Hi all,
Well I caught the track / drags / hill climb bug! And no matter how hard I tried it wouldn’t go away.
So instead of wrecking my 33 GTR I decided to find a cheap alternative. Yes i know people have said im doing it wrong, track the GTR and use the GTST as the daily but my thinking is the gtst wont be as expensive to fix and maintain as the GTR.
I came across a midnight purple series2 R33 40th anniversary that had been defected.
Very neat, very straight and almost standard. Even the interior was very neat. What it was defected for was rubbish, almost too nice to destroy.
Here it is next to its bigger brother
I forgot to take a pic of the inside before i started to strip it.
Going to strip it back to metal and once i can work out what and where half the wires run to, rewire the rear of the car.
Pics of starting to strip
And now the mess in my shed!
I decided the 40th anniversary front bar was in way to good of nick to destroy! Hadnt been cut no cracks etc.
So ive removed it. Unsure of what bar to put back yet
Heres her currently with her face off
And thats where im up to after a week and a bit of owning it.
The short term plans are to finish stripping the interior, get rid of the sound deadener and try and work out what the wiring does running down the sides of the cars interior. Then remove most and re wire etc. Something tells me im going to hate doing it / getting it to work at all!
And winter can feel free to piss off!
