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.

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.

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.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
