Hey !

Back in 2008, I bought this white R33 GTST, with a view to using the Engine & Gearbox for my Datsun 260Z......I just thought it would be fun to show the before & after pics of the car, and then with the donk & box in the datto !

I was lucky enough to recover all the cash I s[pent buying the car, by selling the parts I didnt need...therefre the Engine & Box basically worked out free. It was a lot of work though !

If you were the one I bought the car from (or if you know him)...Let me know !

Woza

!

I bought the side skirts & rear pods from you a couple of years back!

Still have them on my car:

Haha brilliant !...yeah i remember you - you were looking for original plastic items, not the fibreglass aftermarket ones !.....will be interesting to see if any other people will realise and post !...I hope the owner of the wreck find the post ! LOL

that looks fantastic! howd u get under your hood all shiny n blue like u see in the movies??

Thanks Mate,

Not really sure what you mean....but Ill answer the obvious.....To get the engine bay all shiney & Blue....The rocker covers & injector caps were painted that same colour as the car (at the same time the car was painted). The engine bay was already painted from a previous build...although its not quite the same colour. That is a job I still need to do - Pull out the donk & strip the bay and get it re-painted same colour as the car. The rest of the shiney bits is really just time spent polishing pipes etc...VERY rewarding once done !

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • 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.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • 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?
