got my car back on friday after 8 weeks :)

very happy with how it turned out too! it's abit dirty in the photos but you get the idea.

im leaving for bali on thursday so when i get back im heading to boostworx, ET and a few other places to get some more power and a new alarm considering what happened last time :P and coilovers to drop it on its guts

every panel was stripped from the car and painted individually so you cant even tell it was another colour

ill be entering autosalon with SAU so i hope to see you all there if not sooner

Looks the part :rolleyes: Unfortunately mine is going back to Doyle's AGAIN, been having serious problems with the paint work, apparently one of their suppliers have had dodgy batches of paint or something along those lines so I'm looking forward to getting my problems sorted once and for all :thumbsup: May I ask roughly how much a full respray like that cost?

that sucks man, hope you get it sorted.

cant give you an perfect price as insurence took most of the cost away becasue of damage cost when someone tried breaking into my car but with everything i would say around 6k-7k give or take with kit and all panels taken off and sprayed

Cheers bud, hopefully this time will be the last time I'll have to take it back. Was toying with the idea of getting mine resprayed but seeing as I'll probably be selling soon it's not worth it, better off doing it on the next car

very nice job mate.

Good luck with the cops and the offset of those rear rims though - 1st Saturday night down the Bay or Anzac International Raceway and you're toast with a defect station.

been there done that, defected for that once before. once i lower it the irs should handle how much it sticks out plus abit of camber :D

the offset makes the car look abit better i think though too

Looks sweet, great colour for a show car.

Make sure you get an alarm ASAP - don't put it off, so much scum in this world!

dont worry dude, im not sparing a cent when it comes to alarm after what happened last time.

thanks for the comments guys :D

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
