Blue R33 with a dodgy R34 front end conversion? I used to see it around every now and again in Hobart when it was still registered a few years back, I thought it looked awesome when I first saw it but on closer inspection it looks like it was a little bit roughly put together (never saw in too much detail though). The guy who owned it at the time drove it like the king of douche bags. Only general douche baggery in traffic and throwing it around, seemed to like the image, never saw him sitting on limiter or anything like that though.

From memory when I was initially praising the cars looks Funz32 didn't seem to think much of it, I don't know how much experience he had with the car but he knew the driver by name (daniel? I think?), could be worth asking him :)

A lot of people from here should know the car because it stands out like a sore thumb, good luck mate

Found it, even has pics of how it was in January 2010. Reading my posts it seems I have a pretty different opinion of the car and driver, maybe time has made me into an arsehole?

Either way, this is the post I was looking for:

has been in a severe front end, not sure of how much damage came out of it though, but a bit. as for the rest.. umm yeah.. no comment :)

Here's the rest of the thread for context:

cheers guys, the few times i saw it, it was pretty haggard too, but now seems to have had some $$ spent on it as its all one colour and looked straight? only thing that put me off was the fact it is unrego'd and needs pitting and still asking 8k...

iv been informed its rb25de+t with a 20 box? can anyone confirm this?

yes i know that car , it's definitely de+t , still 4 stud last time i saw it , has definitely had a hard life by the people i saw that owned it . all of the body kit was sikaflexed on and painted over , the best part about the car was the new head lights . it may be better than it was when i last saw it though .

*shameless plug* i have a nice 32 sedan id sell around that money , nice tidy car :)

Left hand rear quarter has about 50 pounds of bog in in it, looks Like it was applied with a shovel and rubbed with a rock. Hands down one of the biggest shitters about. Was "clean" about 6 years ago, would make good target practice now.

wasnt really looking for a tidy daily all the same as i have my 32 and a bmw, but still.. i turned away from it lol.

he's asking 8k needing pitting.. (dreaming i know but i planned to lowball him and use facts against him lol)

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
