Hi all,
So I bought this car in July of 2012. During that time until now I have done couple of bits and pieces to my car, all the while taking pictures when possible.
As my confidence in my mechanical and DIY skills has grown, so has the lack of need to take my car to my nearest garage every time I need something done. Attempting stuff on my own, I get to take pics and best of all I get to learn a hell of a lot.
My collection of tools are slowly growing and my spec list and "nice to have's" are growing also
These are a collection of pictures which I have taken over the last few months during various works carried out...nothing too major yet.
So, without rambling on too much...this what the spec as advertised from Harlow Jap:
http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/183985-my-new-r33-gtr.html
I got a bit carried away taking pics when I first picked up the car :chuckle:
Was a bit wierd to be looking out the window to see two R33's....the white gtst was up for sale and got sold about 1 month after I bought the GTR:
Outside Ron's place when I took it there to sort out a few issues:
PFC Unstable Idle
Fitting a new front number plate
New battery
Boost pipe loose
Decided to raise my BC Coilovers a little bit as the car was way too low for London roads:
At some point, I need to replace the rusting rear upper arms:
Resealed the passenger side tail lights as it was letting in a serious amount of water!
Neighbor's kids keeping me company sometimes and always with lots of questions :chuckle:
Couple of underside shots while at Ron's getting new CV boots done:
New Toyo T1R 275/35 R18 tyres for the rear :clap:
New standard sized brake discs for the rear:
New Japspeed Silenced Decat for the Blitz Nur Spec R:
Ace Cafe Meet:
Decided to swap my Blitz exhaust with an Invidia RSR system from another user on the forum:
A sunny day :chuckle: :GrowUp:
Strut tops starting to bubble!
New LEDs and D1-spec quick release fitted with a Mountney 350mm wheel:
Some parts arrived for my timing belt/rad/water pump change
opcorn:
Japspeed rad
Teng 420NM Torque Wrench
N1 Water Pump from USA
