads?

Speedhumps can be an interesting experience when you arent expecting them...

Looks like you have made a good start.  

If you want a tip it is bag and label everything.  Also take loads of photos as you dismantle stuff.

A good portion of the roads in Fiji are built from surplus speedhumps imported from Albania. At least that's what it feels like.

As much as it is heresy to say so on here (please god, don't let slap find this thread) I would choose an Evo or an STI over a Skyline (in Fiji and places like it) simply because they work well even with high ride height and "rally" style suspension. Hell, for half the roads within easy reach of my house I'd be better off with EVO/WRX style vehicle.

Progress so far. Bit slow but getting there.

WRX maybe, but definitely not STI or Evo. They don't have "rally style" suspension, they have "track day style" suspension haha. You're much better off with a CUV (Like Forester, XV, CRV) over there. Last time I was there, I did see an R33 and R34 cruising the highway (probably the only place you can drive them haha).

 

Ravinesh, firstly, nice name bro. Secondly, send me some nangona please.

No, I didn't mean stock. I meant if you put rally suspension on them. Perfectly possible on an STi. Perfectly stupid on a Skyline.

Oh sorry, I interpreted that wrong. Yeah definitely need 'rally' suspension over there, I remember some of our hire cars getting stuck on some driveways. Parents basically ask for CUV when they go. Fun times.

Maybe you should start a build thread?
