My R33 Skyline

[-BigDave-]

So after looking for a 180sx and being fucked about all week over one up the country, I decided to view an R33 that was for sale locally. Gave him a buzz, test drove it and checked it out and was happy out with it so bought it. Its a 2 door GTS25 so a 2.5L non turbo model. I really wanted to go turbo this time but at the price I got this car for I couldn't resist. She's got plenty of poke and she's 4 stud so the 3 piece works I bought earlier in the week will fit her. The car was absolutely manky when I got it so myself and Dil off here spent a couple of hours cleaning her inside and out.

First thing we did was remove the grill, then we took off the rear spoiler. Way nicer car without the picnic table on the back! We weren't able to fit the wheels because the shite tenzo r wheels that are on it have retared wheel nuts on them. They look like a large torx bit would fit them but 55 is too small and 60 is too big so I must take a trip to the motor factors tomorrow and see can I get something to whip them off with.

Immediate plans:
-Fit the wheels
-Get and fit coilovers, drop it on its fat hole!
-Polish up the headlights as they are looking very yellow
-Get and fit a lip spolier to match the boot to the quarter panels
-Deep dish steering wheel
-Hopefully get a recaro or a bride for it as well.
-I must also fix the front speakers as they are not working at all
-General tidy up

I can't wait to get stuck into something Jap again, the BMW scene was not for me! Pics to follow as it's too dark at the moment.

Sweet, plenty if grunt to knock a bit of crack out of them

There is a fair pull from the rb25. She's a bit sluggish to get going but once the revs climb at all she's off! Not putting any performance parts into this car though, sticking with making it look as cool as possible an a tight budget.

If anyone has any of the bits listed above let me know.

So here she is with the Works LS105 3 piece rims fitted. Had a busy morning sorting out a key for the silly wheels that were on it.




Coilovers are badly needed!


Fitted my razo glitter green gear knob as well for the first jdm interior touch and restored the headlights. Also fitted a square plate on the front. Must order proper pressed plates ASAP. Can't wait until she's scrapping the floor!

Lovely 33, colour and wheels are a good combo. Standard kit with front lip lowered and no boot spoiler and a nice subtle roof spoiler would look cool

Did you get rid of the 15?
