this is my mates new car ,he just got it last friday thru imports 101

(finally after 4 months)

u cant get the real effect of the pearl paint but it is a pinky pearl with a tinge of purple on the top layer(mate calls it mauve)

it has a power fc ,

fmic, apex cams, fuel pump, ajustable suspension, shit load of gauges

18inch rims,

his old car was a holden astra so the transition to the r33 has been a good one

does anyone notice the missmatching bodykit colour look - it might just be my eyes but its the only thing i can focus on in those pictures

Hmm.. Looks ok to me.. Might be just the light reflecting off the bonnet that makes it look a little weird..

*Nice car dude.. :)

good eyes man ,your right the sides and front were damage

when it came off the boat ,so imports 101 organized

someone to paint it and they fudged it up

i told him to complain because they charged him $900

and there going to redo it .

the pics dont really show how bad it is but it really

brings the look of the car down

poor bloke has only had the car a week and has been riddled with problems

its got some huge tuning issues (boosting over 1.5 bar)

and imports101 dont know how to fix it

so they sent it to steve from the old sst (chriss mills)

and he said he couldnt tune without a hand controller

because he dosent know how to tune with a laptop

seems strange to me cause its a power fc , so i suggested hyperdrive and they said we can fix it no problem

indicators falling out of sockets

pipework popping off

power steering etc

everything can be fixed it just a matter of time

I think you will find he said is he needs a hand controller to tune it as he doesnt have the laptop software. I've seen him tune many with a laptop.

If he is having all these issues with things falling off etc - how on earth did it pass compliance... or even the pits?

your guess is as good as mine , when the car arrived it was driven of the boat not a problem ,

my mate seen and heard the car driving all was good ,

and then he tells me the head gasket was blown so imports

replaced and shaved the head ,then the car wouldnt start and ran like shit

thats when it all seemed to get real dodgy

allot of what was said to him from imports 101 didnt make

sense to me ,seems like there was a lot of stalling and bullshit going on

but i know for sure that that car would not of made it over the pits in the state it was in

are you sure?

are you sure?

the same thing happened when steve did my car he only used a controller no laptop ,

i went in with 330hp and came out with 269hp plus

1x stuffed apex solonoid

1x air con deemed useless

1x popping car with no mid range

not having a go at steve but i would have had a better tune

done if i had just driven it into a wall,shot the motor and taken it to kmart auto centre(this is my personel opinion of steves workmanship i cant vouch for the other cars he has blown up)

    • That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
    • Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?
    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
