I test drove a few R33's down there when I was looking for my car. I didn't end up buying from there, but the cars and the guy I dealt with (think his name was Christophe) seemed genuine. Only reason I didn't buy from then was because I found a very neat example advertised privately for less $$$, otherwise I would have bought from there...much better than some of the shonks you hear about on Parra Rd etc.

Yeah I know what you mean about parra road. I went down there and the 2 R34s I looked at looked like they were genuine, and Ben the guy I spoke to was helpful and knew what he was talking about. Looks like I might be going down there to get my skyline once I sell the Mustang.

Northshore prestige is ok, My mate was looking for an R33 and he test drove one from there and they gave him the keys and didnt go with him in the test drive. You should have seen the rubber he left on the road!

My mate bought an R33 S2 from those guys - no problems. He managed to talk em down 2.5K and he got em to put on a 3" exhaust. Not sure on how much warranty he got but.

They looked after him good and 5 months later his car is still going fine. Id recommend.

thats my mustang in the sig, I'm looking for around 35K for it.

Firstly, and sorry for the hi-jack, that is one tasty looking 'stang. One of them will be in my garage one day. Just that it's pretty full at the moment!

I've never bought a car from prestige, but I looked at one of their soarers at Autosalon yesterday. Their campaign girl saw me looking and came over, I told her that I'd just bought a soarer, but she was still very friendly (and hot as!) and we chatted for a few mins. I think the fact that they bother to get involved in the scene (by going to SAS) is a good sign, and I've heard nice things about them.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
