Stoked with how it's turned out.
It's not the original colour but it looks close, 4 coats base green, 3 coats green/gold colour flip pearl, 15 coats clear! going back on saturday for a cut and polish.(and wheel change)
This little bits been polished
Hey mate, sorry about the delay but I've got the outlet and it will be going express post tomorrow morning.
Should keep you busy for a little longer, sounds like it's coming along well.
Cheers Dan
No luck yet mate, still searching ebay every couple of days waiting for something cheap to pop-up. Will probably end up modding 240z ones they seem to come up for sale a bit more often.
Cheers
Importmonster is very bad..........for your marriage
Wheels, coilovers, flares, spoilers, wheels, hot plates, random spares and did I mention wheels!
not good for the bank account either.
Hey all, very nice stuff makes me feel kind of inadequate
But gotta represent for the C210's, this is a mini version of mine. A long way from being finished (both of them) needs wheels and getting a proper respray.
Cheers Dan
Yeah, I'm not real keen on color coding them a mate suggested it (doesn't want my car to look better then his)
Whats the go with clear over polished alloy? something special or just 2 pac? have heard it turns yellow after a 12 months or so.
I've got heaps of black enamel but all the new cheap mags are black and chrome which looks shit.
Leaning towards a light gunmetal, want to get it right first time because there gonna be a pain to mask up.
So I've got this set of wheels that I'm "borrowing" from a mate. They where painted silver but have since been stripped and had the faces polished, but I can't decide what to do with the rest of the wheel.....(centers and between spokes)
Options:
1: Bead blast and leave raw alloy/silver color
2: Paint gloss black
3: Paint gun metal
4: Paint gold
5: color code to car
6: ???
The wheels
Car color (similar to this)

I like low so thats good, but it still needs to be sort of legal.
Been reading up on the r33 conversion but the dog leg bracket seems a bit ordneary to me, swaybar sounds good tho.
ok thanks guys,
So S13 stuff seems to be the way to go for the rear suspension with r31 disc and calipers
What would be the best option for what will be pretty much a daily with maybe a track day thrown in.
I've got a set of the landcruiser/hilux calipers to go on the 240k struts with the vented verada rotors.
or should I use the r33 brakes on the 240k struts.
or get a set of s13 struts/coilovers for the front and use the r33 gear on those.
I'm not chasing anything to serious just want to utilise the best of what I've got to work with.
Would like to use the seats as making a set of rails should be fairly easy and free, I'm also thinking rack and pinion might be nice but also a major head f@#k but I'll look into that one.
You guys are a wealth of knowledge, thanks for sharing
cheers Dan
Ok, so theoretically speaking.......
If you had a complete R33 gtst skyline at your disposal and a C210 coupe to play with what parts would you use off of the R33?
and how hard (or expensive) said parts would be to fit.
I have been scouring the net for info but most of it's a bit sketchy.
Cheers Dan
The best bang for buck mod on a stock motor bar none, not so easy with EFI tho.
These are my play things......with above mods and C.I.G locker
This is the exhaust manifold after some spirited driving
Still waiting for a set of extractors so I can put the Holley/manifold on and plum it up properly, Have to move a ton of ballast from in front of the shed so I can give it a run but it seems to make a differance as is.
