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

those clear rear lights look hot!

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?

:mad: very nice mate.

- rear clears are siik

- boot install is siik

- gts badge is a good touch

- not a fan of metal checkered floor plates.

but good work!

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:

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
