I was appalled at how horrible the Wheeler Dealers Skyline episode was. It really put me off the show.

On the flip side, I've always found the less-showy Car SOS to be a better watch, even if they don't show quite the level of mechanical work that Wheeler Dealers does.

I caught the 2nd half of an episode where they were SOS'ing an R33 GTR. I had to do a double take because I'd never seen them work on anything newer than mid-eighties.

It was so nice to see them restore the car rather than "modifying" it. They replaced the exhaust (3.5" maybe) with a fresh built exhaust, they replaced the Nismo wheels with a new set (that looked questionably "Nismo" to me) and then they cleaned and repainted. Nothing silly.

And holy smokes it looked *so* good afterwards. Sounded great too.

Anyone else seen this episode?

Thanks for the head's up. Watched the episode off my PVR last night. It was pretty good. And so nice to see the ressurection of a car that was well shagged but had that typical skyline potential waiting to be unleashed.

I wonder how much he paid for those LM-GT2's?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
