Hi Guys, I have a 4 door 33. getting a full rebuild done. We dont have many skylines in Fiji so restoring mine. Some pics of the work in progress. Had quote a bit of rust in the boot well and front wiper area...replaced the bootwell and beaver panels. At the same time doing a manual conversion.

Jack it up high like the MCM Outfap to handle the roads?

Speedhumps can be an interesting experience when you arent expecting them...

Looks like you have made a good start.  

If you want a tip it is bag and label everything.  Also take loads of photos as you dismantle stuff.

A good portion of the roads in Fiji are built from surplus speedhumps imported from Albania. At least that's what it feels like.

As much as it is heresy to say so on here (please god, don't let slap find this thread) I would choose an Evo or an STI over a Skyline (in Fiji and places like it) simply because they work well even with high ride height and "rally" style suspension. Hell, for half the roads within easy reach of my house I'd be better off with EVO/WRX style vehicle.

WRX maybe, but definitely not STI or Evo. They don't have "rally style" suspension, they have "track day style" suspension haha. You're much better off with a CUV (Like Forester, XV, CRV) over there. Last time I was there, I did see an R33 and R34 cruising the highway (probably the only place you can drive them haha).

 

Ravinesh, firstly, nice name bro. Secondly, send me some nangona please.

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
