Rezz

I've researched this as best I can, even looking up old NISMO news items that date back to 1997 on the old Poweraxel site... but no luck. Are you sure it isn't aftermarket?

I've got a quote fron Nissan JP for the front lower lip for R33 GT-R series 2, and *they* want A$720 for it... not including shipping. Any takers? Edit: I just got another quote for the R32 window seals etc, and apparently the quarter window seals are only available WITH GLASS. If you want both sides it'll cost about A$450 without shipping.

Thanks Richard When parts can be bought from Nissan locally for under $100 it kinda negates the reason for getting the parts from Nissan JP... unless you need multiple parts of course. But at $40 for those 'top of the door' rubber strip things I would be getting them from Nissan AU.

I can't get the parts to you in less than a week... it'll probably take 2 weeks. But if youre happy to pay those prices in order to get the parts quicker then thats fine. I'll still get prices for these parts anyway. Trouble is, I don't think the bumper is within the max dimentions for EMS. Any Japan members attempted sending a front bumper via EMS before? Mate if you could get part numbers off of FAST that would make my friends job so much easier... can you get them?

I used to think dickheads were confined to VN Commodores and the like... but who would've thought after reading x amount of threads on SAU in 2006 that the old VN Commonwhore hoon stereotype is now being thrust upon R33 owners because of a handful (ok maybe more than afew) P-plater assholes. Lets show the Police that we're wholly against this behaviour by forming an SAU 'lynch mob' and do whatever we can to prevent this shit?

Ok everybody, I will get quotes back this week, just hang in there for a few days. Predator/BlackR32: If I put together a 'Respray pack', what rubbers houl be included? Front and rear window seals and...? Let me know because I think this is a good idea not just for people who want to respray, but also for people who are sick of the faded and crappy rubbers.

Very few R32 GTS-t's were sold, most were 'Type M'. I've only seen one actual 'GTS-t' in Australia and 2 or 3 in Japan, ALL the rest (over 100) were Type M's. Such was the case that all turbo R33's are Type Ms... Anyway, the Type M gets Viscous LSD and 4-pot/2-pot calipers on bigger disks, and some interior things like climate control as was already mentioned. The 'aero bumper, side skirts and rear pods' were available across the range, and alot of Type M's had no body lit at all. So the body kit isn't a good way to see if you have a Type M. The bottom line is: You'd be crazy to get a regular GTS-t over a Type M unless the GTS-t had 000,000km's on it. The Type M's were most popular because of the brake package and LSD, which put it closer to the (then) R32 GT-R in some areas. The regular GTS-t is basically a GTS with a turbo bolted onto it... nothing more.

Ok no probs. Could you send an email to [email protected] with the order? Posting on here easily gets lost. Cheers

I'll get full prices (inc delivery to AU) for all the most commonly replaced rubber bits for all R-series Skylines, S12/13/14 Silvias etc soon and post them up on the TKO-K's Garage site. Theres a few things I have to sort out first, but if you desperately need the window seals, shoot us a PM with your order and I can sort it out for you.

As you can imagine theres no 'give' in the tires whatsoever, so the already stiff Tein HR's are now complimented by rock solid 19" boots... I wouldn't like to use this wheel/tire combo on anything but city streets. But my brother and I got these specifically for demo-car duties outside our shop, so they'll probably get changed for some proper 18" lightweight rims later on this year when we start to get into some track work.

Here are pics with the S13's suspension almost done. I say almost because it's still not sitting the way I want it... long story but I assure you it will be perfect at the end of next month. It looks better than when I bought it at least... IMO perfect offset... you've *got to* be able to read the tire size and brand from this angle... if you can't, then take it home to mamma :lol: Prolly the best shot. It will go into the paint shop on Monday, so these are the last pics of the S13 in it's white colorscheme. After that, theres probably a months worth of tidying up and detail work with alot of carbon fibre and other secret stuff...

Haha... no, but pretty close to? It's not my place to say on here, so drop us a PM.

:lol: I couldn't help but chuckle... silver gts-t's GT-R bumper seems to fit ok on his HCR!!

Yes it will. You'll need an adapter to fit the stock RB25 throttle body though.

Just go to your bank (ANZ whatever) and do an international bank transfer in Yen... simple. It'll cost around $30 to do. I've heard Works Auto accessories are in alot of trouble.

Steve: Kazama is just how it looks, but there are no 'elongated' syllables, so it's "Kah-zah-mah" with all syllables of equal length. English speakers generally elongate the middle syllable and say "Kah-zaaaaaaaah-ma" which sounds really miss-pronounced to Japanese people. In the same way alot of people say "Owe-SAAAAAA-kah" instead of the proper "Oor-sah-kah" (Osaka). But correct pronunciation of Japanese words and names isn't something that we as Aussies are expected to know, and actually mispronouncing Japanese words sounds really cute and funny to them... so fellas start speaking bad Japanese to the J-girls And remember: :lol:

Really??? Can't see the resemblance myself... just looks like an overdone locally produced kit to me

I love FC's but I would never, ever pay that much for one, unless it was an ex-RE Amemiya or Tamon Design demo car

Yep Richards right. It says in the English version of the site: "By inducing engine misfire under deacceleration,boost pressure is maintained ..." It's a proper subcomputer that connects to your standard ECU.

My point was, it was weird that this older caucasian guy (in his 50's) says to me that people say "Ohayo" when they meet someone for the first time ever. Thats what struck me as strange - he could've easily been mistaken, but at the same time, maybe it's what older people did back in the 60's or 70's as some kind of cool thing to do... maybe it *was* used alot in that situation. I can't say thats what people my age (30) do now. I was not referring to saying it at different times during the day like monk suggested. In my experience, I would lean towards what momo said in that regard, I had similar discussions.

No, he sometimes lurks around here
