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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
