1996 R33 Series 2

SAFC-II (original ECU)

3-Inch Turbo back

Nismo 400R kit

Bilstein suspension

18"s with Federal 595's

Turbosmart gauges

Coil packs

I apologise for the horrible faded decals, the former owner... ugh... They are a pain to remove!

I recently bought this from Sydney, I wanted a car that could be used as a daily but needed work done, new to the turbo side of things and really keen to learn so I wanted something I could slowly fix and clean. Nothing more satisfying than finding a neglected car and saving it! Still new south wales plated, had like 8 months nsw rego!

1996 R33 Series 2

It's the right year and series but needs more doors! Looks Nice, shame about the front bar though...

and + 1 more for Welcomes. :thumbsup:

Nice and welcome ! an R33 was my first turbo. Couldn't swipe the smile off my face for weeks.

Yes, despite all the dramas, you were a very smiley fella. :D

Thank guys! Really is a shame about a lot of things on the car, one of those ones that just needs some TLC. Which means a chance to learn how to do a lot of cool things! I'm trying to clean it up to be a nice daily driver, hopefully finished build will have around 200rwkw's, student funds are horrible for saving however. Hope to see you guys out and about! :cheers:

Haha I do want more eventually, but I'm on fairly limited money being a full-time student working part-time retail. For now I'm cleaning the general car itself and restoring and replacing most of the original and damaged parts. More focusing on reliability and condition until I start earning a little more money :) Who knows though!

I'm a little hesitant to upload photos of my baby until ive cleaned it up a little more :\

I bought it in pretty crappy condition (nothing too major) and have been trying to restore it to its former glory.

He even had different sized spark plugs in there!! :wacko:

1998 R34 GT-T

3" Kakimoto (i believe thats how it is spelt!) Turboback exhaust

Nismo Twin Plate Clutch

19" Wheels (previous owner put them on, no clue what they are)

HKS SSQV BOV (so sexy)

Sound system transferred over from my previous car (bought a while ago still kicks hard!)

BC Suspension (can't remember the exact model but cost me $2100 and worth every damn cent!)

I know that feeling !! When you can only earn $400 a week when you have insurance/rego/phone bill/petrol/girlfriend it gets hard to put any money aside to do stuff to my baby! One day.. One day...

    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
