SIK R33 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hi Everyone I am a new boy on the block still trying to find my way round this site.this is my first post so who knows what will come out. At 44 I decided that restoring a sad and sorry looking 1994 R33 couldnt be that hard!could it?Yeah right. It was my very first attempt at any thing like this and just to make it really interesting I did it at the same time as restoring a 1989 300zx. Would really appreciate if you the people who would know ,could give me any feedback on its credibility and appearance with both the young and the older ones .The whole project was done with the intension of it being different to any other R33 Id seen and with the 300zx as well.photos of rest of project will be posted when I find were to put them on the site. dont forget Be gentle it was my first attempt. Hope you like Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/77251-r33-boot-fit-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

tikki169 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 As eug said all good. Except I think the checker plates not to bad. Could have been good in the boot install to. Nice and clean and neat.

RESP33z Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 That is very nice. I love the dash, the dials, the tail lights, the deep dish, the boot setup also. Did you do these mods yourself? How much has it set you back so far if you dont mind my asking?

heartbrkr Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Nice to see someone put some love back into their car. Seem to recall reading here, that you need to keep the red reflectors in the tail light to keep it legal. So all clear might run you into trouble, tho there prolly some other things in there to keep cops busy =) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/77251-r33-boot-fit-out/#findComment-1421116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIK R33 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 very nice mate.- rear clears are siik - boot install is siik - gts badge is a good touch - not a fan of metal checkered floor plates. but good work! Thanks Eug Rear Clears are "Rare Clears" as well.Took forever to source and I`m in process of manufacturing some local as the cost to import was just over the top.Only downside is the light given is not a bright red and we will make with LED`s instead of globes. Boot install took some work to fit in while keeping the space saver spare wheel and work around the battery.Subs are 10inch and the amps are piggy backed so underneath the visual one its brother sits total of 3800w driving the subs and 4 hertz speakers and 4 hertz tweeters in the cabin.Watching a DVD in the car is more fun than the village cinema . GTS badge as you would know is impossible to source.A friend of ours produced it and I think it came up well.There is also a laser etched one in the cabin on the dash. Yeah I know were you are coming from re the mats.have since put the original skyline mats in . Thanks again for the comments.

SIK R33 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Love it, Thats some nice work their mate.....I would love to have a wallet that fat Cheers Sumo Sumo With working in the Train industry their are some old style real tradesmen that dont get chance to ply their skills as they would like.This project let them do that and the whole job was not expensive.We did have to get some outside skills on it but all in all the two cars done wer every reasonable compared to what I have heard it can cost. The main thing about both cars is the quality of the works done it is first class with all the work.we would do it again if it was not 110% correct.what i have found is that if the car looks good people will look for the one mistake and find it and forget the 99% of the car that is is perfect.so we made sure there was no one % to pick on. On saying that hey people are still having a go at it. If any of the guys on this forum see the car around in Melbourne feel free to introduce yourselves and have a look through it. cheers Sumo :alien: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/77251-r33-boot-fit-out/#findComment-1443590 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I thought there was a trader on SAU selling the rear clears about 6 months ago for a reasonable price. I didn't have a skyline then, so didn't pay that much attention. I would love some for my 4 door R34, but haven't seen them for sale recently anywhere. Are you going to develop R34 ones too?
