haha thanks man, these pics just remind me how much more room i have for poke and lowering.

sooo many things i want to do to the car, it just looks to me like "look at all the stuff im missing" ha

so my list of things to do visually are:

Days rear bar ad-on with black center

days carbon fiber frotn bar center cover

sideskirts of some description

dolphin front grill (still undecided)

dressy wheel nuts

twin chrome exhaust tips

eyelids

fix rust

slimline roofrakcs with thule wind deflector

also i have a colour scheme which i have admired since it blew up on the "scene" which will be the following

wheel nuts

brakes

rotors

engine bits

some subtle stickers

all in turquoise .... i.e...

combine these with some carbon fiber bits with my grey such as front bar inserts, wing maby...will look porn in my eyes

got some stop gap sollutions for my wheel nuts for the time being, before i can shell out $250 for project Mu nuts,

they look better than the crappy little nuts leaving big holes.

I've got my eyelids on with some double sided tape I picked up from Repco, apparently its designed for automotive use, its strong enough that I was pretty worried about breaking the eyelids when i had to take them off once lol. And they havent flown off the car after a few years, so thats something :P

Think it was just Repco branded, there were a few different types and brands different tapes at the store I was at from what I remember.

Although I also just remembered that the very first time I put my eyelids on i used double sided tape that I got with some Ikea furniture haha, it stuck pretty well too

I've got some very strong double sided tape Glyn, we used it at work. I've used it to stick side skirts on etc and its very strong.

I often drive past your work and I'm happy to drop some off if you want. I'll bring the 34 this time!

thanks for the tape, also i realised after that i was explaning thespacers....to the guy i bought them from hahaha...long day.

gonna try and get the eyelids, spacers and nuts on today, see how my day goes.

spacers are on, painted them black to be a bit more incognito but i need to paint my hubs too i have realised, otherwise they still just stand out.

IMAG2257_zpsee1c6289.jpg

still unsure if 25mm iss too big, im thinking maby it is???

car has been lowered back down to what i think is an acceptable level.

didnt have time last night to do the camber adjustment so the wheels are still streight up and down, the top of the tire tread is now inline "flush" with the guard...which looks dicky. i need the outer rim edge to be flush.

going to camber it back in and get the full allignment setup done properly as we have done most by eye so far.

IMAG2261_zps1a04581b.jpg

if it looks shit it comming off but i really hope it looks ok.

i do like the wheel nuts though, for a stop gap solution.

Your wheels are sticking out beyond the body. Camber is not the solution - camber is a suspension setting not a fashion item. If you can't move your wheels back in a bit you need narrower wheels or wider guards.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
