Cheers mate. I've already seen this thread. Unfortunately there's some patched up gutter rash on those.

Yeah I know sorry! I was just curious after reading some write ups but nothing for an R33 & a 350Z.

Would a stock R33 with exhaustkeep up with a 350Z even after the R33 is at full boost or would the 350Z keep pulling away? What about off the line, would the 350Z have too much torque & launch better?

Anyone?

^^^ These will only work with series 1 clear garnishes. Series II were not clear plastic.

Of course going down the Consumer Affairs route is a last resort. But if you were unfairly treated by a business and the company wants nothing to do with you, then you are within your rights to call Consumer Affairs to resolve this. In this case, Tint Professor want nothing to do with him at this stage.

I'm looking for a set of 350Z wheels (18" 6 spoke) in excellent condition with good rubber for a friend. Drop me a PM if you have some for sale or know someone who wants to sell!

I'm pretty sure a government body to protect Australian consumers was not set up to do nothing and have no power to act upon complaints & fraud. We pay their wages so we may aswell support and put them to good use. A couple of problems I had with dodgy businesses got sorted out quick smart when I mentioned Consumer Affairs. Quite literally on the spot when I said it in front of potential customers! There are legal ramifications involved and potential fines. But more importantly, if you're a business owner the last thing you want is your company image to be smeared or tarnished, resulting in loss of business. In this case, the customer has every right to take the car back and have the problem fixed. If they say 'no', start taking names and their position and subsequently ask for the manager, and if he can't help me, his manager etc etc until it is resolved. Don't ever think it is ok to get f%#@ed over, even by something as trivial (to some) as this. Good luck

Drop the consumer affairs bomb on the 'boss'. I guarantee they'll fix it there on the spot.

When I was looking at R34's, I wanted a Bayside blue or a gloss black with a Z tune bonnet. So nice and not over the top rice!

A lot of mechanics don't care either as it's not their car. If you still feel you have a problem, they will always welcome you back and charge you for it.

Yes but you said you can't source the same lights you had in the one you posted in your original pic. I'd like to see what the new batch will look like with the 'new' lights to see if they have the same light distribution.

White is illegal as only white light is allowed to be emitted from the front of your car constantly. Reason being is people will get confused and think you are stuck in reverse. Anyhow, same applies for the front with red light. Are you going to post some examples of the ones you are working on? I need to see some before I go ahead.

I have heard you may have to reset your ecu by disconnecting the battery and turning the ignition IIRC? I don't think this is right but maybe someone can clarify this.

Reviving an old thread here! I have this slight squeeking problem. Could it be caused by a build up of brake dust? Also, how hard/easy is it to take off the calipers? I'm no mechanic!

^^^ You must have been really desperate to sell it at that price!

I have to agree, that is one nice looking R33!

You live in ROOTY HILL and your name is Bong? Classic! lmao

Has this has the 100k service done? (timing chain, water pump etc etc?)

So where are all these panels some people were going to make up and sell?

How did the front bar not get cracked, or is it cracked? It looks to be pushed back which would require further work. GL with the sale.

Good luck finding another front bar. Next time around try not to cut into it (if that is possible) as it is illegal and could void your insurance!

R33 series II if you can afford it. You won't regret getting one over the others.

Nice photos! What polish/wax did you use to get that nice gloss?

Honestly no one here can tell you without having a looking under the car. If the exhaust is nice and fat all the way back to your cat or turbo, then it's aftermarket (or a factory option?).
