I thought starting a thread about what ppl have done to their cars would be a good idea. I'm sure a lot of us would like to see the before and after pics of the changes we've done to our cars, and a lot of ppl would like to show them off :D.

Maybe just show before and after pics..

What it's done..

And how much its cost

well mine is pretty simple so far... i bought a burgundy r33 gtst with a silly veilside bodykit, it was way too low and was a monstrosity, which resulting in me buying a whole new stock series 2 kit, seeing as my roof was fading and bonnet needed attention aswel as the new kit, a full respray happened. before this i bought a new dump pipe and high flow cat, after the spray i bought a new xforce cat back exhaust with electronic varex cannon as it was straight 4inch piping which sounded amazing and loud, but was not good for cop attention.

and in the last 6 months of owning it ive bought odds and ends for the cosmetic side of things, like series 2 steering wheel, nismo indicators, etc etc.. never touched the engine because it was always in top nick, and now its going to be up for sale soon so i can upgrade to a gtr!!!!

and also, how do you guys post pictures that size and that quality? ill post some of mine if ii can figure it out. :)

mines running a lemon under the bonnet with a couple coconuts hanging off it... go figgure.

Got to admit before joining this website actualy had hardly any respect for r33s.. but this thread n the pics of them, especially aberax has actually made me re-consider.. that is one nice looking clean r33 :D

That rx-7 is fkin mint.. would like 2 kno how quick it is and wat u actually use it for (track drag or just show)

And stang happy 2 see u realised that a black boot doesnt make a car look better on its own :D haha wat else u done to it ?

And type.. ive already admitted i don't kno too much about cars but physically u done much to it like second pic looks darker but guessing uve worked on the engine mainly? made much difference in power?

Come on guys I kno all of us make modifications 2 our cars mainly to make it more powerful n look better for our own reasons but we also do it because we want others 2 appreciate it so.. put ur cars on here tell us how much it costs ( so we know wat 2 do to ours) and also just 2 give alot of ppl ideas about wat 2 do 2 their cars and so we can admire some nice cars..

And tbh I'm a fair noob when it comes 2 cars and im sure a few others are so if u show wat uve done n explain wat its done n y... no1 will complain.. :D

fkk bro.. i guess thats wat happens when u love a car hey, ive been told not 2 buy a gt cause i can wait for 4 years n buy a peice of crap in the mean time... but i guess its all about lovin the car u have n enjoying it, then again that is a lot of money :P

U got a recent pic of it? wat powers it got.. and u regret it?

sometimes i look at it and say why, but i dont for one regret it, its not all just about the car, its about the friends you have made along the way!

and i last made 380kw on a hub dyno, but goes for a new tune tomorrow.

so im thinking around 350kw on 25psi.

check my build thread ;)

I challenge you to find either my car rego, phone number, address or anything else that would indicate who owns my car (i.e. who i am) or where it is located :thumbsup: . I have always been very careful about what pictures are posted and anything that indicates who D_Stirls actually is, the only thing that has been posted is that my name is Dale.

EDIT!! actually at the moment there are 3 threads with my number in them but i'll deal with them shortly.

Also there is no connection between FB account and my D_Stirls persona, and unless i've accepted you you can't see anything on there anyway.

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
