similar thing happend to me last sunday when i was parked on side street while i was at the pa hospital. come back to the car to find a note and that i had been reversed into with a nice towball punch in my front bar. however they did leave a contact number. which i thought was very unusual these days as the last car i saw with a note on it said "hey mate i hit your car but you can go get f&*(ed". i got some quotes but they only seemed to offer me after market front bars and i rather like the one i have. so i spoke to a mates old man and for half the price of a new one i can fix my bar and she is paying for it. works out well as i can fix the other part of it that was driveway damaged as well.

but as far as for where to park look for other skylines. if i see a park next to another one i dont care how far i have to walk at least i know they wont go bangin into me. (well thats the hope anyways)

I was lucky to find one hidden in a shed. It's been there for over 10 years now, without being driven, and has less than 50k on the clock. I've convinced the guy who's been hoarding it to part with it (less than 10g). I know I've got a bit of work to do to get it back on the road, with replacing seals/rubbers/oils etc, but it'll be fun. :D

Lucky you man...All the Turbo Cosworths that I have seen are fetching more than most R32 GTR's.. Have a look on Carsales...One in vic asking 49K for it

It's not the Cosworth, the Cosworth has a modified head to give it more power. This one's a standard turbo XR4 model, that looks like a Cosworth.

On another note, I saw some nice looking Skylines on the Sunshine Coast over the last two days! And not one new dent on the R33!

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
