LarZ' Black R33

The stickers are painful to get off... all individual letters. I was out with the heat gun for about an hour yesterday evening and only managed to get 3 complete stickers off Gonna be a long process.

Get yourself a pinstripe wheel (aka Caramel Wheel). They should take the stickers right off. Search for one on eBay

Loads of tar remover let it sit for 15 min and they will nearly fall off!

cheers lads. Will try the tar remover too. Wouldn't mind trying out one of those caramel wheels either though

I was going to buy this a couple of times when it was up for sale but never pulled the trigger. Best of luck with it. I really like r33's

Small update on this. Sourced some bits and starting to tweak the car to be more my style. I removed the rear wiper blank, re-instated the rear wiper motor. Must tidy up the wiper arm before i fit that again. Also got an oem antenna assembly as there was a rotten antenna from some other vehicle hatcheted in there. I'm trying to pick up original trim pieces just to make the car more complete. Although it's in decent condition, it has suffered neglect in some areas.



I removed the silly wattage meter that was in the dash and just threw in a cheapo cup holder thing.



I got wind deflectors but don't like the colour of them... might leave them off. not sure really.



The stickers were a BALLS to take off, but it's twice the car now:



Again, because i'm contrary, i didn't really see the big deal about the buddyclub p1s. They look good, don't get me wrong, but there are better options out there for me i think. That could just be my obsession with dish though. As you may have seen in my ps13 'build' thread, i had to swap the wheels on the two cars and surprisingly enough, the vienna kreis look very at home on the skyline, albeit my retarded tyre size choice (205/40/17) looks horrendous. I reckon 205/45/17 will sort out the fitment a bit. Here are some pics:





Next port of call is to take off the skirts and spats. The spats aren't that bad but the skirts are poorly fitted, poorly painted and just don't do anything for the car other than make it look lower. A car like this can't pull off the skirted look unless it has a bigger front bumper. Finding a spec 2 lip is pretty difficult too. It's going to look like a very high car... because it is... I don't know if i can justify the price on coilovers on this car either right now.

I admire the attention to detail in getting the covers for the seat rail bolts. It has improved a lot since you got it. Needs lowering in some form tho. Would springs do much for it? Be cheaper than the coilover route but leave it sitting better.
