Gud dai People,

Names Elle, just joint todai. I own a 97 R33 which i imported about 7months ago.

Im down in adelaide, and enjoy cruising around and working on my car. fortionatly

i still got lots to learn, iv just decided im goin to start on mods for my car, starting

with Luks then power. Any iideas and tips wud be appreciated. also if you got any

parts for sale let me know via email [email protected] Luking forward too

getting to know every1 and learning new things !! :thumbsup:

ey welcome, ur looking for exterior mods? Best to start with the body kits. If you look around forum you can find good cheap ones. Once u got them go for rims, if u want, tint windows and little things like Aftermarket side mirrors. Once you have everything arrange for paint job. Get the paint yourself like i did i paid 160 for 5Litres and then try find someone on the forum in SA who can do the labour and spray the car. i got my whole car painted for $600 off a friend in preston (melbourne), too bad you live SA.

Thanx for the advice, so far been shopping around for a kit, but my pickyness aint exactly helping, that and the fact that i cant find a top secret rear bar..... mite have to give up on that idea :) otherwise everything seems to be comming together pretty well.. just gotta find the time to get it all together. Where do i find paint?? and how do i find my color code?? please to meet you btw :)

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
