the "import wreckers" near me wanted $170 for the skyline grill

mind you it's run by vietnamese folk who when they see whitefella like me come in it's a bit like "oh harro! here come shtuupid white kid! ret's see how much we can freece him for! har har"

if you're thinking about going ahead with the project good luck and make me one too while youre at it,

if i was to change grills myself i would definately go this way aobut it, falinign that get the laurel style grill....

perhaps it would be feasible CC if you looked on the SAU classifieds?

Heh I'm down with the Vietnamese yo.

eg. ceffo hooked me up with $6 a brake disc machining etc :(

Still $170 can go **** itself. I think I'm getting the slat grill from Slain so I'll leave it at that for now. If I happen to stumble onto the skyline grill for cheap I might have a look at it again.

Good to know what it is now though :)

i think i know where you went...just got all my discs machined for $24...best find of the century me reckons

Someplace on some main road of cabramatta or something. It was mad the discs were so freakin smooth it was smoother than some girls butts I've lic... err touched.

There's also a good parts place around a couple of corners from that as well. Found 2 works 16x8 (doriftooo) rims there the guy wanted $200 with some crappy tyres on them. I though that was ok but I couldn't afford it at the time :)

woohoo... got an R33 GTSt grill today for free, will be doin some light fibreglassing to make it fit the ceffy :)

take out the middle slat, shape it back to an open grille, then fibreglass over it, gel coat and then paint... then put a black mesh behind it and mount the cefiro badge off the stock one off to the side. Booyeh

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
