so after comming home from a mates place where i was playing some pool tonight i discovered the central west reversing ability is rather low. the r33 i bought about 3 weeks ago has now been reversed into. at this point i hadnt had a chance to put insurance on it so im in a bit of a pickle and as my job is delivering pizza in newcastle i have no way home atm and no way to do work. for now i have mums shed and a good mate to get her back on her feet. but this is where i need you guys to help me out. i dont have a very big budget because im not working for obvious reasons but at this stage i need the following:

> r33 s1 hood

> r33 s1 passenger headlight

> r33 s1 front grill with the skyline badge on it

> r33 series 1 radiator

> r33 series 1 radiots electric fan

> r33 series 1 front bar (might be able to fix the current one.

im sure there will be more that needs replacing when i start pulling it apart in the morning. im also thinking however seeings though im in the situation i wouldnt mind doing a series 2 front end coversion but only if i can stretch my budget. for now though can anyone inbox me with whatever parts they have an how cheaply they can let go of them. thanks everyone and wish me luck getting my pride and joy back on the road.

took me a while but thanks xntrq. car is back together and ive resprayed most of your parts black for that carbon fibre look. i put my original silver front bar back on after drift stitching it back together.

and im unsure of what hit it as i came out of a mates place, walked round the corner and there it was with the hood nearly bent back up onto the windscreen. so im guessing either vandals beat her up or a ute with a big toe ball went back on her.

nah its all good now. all i need replacing atm is my heater core but im picking one up tomorrow. next time im in sydney if u still have a r33 lying around i might come get the front rotors off it depending on condition?

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
