not personally but the cops know who did the damage firstly so i'd assume its the same guy. theres lots a red tape and that shit. but i'd love to meet the guy "for a beer"

when my dad was younger he had a red lotus in the UK. someone scratched it all the way around the pannels and wrote SIHT on the roof.

he got it resprayed black but he never felt happy about the car after that and sold it :(

its horrible that people can do things like that.

Hey Kel - sad to see this happen, Ryan and I were shattered when you told me!

I do miss that car hey, even with his old shitty white bits he had character ^.^ To see him go from that to what he is now, you have done really well, im glad you kept the car.

I had my 32 keyed in a few places on a few separate occasions, people just dont give a crap. I'm paranoid about leaving my car out the front of any house, just over-protective I guess :)

Here's to moving on, and hoping to hell that Karma works.

Hooned ( for two Bunny hops WTF!!! ), Impounded, Lost my licence, Arrested, and lost my BF - Thats all there is to it...

Cars back now with out the yellow sticker.. i dont want to talk about it. Sorry guys :thumbsup:

What I have learned

Nice cars can never be owned! they always end up owning you!

To be different means to attract attention; both good and bad attention!

If you can afford to own a one off car,

You need security, you need somewhere safe to park it "garage' and you need to realise that

to some people your car is a great achievement but to others its a big smack in the face - to something they dont have!

Part and parsel of owning a unique car is that yes its a target to some and yes it will cost you an arm and a leg to keep unique and in top condition but hey if it didnt then the meaning behind owning these cars would be lost.

sorry to hear...

if its metallic and has flake its hard to match up... the colours have a "flip" where the colour changes from different angles... and depending on how its sprayed (pressures and angle affect the way the metallic particles stand on the panel)... the only real ways around it are to either respray the whole car, blend into the other panels or put up with a slightly off colour...

thats why i dont like metallics.. or flakes and pearls.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
