  1. Vinyl/Carbon Wrapping is still relatively new. for a medium sized car expect at least $5,000 labour + materials. wrapping a spoiler will even cost you $500. imagine the work needed for a whole car.
  2. Hey guys up until now my gtr has been starting up fine on cold starts but a few weeks ago i noticed a very audible rattle which appears to come from bottom end. once the car warms up there is no more rattle. the car however drives fine. i have defi gauges and oil pressure + temperature seems fine. this doesn't happen on every cold start. very irregular. so i was wondering if any body could share some light? is it early symptoms of bearing failure? dying oil pump? here is a video clip loud rattle starts from 1:20 onwards. thanks alot.
  3. If your not going to track the car then normal enamel or acrylic paint will do the job. normal automotive paint is heat resistance up to a certain temperature. i know for a fact because i painted my previous calipers with two dollar store paint and lasted. just make you use lots of clear for protection. let it cure properly.
  4. Hi all. I'm a owner of a r33 gtr. the car is in good condition. stock as a rock. only mods are defi gauges and hks bov. There seems to be a strange grinding noise coming from below the car. only happens when the car is warm. never cold. roughly around 2.5 kpa on my defi's when i depress the clutch near the friction point. sometimes also happens on idle. when on idle i've noticed it usually happens when the oil pressure on my Defi's drops down a tad. in other words, when grinding noise starts, the oil pressure will drop down a tad. when the noise stops. the pressure will rise up again. here is an audio clip now on another issue which may be related. when i turn on the air con on hot days. the oil pressure sometimes drops a few kpa which results in a warning light on my Defi's my mate's have suggested it may be a cracked or bad oil pump. i thought i'd get your opinion. cheers
  5. i saw an article somewhere that said nissan is likely to bring it in near future rebadged as infiniti
  6. haha nice photoshop skills
  7. Hi SAUers. I have a HKS Super SQV Bov in my r33 gtr. i want to get rid of them but need the factory ones. so i'm making a deal. i'll swap my hks for your factory ones.
  8. Considering that you pick a quality gtr. Leave aside minimum of $5,000 for potential repairs.
  9. hi there. yeah initially i also thought it was normal among gtrs but at the same time was 100% so i just wanna check with other r33 owners. anyone else can confirm this? if it's injector, would switching to aftermarket like nismo help remedy the tappet noise?
  10. Hi SAUers, i have a few small issues with my gtr thats been bugging me. the engine is making a ticking noise which appears to be near the top end. it's very annoying and can be heard all the time. it doesn't sound that bad but still annoying. also when driving anything below 2500 revs. ticking can be heard. not ridiculously loud but very obvious anything below 3rd gear. noisy injectors? lifters? screwed crackshaft? dying valve?? timing? heres an audio clip 97 r33 gtr 117,000 kms Thanks
