you were up all night installing something on the white beast


From a picture I was sent late last night it appears that one of the things that she has installed will soon be stolen and installed into a certain R33 :lol:


will it make it a little less of a Fail? :P


No, but it will make it that little more JDM :)

I still haven't gotten around to the photos but have installed new gear shift boot, steering wheel as the other was falling apart, brushed vent rings and the BD bar.

Waiting for my pay pal to transfer some $$ then there will be some awesome mods!

Other things that need dealing with is a head unit and a crap load of wiring, centre console looks like it was once half pink, so i'll have to deal with that, fair bit of servicing and then I'll be looking for new rims and a hardtop =)

Super Exciting

Dodgy day perhaps..? =P

I've done all my research and Dad and I will tackle the timing belt in the new year, thats probably the biggest worry I have with the car, its done 138,000km and I have no service history. Everything we've pulled apart so far is fine, but never know when there could be a nasty surprise.
SOooooOOOOoooo I"ll get around to that hopefully before Wrest Point.

I'm not sure of the layout of the BP engine, but I know on the RB30 and RB25 I have owned it is worth looking at the pulleys, tensioners, cam seals and water pump while it's all apart when you go to do the timing belt.

I changed the timing belt twice in one weekend due to two dodgey water pumps :lol:
