Had a R33 come into the workshop today after getting defected. What a list to change to get through regency.

Turbo, Exhaust,wheels, coils, hicas, headlights, FPR, SAFC, BeeR, Timer, Steering wheel, horn, diff. And thats without getting the car on the hoist. Gonna take awhile.

does the owner also have a big "KICK ME" sign tattooed upon his/her genitals ?

-D

Please tell me you have seen the light?

Blue mesh rocks dude! :)

But no ... don't worry, its not going on the 33 :)

Any idea how much 19" Impuls would sell for second hand. Not sure I want to keep the impuls on the car.

condition of rims and tyres?

Rims are in good nick. Minor rash on one. Tyres are driveable, but one rear could use replacement due to camber wear. Seen these going for between $1100 (quick sale) to $1600 (sau for sale) and even $1500 (ebay).

Might throw an ad up in the FS section shortly.

Overall, car is in great condition. Interior is immaculate. Engine bay is tidy, no leaks. All panels are straight as. Interior is totally stock. Stock ride. Cops will have no problems with this 33. Only one problem ...

... previous owner before the guy I bought it off cut the reo bar. Gotta find me one of them. :)

Shopping for reo bar, bodykit, and 17"-18" rims.

Not bad!

Just having a cup of tea with some Gingernut biscuts. Yourself?

mmmm gingernut biscuits.....had an annoying headcold for a week now....starting to clear up now...every morningi wake up sounding like barry white

ruby, interested in swap for 18's of the same rim?

Have to weigh up if i want the cost of 19" tyres to replace first though.

I would be interested yes! For the same reason you're pondering over: replacing 18" rubber over replacing 19" rubber :P

PM me when you're ready

Shopping for reo bar, bodykit, and 17"-18" rims.

Join the list of 33 owners seeking reo bars :P

i say get a gtr front bar, and some rear pods, should be plenty, bodykits on a daily are a pain in the ass on Adelaide roads.

And get some 33gtr rims on it!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
