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 :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
