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.

    • Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster. 
    • I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240  
    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.  
    • Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
