Car Sos R33 Gtr

[PranK]

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?

Wasnt disappointed like the wheeler dealer episode..

[Pezhead]

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?

[Redline_GTR]

Hmm must make sure to have a look.

Thanks for letting us know guys

[luke gtr]

Is only for rich people to see(pay TV).

Will have to wait another year for free to air.

Definaty a good watch.. Unlike the other show i just watch that did a 260z "drift" inspired build

Good episode this one. Though I often wonder how many owners fall victim to these shows only to have their car "ovrerhauled" or remade into something that ends miles off their intended expectations...
