Hi there everybody, just picked up my first import, a 1995 r33 gtst.

I have a few plans, to clean up the exterior with a respray.
In the immediate future I need to fix the annoying misfire that cropped up. New spark plugs tomorrow and injector cleaner, splitfires from there and we will see how it turns out!

welcome mate. and what ^^^ he said =)

OEM are just as good as Splitfires, so consider them when the time comes too, personally I would use OEM until pushing big power and they aren't enough, at which point neither are Splitfires.

Would also recommend doing other fluids and filters while you have the hood up.

Hope to see more pics up soon :yes: as we luuurrrv pics here.

Oem is expensive. Split fires are a great alternative. The end

you're just looking in the wrong place. Just need to be willing to wait for postage.

They are a great alternative, agreed, and if you want something easy and off the shelf in Aus then Splits are the way to go.

Well I have a not so good update, i went to change my spark plugs today and i found a yellow/white build up of dry powder like shite on my coil packs and in the valley, and it randomly started puffing out white smoke (not thick as hell, but enough to notice from inside the car)

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
