Does anyone know where I might find some M12x1.25 fine thread nyloc or cone nuts?

To use on the bolts which connect the coilover to the knuckle on S13.

Tried specialty fasteners, they didn't have any.

Try a wrecking yard, get it off another car.

B> Straight rolling shell of a R33 SR2. Genuine rolling shell. No history.

Paper work will need to be provided with purchase.

*Short story - I have an R33 SR2 with fairly bad chassis damage and costing a lot to repair from a shop. Need a 100% genuine rolling shell so RTA will pass the new body without any hassles.

Cheers guys !

No Sorry.

Does your current 33 have enough goodies to transfer into another shell ?

It wont be cheap.

I'm at work atm and cannot access the site, but do they sell rolling shells? or issit more so bits and pieces?

I've got everything I need to swap my bits and pieces into a rolling shell. My current 33 is in preistege condition bar the chassis damage. I just need a rolling shell to be straight so I can put my goodies in there. But really don't want to get a guttered 33. Hoping I can find someone who has recently just done a RB25 transfer and not wanting to touch anything else.

I've had quite a few people offer shells but way to much work for me to jusitfy their prices they're offering.

Think you need to find the "right" person to fix your issue on your 33.

Unfortuantely I dont know that person yet ..

Haha yeah, if it was that easy to get a mate to re-wield the parts then I'll be laughing (I need engineer certs as well for it). Rolling shell seems to be the most promising solution unless work offers more work to which I can pay a workshop to fix.

Job security is my only factor atm - No money - no fix.

Was planning to put the car up on carsales Easter weekend, but after that criuse. Oldm8 Helga showed me a different side to her :(

I dont know how it was sold to you with a bent chasis. I know they'd never find the boddies if it happend to me.

So now you need to offload - probably at a big loss - and unless you dont want to be found in the bottom of a local lake you will have to fess up to the problem and provide an approximate cost to have fixed.

Lose/Lose :(

I got the dodgy done to me. The car did state it had an econmic repairable write off - however, that was 9 years ago. Given it was NSW you'd think it would've been fixed given they need an insecption every 12 months. (Dodgy certs). From what I felt about being done over, I would not do the same to someone else. I will advise them of the damage and will provide the reports as needed. But this car would be an amazing track car (Non rego'd). The inside is awesome and the only downside of it all is the damage done to the chassis.

Wouldn't mind seeing $4,000 for it, but who knows. I'm not a dodgy bloke regardless ;)

I'm at a massive loss whichever way I turn. A lesson learnt as some would say.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
