Modding R33s

[R33_Rob]

hi, i just got my first car, 1994 Skyline R33 (not bad for a 16 year old)

But im not into racing, i just want to make my car like trick. I was thinking of gettin neons put inside the car and having them hooked up to missile switches and prehaps getting a GTR spoiler. Do you guys know where i would get a GTR spoiler and where would be the best place in brisbane to get my neons installed

let me save you from looking back in 6months and you wondering why you would get neons in a car, DO NOT GET NEONS.

Get the car lowered, get some rims. That will make your car more 'trick' then neons on the inside hooked up to a missile switch (vl turbo special).

personal i wouldnt do little things like that to your car. i did all that to my first car and got rid of it after afew weeks.... because for one it ruins the newness of the car and its more shit to break etc etc.

things like the GTR wing would be good moding, make the car look good etc.

with neons youll cop so much shit everywhere you go. you may pull more looks... but not in a good way, except from people under 18... they usualy think things like that are cool... not havin a go at ya... but im just saying usualy only under 18's like the rice factor...

and thats why ya see commo drivers have neons and cromies coz they pegg all the fat 16 year old biatchs...

spend that money on tinted windows, lowering to 11cm etc, the gtr wing etc etc

yea, it was extremely low when i got it. it was actually under the legal limit and i had to get it slightly raised. I also had alot of problems when it was so low as i would hit gutters. But when i learn to get out of driveways without hitting the front bumper ill have it lowered again

I appreciate your honesty though. I don't wonna drive past another skyline and that person think that im a wanker for having neons.

So no ideas on where i'd get a GTR wing in brisbane?

try posting that your looking for a GTR wing in the 'wanted to buy' section mate, other then that look at all the performance parts places on the net for prices.

ok thanks. On my mags there is this discoloration, does anyone know if there is a way to fix it, because i can't seam to get it off.

There is also this orangy color on the exhaust under the word 'dunk'

try some metal polisher. that thing works like magic

[R33_Rob]

thanks

You may also want to replace that rear left tyre before you wrap it round a pole....

[R33_Rob]

whats that supposed to mean

[Paradizzle]

whats that supposed to mean

It may be the photo, but i think he is referring to the NO tread on the inside of your left back tyre.

[R33_Rob]

Yeah it is the picture. The tires are no more than 1.5 months old. I just drive normally, haven't spun the wheels or anything...yet...

[ICER33]

neons = gay

for the wheels try autosol or purplestuff. these two are probably the best metal polishes on the market i use them all the time. oh yeah im a detailer so i have tried heaps of crap and trust me, if you want an awesome finish get purplestuff its expensive but

[RANDY]

Looking at the pic, it looks like the clear has come off, and the metal is oxidising now.

The metal polish or equivalent will make that area look nice, but the border between the clear and "no clear" will always be there until you get that rim repainted.

[RANDY]

Oh.. and add my vote for "no neons", unless you want to volunteer your car as a back-drop in the next "Too Fast, Too Furious" movie =-]

[Col-GTSX]

Yeah i was talking about the bald ness

Was not saying you are a bad driver.... Just pointing out the wear...

Most skylines sit on the inside of the tryes due to the negitive camber on the rear...

[R33_Rob]

ok cool. Ive noticed that when i'm driving at around 100Km my car feels kinda light as though its just sitting in the top of the road instead of gripping the road. Do you think a Wheel balance / alignment would fix this problem.

[RANDY]

What size tyre is it, and what do you keep it inflated to?

If your tyre is saggy, then it will expand out a little when you drive quickly... which will make the steering feel light. This, and I beleive the 4-wheel steering operates over 70km/hr?

[Col-GTSX]

Rear adjustable castor rods ($100-150 on ebay or in trader section) will bring the rest of your tyre back to the ground.

I personally disabled hicas (4 wheel steer) due to wheel scrubbing on the inside of the rears. But its the negitive camber that does most of the damage.

[R33_Rob]

The tires i have is NEXEL RADIAL N2000 though i have no idea what that means

Does anyone know what i should inflate them to, i cant find it on the tire???

EDIT: i keep them inflated to 34
