17 year old kid with a Skyline R33

Thanks for the support guys!

Alright, so earlier this week, My car pissed oil all over the engine bay and I got a little worried! Luckily it was just a finished PCV valve grommet that caused it so a 5$ new one and all is well! I really would like to get the wrap finished next week to have a car that is one solid color! Went to the local So Clean meet last night and the car was turning a lot more heads than I thought it would, especially being two tone looking half done, and not even being washed!
But here are a couple photos taken of the car last night:



And a beautiful miata I fell in love with!

strongly dislike the wrap color
but work/progress is looking great so far keep it up.

I like your project. But the new wheels and the tinted tails are weak. Keep it OEM or get some classier replica wheels like Rota or Varrstoen etc.

lolwtf

my thoughts exactly.

Nice man! Can't wait to see this progress. And good for you for supporting your own hobby. You have my respect.

As anyone who has worked on a car before knows, things do not always go as planned, and the wrap fell through, would have cost me another 1000$ and only be done mid june, so I made a decision to go forward with plasti-dipping the car. I know not everybody loves plasti-dip, but for the price and the fact that this icar is built to be used, not show I did it,not to mention I can always peel it off. The car is now finished other than coilovers which i continue to try to find at a good price! So low and behold, the finished product, it will not please everybody, but personally I find it bad ass.
Here goes:

Valid point... A project car is never done...but yes the car is up for sale as I'm looking for something to drive all year round. Yup, Canadian weather sucks.

Only 10 posts to the entire site and the car has already gone from look at me I'm a kid with a skyline, to wip, to "finished", and now to for sale? Is that some sort of car ADD record?

Sorry to be off topic but how much do you pay for Skylines and Canada/US?

It is listed for sale, but I am not going to give the car away, I am in no rush to sell!

It is listed for sale for 9200$, most gts-t's float aroun 8k/9k/10k/11k

wtf was wrong with the original paint?

Learn how to detail a car if the paint was messy, shiny oem silver looks way better than what you've got going on here. All you need is time, patience, and less money than you've spent on that wrap andugly plastic dip.

All you've done to the car by dipping it and sticking those wheels on it is changed it from something that would make me smile for the right reason to something that would make me smile for the wrong reason.

Depending on where you are in Canada they can be pretty cheap. You can find R32's for like 3 to 5 grand no problem in Alberta, you can get an R32 GTR for about 7k. Of course they're more expensive if modded a lot. R33's are a bit more expensive, like 8 or 9k average. R34's aren't here till next year but I've seen "landed in Alberta" prices of some RWD ones at about 10-11k.


I don't know much about Skylines the states really. They are apparently very hard to get because of the import laws there. Has to be older than 25 years old so I think they just started getting R32's. Any Americans correct me if I'm wrong.
