Random R33 with an R34 GTR lump in i saw on saturday when i was on the way to pick up Eleanor from the body and paintshop...
Still looked sexy as hell, and i though it was an R33 until i walked over :p

Not a saxo but still pure sex!

Trax here we come :A:


Pedals i was given by a mate going spare as i dont want to fit them

Meshing the grill....

Began by spraying all top 3 bolts of the grill with WD40 to loosen them more than a northern sluts fanny :p and then the two headlight bolts as well


Used molegrips and a wrench/adjustable spanner to undo the 5 bolts around the grill (3 on top, one each side and one in the center then one on top of each headlight)




After un-screwing all bolts i could unclip the grill and carefully remove







Waiting for the rest of the photos to download so i can post part 2...

Red

good updates matey

thought about getting a 106 gti gear knob??

Meshing the grill FINAL PART

After taking until 9pm to remove the induction kit and grill i finally managed to remove both fully to clean them before i took the grill inside to be meshed

Went with some black sports mesh from www.ragingspeed.com
and got a huge cut for £15 as they had some on discount at the time :A:



Removing the clips and screws around the backing of the mesh



Last of the screws undone...


Lifting the old grill out ready for the new mesh of choice




Removed the chevrons by flipping the grill onto its front and pushing all of the clips out in order and then pulling gently and carefully from the front to ease them off...



Decided not to use them for now but decided to keep them so i always have them here for future use


Was up until 11.30pm re-fitting everything so i could drive her to work this morning and i was cream crackered lol

Only pic i have of her as she is now taken today in the rain...


Induction kit now sits right and breathes in cooler air due to a new air feed and im really happy with the meshed grill results :A:

Enjoy!!

Red

put standard grill back in, mesh looks cheap on all mk1s imo

hey bud, yeah though about one a few weeks ago funnily enough
just waiting until the day after Trax when i have the day off and get paid so will buy some more goodies :p

Got enough to do for now with Painting the engine bay and calipers for now

Badges and Side strips have all been smoothed in and colour coded after she was at the body + paintshop all day saturday

Pics up of the results tommorow hopefully when i het the PC out if the weather holds, fingers crossed lol

Your car looks smart!

oh, and that skyline looks more like an R33 to me.

Looking sweet now Red.... Thought the grill would have looked shit meshed tbh... But doesn't look too bad, i think it helps that you've got the sexiest dark colour.

Love the progress fella... although you need to get yourself a decent camera... some of those pictures were crap ;)

So I take it the WD40 help with those bolts den ;)

aprt from mine

Nice progress mate - not keep on the ripspeed seatbelt pad! do i spy a bowl of cornflakes in the fridge - with the spoon still in the bowl lol!

R34 i talked to the fella who owned it ;)

Thought that too, but think it turned out alreet plus i kept the original grill if i ever fancy a change :p

Thanks also mate, hope yours will be making its way to Trax in a few weeks :y:

Got an upgrade to the new Sony ericsson k810i and its not all that tbh still got my old k750i and k800 and the camera on the k800 is better iv decided lol

Obviously bullit ;)

They were a joke and were taken of my old fiesta lol
Set fire to and lobbed at chavs passing by drive-by style who then ran off with them into the night chuffed to bits with the Ripspeed special deal
'Buy nothing get two shite items free'

Had some original black and red leather Citroen pads on her from the start ftw :A:

Fruit and fibre bran flakes actually and thats a fridge in my room for beers lol :hug:
Spoons a touch tho...

Looks nice dude, I was gonna do that to my westie but never got round to it.

That cereal looks disgusting, it's gonna be like mush!:ill:

how very dare you lol, it was nice actually!:A:

Ewww you actually ate it!! I'm Ashamed tbh :P

It wasn't no dedication it was no money! lol

No money no dedication no cereal for you lol

Nice little update :y:

And thats Nissan is DEFFO a Skyline R33

34 trust lol saw the engine and spoke to the owner upon further inspection of the car :p

Mate... thats defo an r33

r33 shell with a r34 engine?

engines are the same for the GTS-T and the GTR from the R33 to R34...

RB25DET and RB26DETT respectively.
Definately and R33, either the owner is telling porkies or Red is :homme:

GT-R - 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 Nm)advertised as 280 Engine, so was an R34 for sure. i dont tell lies lol, but maybe there was some body mods or summat

But didnt ask him any more as i had to go and get my Saxo back ;)...

Anyway back to the point...it was pure sex and i want a gtr in bayside blue :p

how did you fix the mesh??

You should know your skylines fella... That was defo an r33 as the r34 looks so different..... but anyway, get some more pictures of ya car up!!!

Cheeky fook!!

Il get my skyline before you think about getting one... :p
I saw the engine and car so shhh :homme::A:

Lots on the to do list this weekend:

* Calipers being painted tonight and tommorow

* Followed by a whoring session, possibly with Suki if shes game...

* Engine bay components also being painted
and colour coded over the next few days

Pics will be up tommorow afternoon when iv finished most of the work :y:

Red

About time you went to a nice location and took some good pics you lazy arse. :p

R33



R34

r34's are awesome...my uncle deals in jap cars..so i got to sit in one the other week...unfortuantly the thing didnt have an engine at the time so driving it was outa the question!!:n:

spot the difference

Ha ha.... Red's a girl and doesn't know cars ;)

only kidding matey! Give me a shout someone before Trax!

Got some, leaving you all waiting until friday now:A:

Cheers dude but i know the difference between them and as said i saw the engine which was an 34gtr lump, i though it was a 33 at first until i went over...

More than you, name the 10 specs of r34 and the differences between them?

Also done most of the work myself apart from body/paint work :A:
Plus my cars running well and will be prepped and ready for Trax eg not breaking down like yours of having to go 50 mph all the way there

P'owned

lol oj will do if you still need a hand fella???
Fiesta should be sold tonight finally so cams re-map and performance here we come ;)

How rude......

I've got Friday off so i'll pop down to yours if ya want...

For your information i do know a few skyline specs.....

This is what i know ;)

The GT-R came with the LCD screen in the centre of the dashboard

The GT-R V-Spec added two extra features to the display, the first being a measurement of lateral g-forces, and the second being a lap timer.

The GT-R M-spec Nür and GT-R V-spec II Nür had softer suspension, and a leather interior.

The R34 GT-R N1 did not have ABS, Air-Con, audio equipment, rear wiper, or carpet in the boot. Of course the lovely N1 engine was added :y:

The V-Spec II GT-R model has increased stiffness in the suspension and a lovely carbon bonnet!

The Nismo R34 Z-Tune was bored out, with a new crankshaft for a longer stroke and had a 2.8l engine, producing around 600bhp! oh and a believe it had a supercharger! Although

The Nismo R34 Z2 had all of the above but had simular body styling to that of the Nismo GT500, so engine bay vents on the bonnet and wheel arches. Also had bigger arches to take some bigger orgasmic wheels!!

Oh and both Z-Tunes are also completly hand made! so very pricey!

Oh and did you know that Veilside, in Japan, have modified an R34 Skyline GT-R to 1200 bhp. They have also modified an R32 Skyline GT-R to accelerate to 300 km/h in 13 seconds!!!

WTF!!!






Ok thats enough thread spamming.. ;)

Spam spamming spam-loving spammer!

Theres a 2500bhp viper in the States across the pond :panic:
and skylines which have been modded well past that even a 1/4 mile r33 that does it in 7 seconds!!!

You missed out one or two specs and got some of the details wrong there but il let you off, we'll just say im right and leave it there lol...nuff' said

Pop down friday matey and ask your daddy about draining and changing gearbox oil for me? Bring some torx tools to remove the rocker covers for me aswell dude and il look at your car for you.

Il do your calipers for free also if you want aswell
Taking favours on the side as additional payment :p

Looks very nice dude! great car.

Thanks for the comment matey, yours looks lush as well :)

Here comes the Trax progress and new pics taken a few days ago with my new camera
