Hey all

Some of you may know that a drifted my car into a wall about June and have just been tracking it without the front being fixed.

Finally got round to getting it all together.

All up the crash cost me around $1500.

Intercooler, lights, indicators and paint etc. Thanks to the generosity of Steve and Troy for the free front bar and reo. Legends!

If anyone wants good paint for not a lot of money try James from Patti Panels in Campbellfield. He's been a great help and was flexible to fix/paint the car to the level that I wanted. I didn't want a perfect job coz I'll probably just smash it again! He'll do a top notch job too if that's what you want. Very easy to deal with.

Anyway I'm very happy with the results!

Here are some pics:

Yeh guys ive gotta say this 'cheap job' is as good if not better than most 'top notch' jobs that kents pay thousands for :\ looks great from far but up close there are no nasty surprises.

For the money paid it is bloody insane value for money thats for sure!

Patti Panels are a great alternative to say DT Panels, if you want a cheap but great job, hit James up for a quote, you definately wont be dissappointed. And as Russell pointed out, they can also do a showroom finish if thats what youre after.

btw im in love with the new look of Russ' car!

type M bar shits on GTR bar when you have GTR bonnet and grill IMO.

Looks great.

Yeah but I still think it doesn't look like 'my' car without the gtr bar. If I can find a good one for cheap I'll probably still go that way.

Cool, good to see it all back together. Looks good and you dont even have the money wheels on it

Hoping my paint will be finished before xmas and all my mechanical fixes by end of Jan, then we can go rub panels and undo all the good work of others :D

It's on!!! haha.

Got some N1 headlights on it now and it's looking more like 'my' car again haha.

I should clarify that it was only the front quarters, bonnet and bar that got painted. Don't look too close at the rest of the car haha.

      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.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
