Finally brought a Skyline.

[Atreyu]

Hi all,

I have finally purchased a car I have wanted for a few years: R33 Skyline!!

Its an R33 GTS-t Type M Series 1. It has the type M body kit with the factory optioned GTR wing, I think they are GTR skirts?? I am not sure. The car has the following mods: Nismo sports suspension, Nismo fuel regulator, GTR fuel pump, Apexi pod filter, HKS SS B.O.V(not fitted), Turbo back Trust pwr evo II exhaust,

Greddy turbo timer. Japanese 17" rims, Tinted windows, Suspected heavy duty clutch. HKS start button.

I havent got the car yet but I have already purchased for it Nismo clear side indicators and a Nismo grill. The car needs the front bar repaired/resprayed as well but its not that big a deal as my girlfriends brother is a very good panel beater/spray painter, I think we are going to re-spray the front/back bumpers and the side skirts. The wheels have a few gutter scratchers so I will get them repaired. I am very pleased with it. I have some photos but the car is dirty so they arent to good. I just have to learn how to drive it good and how it reacts different circumstances, wet weather, etc. Can anyone tell me how to clean the headlights good to get rid of that murky look or do I need to buy new ones?

Hope you guys like.

Cheers.

Dazz.

use metal polish, or car paint cutting compound to remove some murkiness from the headlights..

other than that u cant do anything, they will always be a bit murky.

Skirts are Nismo 400R ones

Nice ride man, but give it a wash ASAP!

looks nice... did you import or buy locally??

[GTS_DUY]

no need to replace the front lights

i'm not completely sure what product it was but some guys on a SAU cruise in the ACT were using some meguiars stuff for the headlights. may have been the window washing stuff, worked wonders - made the light completely clear and new-looking again.

just had a look, i think it was the meguiars no smear glass cleaner. i use the stuff on the windows and works wonders, give it a try

Judging by the Commondore in the background, and the bloke in the orange cap sticking his head under the rear, my guess is a local purchase :thankyou:

[Atreyu]

Haha, yeah I purchased local, well sort of, Melbourne is about 3 1/2 hours from me! As soon as I get it I will be detailing it!! Thanks for that about the side skirts, I like them even better now, lol.

"I can see you need a new boot badge aswell :P"

I know, do you have one? Or know where I can get one?

Cheers.

[krzysiu]

Nice ride by the way...

use toothpaste, trust me works great and is bloody cheap. You should re-do it every few months but they come up crystal clear/

screw that... PM me and ill give u chris's address so you can "borrow" his badge... you dont need to cruise around without an ass-sticker

[nmcmahon83]

Just a query, where did you bring your car from (Just having a dig at the english in the topic line) hehe

[Atreyu]

Ha, opps, will fix it up now you have pointed that out. I think trying to find that Nissan badge might be hard as I have noticed a lot of Skylines missing it.

[95GTST]

Congrats on the buy Darren..

Off topic: You heading down to Casterton drags this weekend? There should be a few Skylines down there...

My car is ALWAYS garaged (Refer to Sig), never left out front

[Atreyu]

Thanks 95GTST, I was thinking of going to the Casterton drags but I am not sure yet, see how the weekend unfolds. I will definately be taking the car to the drags, we have an 1/8 mile in Warrnambool but I would rather go over the proper 1/4 to get a proper time.
