the car looks much nicer now than when he owned it with its ugly 16" rims

good to see its finally being treated with some love and had some money spent on it!

wow, so much attention on my car! cool!

sorry, haven't checked out the forum in weeks.

ABOUT MY KIT: front bar is a very good GTR V-spec fibreglass copy. the side skirts and rear bar are some sort of veilside copy/rip off... acutually cannot wait to get rid of them. purchased the car as is, (but with shit 16" 3 spokes). my plans are to eventually fit a full m-sports kit!

the wheels you see in the pics are borrowed off a mate...going to buy them soon!

hey 12DFY... you drove past me on friday afternoon on reedy creek road. had no idea it was you (from this forum). good to see the 4doors uniting.

and yes we should organise a 4door only cruise!

Hey thats funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I was driving along and thinking to myself "bugger me that car looks familiar." Tis a nice sedan mate, got my attention anyhow.

Hey good to see interest in sedan only cruise. Let us know if you are interested and we will organise something!!!!!

Cool, I have two 33 sedans here in my garage so thats a good start. (Thats if missus joins in). I may even leave the baby seat in too. (go the family cars)

its funny, cause i first saw the m-sports catalog in a japanese magazine (option) and thought... i want a 4door R33 and i'm gonna put that kit on it.

and thats when it all started!

Ah yes drift barge you say, thats quite funny as since a skidpan is covered in water you are definately using the barge in the right place. Just kiddin

No i have only been at Gold coast area for four months so have not done skid pan. Let us know when its on and ill unleash my 220kw and my mechanical LSD in the appropriate manner. Been waiting for an excuse to do so.

My car started when i was 21 as a non-turbo and look what happened. So dont write it off as a barge!! + you probably use a tenth of the fuel.

heh, thats how i ended up with mine

i wanted something turbo, missus wanted something family

we all won

Not having a go at it being a family car mate, as I have family as well. 2 kids, everyone is a winner. My mates hammered me when I got it as then i was single and they were all like "get a couple blah blah blah." Perfect example they had coupes, we grew up and had families. Im the only one who still has a skyline.

Practicality and sports in one, you cant lose. You got my support as a family person!!!!

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
