that reminds me of that tv ad where the guy wakes up, has a cuppa and decides to chop the roof off his car:D:D

sounds like an expensive idea anyways.....dont u have to get that stuff engineered too?? i think it'll look strange as skylines are abit too big in general...would probably look like a 300zx convirtable.......something different but in the same sense funny lookin. u'd be the first to have one though:D:D

someone to a photochop so we can get a vague idea of what it'll look like.

Yea i would be the first one :) and if i sell it people would be what the hell is a r33 convitable :(. Yea i think that the car is too long to be a convirtable, but it would cost a fortune to make it. Good Auto-Salons idea though :P

hehe... go have a look at a convertible silvia and the NUMEROUS stuctural reinforcements that have been added to it by Autech, and then try n replicate them in your R33... otherwise you'll have a nice looking convertible R33 which will crumble n contort faster than a stack of cards.

Roofs in R33's aren't there for looks they function as a very huge strut brace, n the help the car from twisting while you drive... mess up the transfer of force through the car and you could very easily find yourself paraplegic.

im sure there is a 300zx drop top here. Like several of the others are saying the reinforcement is the biggest issue (along with looks I suppose!). Usually the windscreen frames are extra strong as thats the highest point of impact in a roll and the sides are reinforced too.

have found some pics of the drop top 300zx. Not the one from here but on ebay. It only has about a day and a bit to run but here is the link:

Can ya get us some pics SMB =)

A tagra top Skyline huh, would look pretty kool

300ZX's werent convirtable, they had a Tagra top, like the rarer supras

no there was a limited release of convertibles.

and like rhett said the 33s would look stupid but the 32 would suit a drop top more... the 33s lines dont flow properly.

there was a mad one for sale about a year ago for $45K but this thing was a minter...

tan leather... just redone... 20" gold and chrome BBS rims... exhaust... few minor engine mods and a full stere system including subbies with customer install also surrounded in leather... the drop top was also tan and the car was a nice blue/green metalic with a gold pearl.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
