Garyae86 R33 Build

[garyae86]

Have been meaning to put up a build thread of this in a long time It really wouldn't be a car im a fan of at all but since a lot of people think there shit ugly i taught id try make something out of this one its going to be a slow progress build as its hard to pick up skyline parts these days especially r33 ones or maby i am not looking in the right places.
Ok ill start with the way i bought the car

Its a standard r33 natural aspirated rb20 e very straight car i bought it with just the enkei wheels
so took of the wheels as they were sold and my god what a job it was every one off the wheel studs have to be replaced :mad: as the wrong nuts was sowing on to them :mad::(

[garyae86]

The plan will be to get the car looking the way i want it first and see what else it needs in no hurry yet to go ripping the engine out as its very fresh motor and running 100%

But further down the road it will be getting a rb25det hopefully with a few mods but as for now the rb20e will have a stressful life ;)

[lady89]

nice one, gonna look forward to more updates!

[gar]

nice clean r33 yea have there , ill be keepin an eye out for updates ;)

[garyae86]

Thanks guys i remover the standard spec 2 rear spoiler today and put on this lip spoiler as i hate spoilers on r33 so this was just to bring the boot up to level with the quarters and cover all the holes in the boot




so this is the one i took off
http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r523/garyae86/Mobile%20Uploads/20141122_105244_zpsbab001aa.jpg (http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/garyae86/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141122_105244_zpsbab001aa.jpg.html)

[michealkirwan]

fair play lad i had one last year youve the same engine theyre fair handy to throw out, the spoiler you had i had its the goki low level drag spoiler its called. theres a r33 in kilkenny in mulhalls scrap yard there might be a few bits on it, well wear, ps theyre not ugly mine was liked around for being different

[garyae86]

cheers lad yea ah there fairly dead engine tho but seem to have a bit of torque in low revs any way im still replacing all the bits that the car is missing the front indicator was cracked so replaced it with a new one

[garyae86]

http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r523/garyae86/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141028_170944_zps13b057f1.jpg (http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/garyae86/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141028_170944_zps13b057f1.jpg.html)

http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r523/garyae86/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141102_185007_zpsafedb5dd.jpg[/URL

so went to fit the nardi and as soon as i had the original wheel airbag out i know i was looking at more hardship as someone was at it before and had rung the threaded column and there was no way i was going to get my new wheel on over that as it wouldnt be safe [URL=http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/garyae86/media/Mobile%20Uploads/1416678333941_zps99f8c25f.jpg.html]http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r523/garyae86/Mobile%20Uploads/1416678333941_zps99f8c25f.jpg (http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/garyae86/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141102_185007_zpsafedb5dd.jpg.html)

[garyae86]

Also picked up wheels 17x9 et32 p1 buddy clubs have a set of four but think i might just use these up front and go wider on the rear http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r523/garyae86/Mobile%20Uploads/20141122_151603_zpse0dd2a46.jpg (http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/garyae86/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141122_151603_zpse0dd2a46.jpg.html)

[pole drift]

Nice to see one getting tidied up as opposed to being broke. Keep up the good work. Are ya gonna convert it to 5 stud?

[garyae86]

Yea iv always liked them but had never seen my self looking out to buy one but since this one was 15 minutes as for the 5 stud over the road i said id tidy it up as for the hubs there staying 4 stud for now as iv other things to spend money on :)

As i want to keep it all standard aero i wanted something else that would make the car stand out soooo

[Stevo]

Looks well man

[garyae86]

Thanks Stevo that cherry red one in Brians yard is got a awful rapeing lol

[jonnyrb]

Im liking where this is going, wheels really suit it

[D-turbo-lad]

looks really well now gary :D

where did you get the blue tint tho ? been on a bit of an eye out for some to try !

[Andrew200sx]

this is definatly going in the right direction. like the old skool blue tints :P

[garyae86]

Thanks guys for all the nice comments very happy with the way its coming together the way i want it wheels do suite it well color wise aswell got the blue tint on ebay gavin

so today i was doing a little bit with the car and since there is little bits off the interior missing + needs replacing one thing that bugged me was the cigaret lighter plug thing what ever its called was missing so instead of going looking to get one i looked around the garage and found a vacuum gauge from my sr86 so said that will fill the hole so drilled the hole a little bigger for the gauge to fit in and wired it into the plug for the cigaret lighter
http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r523/garyae86/Mobile%20Uploads/20141205_120538_zps02f17af9.jpg (http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/garyae86/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141205_120538_zps02f17af9.jpg.html)

didnt turn out to bad

so i think the last piece of the interior that is looking shit is the gautor around the gear stick if anyone has one can they let me know cheers

[Andrew200sx]

the leather around the gearstick would look better if you bin it.....and maybe get a bit of bride material and make a sorround with it. or any material atall.

[garyae86]

Was thinking doing that but wanna try get one as iv a spg recaro to go in yet and don't want to put bride material in the car yet
