Hey guys and gals,

tossing up ideas for my next toy...

as much as i'd like to build my cefiro, i want to put the money to better use while i have it (investments etc). So i'm looking at other options.

Where can i find VIP style kits for r33 4 doors?? I want to see if there's anything that tickles my fancy and I can't find the old "body kits" thread.

Also, over-fenders and flared guards...? (pics)

Thanks in advance,

Dave.

wouldn't really consider a R33 suitable for VIP treatment...

but any Wald, Insurance, Final Konnexion, or Diana kit (that's listed from most expensive to least expensive) from japan should give you a junior-pimp look.

You want skins for your doors, so that they sit flush with the sideskirts, and bumpers and sideskirts that go straight down instead of on angles like the drift look vertex knockoff ones.

Yeah, me neither really... more like a half-arsed VIP look... was thinking guard flares all round (the lil lip ones that bolt on - know the ones?) or maybe replacement flared guards on the front and guard flares on the back (more of a drift look); teamed up with a nice front and rear bar, LOW suspension (possibly air); tint, huge rims with plenty of dish and leather laden interior etc.

you know what i mean?

If VIP is what ur after i would stay away from 4 Door R33's.... look pooh..

Cefiro... Celsior... Laurel or if u are wanting a 4 door skyline go the R32 or if you have the moula go R34... they look PHAT AS!!

JUST BUY THE CEFIRO :wave:

I reckon it could turn out fantastic.. Just be prepared to spend up big, don't take any shortcuts on the kit and wheels.

What about importing something >1988 already pimped up? Something with factory bags and height controller maybe..

A celsior is my most likely purchase i think... there's one i really want but if i spend that much on a car, i'll have less to play with so i might get a pretty stock one and do a few simple mods.

Don't tempt me... it's killing me to not let myself go nuts but i know it will be much better in the long run :D

if i get a cef, i'll add drift mods (can't help myself) and spend more than I want :spank:

if you want VIP, buy a JZS147 Aristo... end of story... cheapest, coolest import atm. You can get the 2JZTT and make it a sleeper/cruiser, or buy a 2JZ N/A or 1UZ V8 and make it fully pimped (as a bonus the 1UZ models come with airbag suspension so you can drop it like its hot).

Under 20k easily for a late 1996 model.

There is no alternative... except maybe a Chaser or a Mark II.

Forget the Celsior.

I'm with funky Aristo shows execpional value... couldn't belive some of the prices quoted on J-spec. factory option wings are already pimpin too :D

Oh! I had no idea they came with the 1UZ & Air-bags!! that makes them so much more appealing! I'm really fussy re: the kits on them tho... generally, it's an ok looking car but there's only few kits that make me want one. It is on the list tho :) my mental debate is between that and the celsior.

or a CIMA! coming to a store near you

Sexy as! but the current SEVS ruling is only for the 2001(ish) model isn't it? which is a little more than I want to spend :worship:

Forget the Celsior.

Yeah, I've had that one bookmarked for a lil while now... How hard is it to find:

*1UZ

*Air-Bags

*Leather Interior

*Cheap :)

??? (My knowledge on the aristo's is very limited atm; thus my complete ignorance to the fact that they came with the 1UZ)... we could be on to something here :ermm:

(Funky: I think you're the person I'm really directing that too...?)

yeah soon i hear! *giggles like a chick*

already :laugh:

but as above... only '01+ models... any possibility of the older?? for affordability...

if i could bring myself to put up the extra moolah, this would be the kinda base i'd want:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
