they love them.. but they are definitley not cheap..

ur looking atleast about 15k for a 1985 model... and 17k for a done up 1986 model..

because of their cult car status in japan.. they are very expensive to buy and import

86's may have been cheap when they were new, a long time ago, but now they have acquired almost cult status and price tags to match. Perhaps the original drfiters car of choice. They're pretty powerful, easily modded and make excellent drift machines.

It's getting very hard to find good example now though, most have led a hard life, but there is a few good ones out there I'm sure...

re thread topic...

there is an ad out at the moment in the cinemas by TAC (called TAC mockingbirds). i wasn't listening to it, bt it has a yellow R33 in it a numbr of times and at the end the rear end of the 33 is very porminant

we are showing it at the start of tomb raider as i expect most cinemas will have to do as well

There is a movie Jackie Chan made recently in Hong Kong which features a black R33, don't know the movie's name or if the skyline was a GTS-T or GT-R

Anyone seen this movie?

If thats the one where Jackie Chan chases the r33 with the silver fto at the start then I think your referring to Thunderbolt. Quite sure it was a gtr as it had the gtr spoiler. Cheers

They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
