  1. With plasti dip it can stay on the car. Real easy stuff to use. But its glued down and has 2 bolts holding it on if you do want to remove it.
  2. Grab a can of plasti dip spray it up and see what its like. You dont like it peel it back off and hey presto saved a few quid.
  3. Just hit join there myself. I know of a handful of owners here but not many
  4. Nope they werent refurbished at all. Just a good find from a decent enthusiast Oh hi there michael The rays really do set off a 350, but they just werent dark enough for me and I couldn't bring myself to paint a set in such good condition.
  5. cool, pm me a price when you get the postage

    The R33

    Sorry mate but that's tosh . R33 runs .6 bar if you remove the two stage it runs .6 all the time rather than the .4 bar initially it doesn't increase the boost, the wheels break much below 1.2 the series one r33 only has ceramic exhaust wheels the series two and r34 run ceramic exhaust and fibre intake wheels and are more fragile .8-.85 is the safe limit for both but they can cope with spikes up to 1bar. It's the speed that kills them not heat. Rods and crank in the rb25 can run 500hp it's the pistons that are the weak point , I ran 1.45 plus 50hp of gas in mine around 475hp, all stock, car ran mid twelves and was tracked as well. hahahaha its 0.5 stage 1 then 0.7 stage 2 boost. then remove the solinoid and it will go to 0.75/0.8 depending on intake temps etc.. yeah yeah we can go back and forth my car this your car that, we can all go read wiki etc too, but from being around skylines the past 10 years and owning and modding them from complete stock i think its safe to say its one car i know inside out. BTW mid 12's at 475 isnt something id be bragging about, sure i done 13.2 with 280bhp then at 350bhp i managed 12.4 never ran it after that on timing gear, but was tracked at 431 on the stock rb25 before i swapped it out and build a 500bhp rb26 in it.... but i suppose thats tosh too lol anyways OP im liking the sticker over the pipe, car is clean fair play.

    stock tubby doesnt max at 0.8 its 1.15 like i said, 0.8 is what it runs with the 2 stage boost removed. yes the ceramic exhaust wheel shatters at 1.2 bar due to heat, the rest about the rebuild and when it runs out are spot on though, but at 1.4 bar with supporting mods youd be near the max of the bottom end anyway, poncams would keep the low to mid that is usually lost, or being a 33 gtst a 34 gtr exhaust cam and cas with a little fettling would be a nice upgrade too

    with the size of the stock turbo on a gtst it spools quick anyway, its not like your waiting on 2 bar of boost to build. it maxes at 1.15 otherwise it will pop so a large front mount isnt going to be a issue, is anything it just saves having to change a second time when upgrading the turbo. at which point youd have enough to be changing to make the best use of it.

    nice looking car, i do prefer the sound of a v6 though, and that japspeed on a straight six is fairly annoying, best i found was a blitz nur spec, gives it a nice deep throaty sound. then again mine was slightly tinkered with lol fuel pump is a piece of **** to change but as said make sure youve little to no petrol left when doing it as its sat in the bottom of the tank, the black plastic ring that gives access to the tank is a bitch to get on and off too.
  10. just done 315miles and have just over a quarter left, but the average mpg on the digital reads 30mpg i reset it before i left
  11. cant wait to see the fit of this, really considering changing my whole plan of simple for that bumper
  12. just highlighted a few other options to those answers lol
  13. pub numbers are useless when it hits the track
  14. ill be honest, i bought mine for a box to be ticked, but i fell in love with the drive ability of it and well... now its part of the collection

    Plasti dip...

    **** easy to use, and just as easy to take back off. the finish is an acquired taste, i done the center of the lip on mine and took it back off 2 weeks later... i still have the badges done in it though, but thats only until i buy the black ones
  16. sweet... do you have the belts there too?? and i also need new plugs.... how much for the lot posted to ireland for me mate?
  17. ive mine on now and not happy with the drive, but my geo was way out before and now it feels even worse, but thats mainly down to me holding off till i get new wheels to get it done lol... and new wheels will be ordered when the rubber is gone thats on the stock wheels, so fairly soon id say now
  18. Wish I could afford to drift on 19's man. 285's in 18's are expensive enough lol they dont come in 19s though
  19. great kit mate, installed it within 5 mins of it coming in the door. that little tool thing came in handy too,
  20. they dont all weigh less or last longer and when buying cheap they will always sell cheap so value for money IMO, and when they are replicas how do they look any different? xxr have a work emotion replica which i actually think look better than the real deal too which is the wheel im strongly considering.... works wheels xxr wheel
  21. just fitted 25mm spacers all round beefin up teh looks of the fat lady yum yum fat bum
