  1. Yup Ive noticed ! You might wanna check out the price of a front drivers side inner guard liner for a R33 GTR ! Best you be sitting down when you do so !
  2. And for $250 they are a friggen bargain ! I'll take a punt and say USA ? If so its $178USD ! Double bargain because its a bolt up, no stuffing about trying to make it fit.
  3. Pivot ball OK? Checked the clutch pedal box ? ( they are notorious for the spot welds breaking apart. Especially with high load pressure plates)
  4. $750 each ? Or a pair either way I think I'm going to get back into and start up and injection molding business for Nissan parts ! ABS will do the job fine
  5. Genuine Nissan ones ? Made of fiberglass reinforced nylon ? Most reproductions are fiberglass ones !
  6. I know nothing about LM 2/3/4 center caps ! ! ! ( search search search ) . . . . . But if you get stuck the and you still want to go with that style of cap then the alloy outer body could easily be spun up on a lathe. The center section looks like an insert and could be molded up in various plastics or resins to suit
  7. Best to check if they are still available new before you let anyone take them out because if they break your stuffed I believe they are discontinued and only reproduction ones are available.
  8. Welcome to SAU Justin. There's a wealth of info here on this site with the Tutorials section probably being a good place to start when you get stuck. Also the search function will help as well but you will probably have to do a fair bit of digging as again there is masses info here. Failing that there are the SAU enthusiasts here as well who all have the brains the sizes of planets when it comes to the subject of Skylines. Post up some pics of your R33 so we can see our new ride
  9. I just screamed "IN COMING" and hit the deck and shimmied on my elbows away to cover ! !
  10. Yep here's the finished result but not a very close up pic:
  11. Noooooo . . . . Dont vinyl wrap the dash fascia ! Do it properly. Take off the dash fascia and strip off all the vents, switches, buttons etc etc. Take a scouring pad and scrub off the factory spray on vinyl. This is a bastard of a time consuming job to get it all off from all nooks and crannies but worth the effort. Sand everything smooth with a fine wet and dry sand paper. Get a small can of clear plastic primer to coat it and then get a can of matt or satin black enamel and paint it.( I used engine paint for a super hard finish) I gave mine one coat and then a second coat holding the spray can back further than normal to give it a coarse, very fine sand blasted effect. Worth the effort in the end
  12. And here's another thing that's driving the prices up : "CAN SHIP TO USA OR UK AND CLEAR CUSTOMS ADDITIONAL COSTS NOT INCLUDED" God bless America !
  13. Wait ! What ? Are you telling me my R33 is now worth the 18K paid for it . . . .15 or 16 years ago ? ? ! ! Yay ! That's friggen legendary !
  14. Yep frigged around with this system back in 2009 and posted what I was going to do in the A-LSD section. Worked very well in the end but I have to agree with the vast majority for the amount of effort to get it to work it would be better to get rid of it.
  15. Well done on that front bar ! You'll have to eventually fill in the cut outs where that center cross bar used to be as it will a flex point when you hit those over sized speed humps and parking bollards local councils put in. I to start practicing your plastic welding skills via YouTube on the interweb ! ! !
  16. THIS: Factory R33 DIN pocket ( Copied from an earlier SAU image )
  17. "Loose drivers switch" part of the button has broken away on the inside button itself. This holds a small white plastic spring loaded pin. Pop the button of carefully, after taking the unit out, and look for the broken plastic bits, clean out the lubrication grease with ethanol and super glue ( I believe it called crazy glue in the US ) back together. Bit of a fiddly job and you may have to put a small piece of supporting plastic in to stop it breaking off again . . . . or you can buy a whole new unit for a gozillion dollars !
  18. Hmmmmm . . . . check the drivers side door window control unit. Some one may have replaced it with a later model one out of a series 2 and fiddled with the electrical wiring to get it to work. From memory a Series 1 has a 9 pin plug and a Series 2 a 11 pin plug . . . or was it vice versa ? ? ( oh my Oldtimers disease is at maximum at the moment ! ) I'm sure some one on here can confirm that.
  19. Get sequential, install it and then drive kids to council pool/beach/river/pond/billabong in it ! Win ! Win !
  20. Have you checked everything on the rack ? Like the mounting bushes ? hint hint (search) ! Rack ends ? As GTSBoy stated get underneath while its on stands and get a friend to turn the rack back and forth, lock to lock, and see if there is anything unusual.
  21. That's an exceptional price for that front quarter cut ! Even here in Aus you couldn't get it for that price ! And that front bar will transform the front of the car. Another cosmetic thing I did was change out the front guard blinkers to clear or smoked versions. After a while I started to notice it was the only yellow thing on the car and, to me, didn't look right.
  22. 5 Zigen Twin Mode Clutch System ! So you can have both !
  23. Holy Snappin Duck Sh%t Batman ! That's a seriously Warragamba Dam sized front air dam man ! I've got a heap of envy bordering on jealousy ! I remember a white fastback coup from back in the day with the same sized flares makin 380hp. Had some weird engine conversion running a Yamaha head . . . Loved them back then and still love em now !
  24. So around 30K AUD which is a very good price for a clean unit like that ! Buy It ! It'll get plenty of attention in the US !
