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.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

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

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
