Newb buys Skyline, seeks advice.

Hi All,

Been lurking here for a while researching my new car, which I bought this morning. A stock 95 R33, what a mighty car! For an off the shelf car, no mods, it's so quick & civilised. I drove my old VL turbo home from the mechanics this arvo & it felt slow & floaty...

I'm very glad I came across this forum, it's helped me a lot. Thanks.

Next step is to detail the car, it's a bit scruffy. I need some pointers to where I might buy some trim parts.

A good place to buy some trim parts would be on the forums. You usually get a better buy than purchasing from shops, however if you get at least a cat-back exhaust, youll be pleasently happy with the power before you go further...

Just depends what trim bits your looking for...

The bit I really want is the trim for the driver's side armrest, which seems to be worn on every car I've looked at, and maybe the front & rear bars.

I get the feeling the door trim will need to be new, the one on the car now isn't bad, just that it's the only part of the interior that's not new looking. This car's my new baby & I'm gonna be pedantic about how nice it looks for a while...

I have to get a quote from a panelbeater for the bars, the front one is scruffy with a couple of small cracks but the back bar has a 7 or 8 cm rip in it. I'll look for a stock rear bar at least, unless the panelbeater says it'll be an easy fix.
