R33 boot fit out


SIK R33
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

I am a new boy on the block still trying to find my way round this site.this is my first post so who knows what will come out.

At 44 I decided that restoring a sad and sorry looking 1994 R33 couldnt be that hard!could it?Yeah right.

It was my very first attempt at any thing like this and just to make it really interesting I did it at the same time as restoring a 1989 300zx.

Would really appreciate if you the people who would know ,could give me any feedback on its credibility and appearance with both the young and the older ones .The whole project was done with the intension of it being different to any other R33 Id seen and with the 300zx as well.photos of rest of project will be posted when I find were to put them on the site.

dont forget Be gentle it was my first attempt. Hope you like

Thanks

That is very nice. I love the dash, the dials, the tail lights, the deep dish, the boot setup also.

Did you do these mods yourself?

How much has it set you back so far if you dont mind my asking?

those clear rear lights look hot!

love the interior too..

if you dont mond me asking, how much did it cost for the clear lights, and it is just clear replacements for the red ones, and red bulbs? or was other items needed?

Nice to see someone put some love back into their car.

Seem to recall reading here, that you need to keep the red reflectors in the tail light to keep it legal. So all clear might run you into trouble, tho there prolly some other things in there to keep cops busy =)

Thanks Eug

Rear Clears are "Rare Clears" as well.Took forever to source and I`m in process of manufacturing some local as the cost to import was just over the top.Only downside is the light given is not a bright red and we will make with LED`s instead of globes.

Boot install took some work to fit in while keeping the space saver spare wheel and work around the battery.Subs are 10inch and the amps are piggy backed so underneath the visual one its brother sits total of 3800w driving the subs and 4 hertz speakers and 4 hertz tweeters in the cabin.Watching a DVD in the car is more fun than the village cinema .

GTS badge as you would know is impossible to source.A friend of ours produced it and I think it came up well.There is also a laser etched one in the cabin on the dash.

Yeah I know were you are coming from re the mats.have since put the original skyline mats in .

Thanks again for the comments. :D

With working in the Train industry their are some old style real tradesmen that dont get chance to ply their skills as they would like.This project let them do that and the whole job was not expensive.We did have to get some outside skills on it but all in all the two cars done wer every reasonable compared to what I have heard it can cost.

The main thing about both cars is the quality of the works done it is first class with all the work.we would do it again if it was not 110% correct.what i have found is that if the car looks good people will look for the one mistake and find it and forget the 99% of the car that is is perfect.so we made sure there was no one % to pick on.

On saying that hey people are still having a go at it.

If any of the guys on this forum see the car around in Melbourne feel free to introduce yourselves and have a look through it.

cheers Sumo :alien:

I thought there was a trader on SAU selling the rear clears about 6 months ago for a reasonable price. I didn't have a skyline then, so didn't pay that much attention.

I would love some for my 4 door R34, but haven't seen them for sale recently anywhere. Are you going to develop R34 ones too? :mad:

    • This is the part I was unprepared for. I mean, thinking about it now, the first day I collected my car from the importer someone posted a photo of it on the highway to an online JDM page which my friend then sent me. I drove straight to the office to pick up some things and was immediately swarmed by about ten college kids -  "how much power" "why no wing" etc. The next couple times I went out I didn't really notice anything, there was a "why no wing" at a service area at some point. Then during the fourth time out driving at the Nurburgring I got the "do a drift" - the bastard cut it out in this clip. The title in itself is a red flag. As you may have guessed, I am not a fan of the attention. This leads me to wondering what to do with the car in the future; I'll see how this year goes and it may be garaged, which it mostly is already, or maybe even sent back to Japan  to also be garaged and driven occasionally on visits. Fortunately my daily is as interesting as drying paint.   
    • I couldn't get this to work right, New clean IACV, coolant seems to flow and solenoid functions, but again as soon as I plug it in the idle raises, I ran the car for a good 1/2 hour messing around with various things it, no vac leaks. At one point with the IACV plugged in I was able with the adjustment in the side of IACV turned all the way in get it idle down a little to around 1000, but no lower, and it would surge, I unplugged the IACV engine rpms drop to about 350, turned the adjustment about 3 turns in , set idle to around 800 rpms' and it idles smooth. I set the idle stop screw abut the same so it cant drop below under load. the engine starts, restarts, with no load or with a load seems to run fine. I will have to leave it like this for now as I cant get it to function correctly with the IACV plugged in. One other thing I discovered that might be the reason for some of the issues, the engine in the car is a RB25det neo from a Stagea along with the Stagea ECU. so alot of wiring, plumbing etc that is typically there in a R34 is not. 
    • Hi all, Trying to seek some assistance with my issue. I'm currently doing a complete overhaul of my suspension / driveline, on my r33 gtr and have completed stripped down the front assembly. I had purchased a new pair of front knuckles (the painted silver ones in the pictured) They were advertised by the shop aswell as other retailers online to be compatible with the entire 4wd R chassis, however when trying to fit the new pair, they don't line up with the ball joints (from the lower control arm) and the steering tie rod.  The other knuckle pictured is what came off the car, everything fits up to it perfectly, however I've been unable to figure what variant they are from originally.
