R33 "Practical daily"

[Traditional]

So I've been wanting to make this post for a while now, though don't know if it really belongs here.

Long story short, I gave up on cars, and now i'm back...

Car history,
Holden VX Calais
- Nissan Silvia S15 - Spent too much time and money on it
- Toyota Cressida
- Nissan SIlvia S13 - Bought to play with but ended up selling
- Toyota Surf
- BMW E39 M5
- Nissan Silvia S13
- Toyota Landcruiser VDJ76
- Honda Civic ED - Sedan

I got bored of not having anything "fun" (to waste money on) so I decided to buy an R33 Sedan

The last owner decided she wanted to go to war with a moped and dented both front and rear drivers doors (luckily she had replacements for me)

It was very underwhelming:



Had a boat load (lol) of issues:
- Cracked Windshield
- Reverse not working
- Busted PS pump
- Looked like shit
- S1... So shit...
- 320,000kms
- Automatic
- idled like shit
- stalled constantly

What It had:
- S2 tail lights (that i've since sold)
- Running engine

What I've done so far
- Replace 2 doors
- Replace Windshield
- Fix random engine issues
- S2 Front end
- S2 Rear Garnish and Matching Lights
- Coilovers BC/BR
- Genuine M Spec Skirts

It still looks shit, but it's getting there..




Picked up my TE37s,

17x9.5+12 front
18x9.5+12 rear

I think i'm going to eventually get a pair of 18x9.5+22 for the rear to pull some of the camber out, and put the +12s on front, but it looks ok for now.

Besides it's only running 7psi through a slush box so i don't really need traction lol..


Anyway, finally looking less like a piece of shit.







Need to do a few things: Tuck exhaust, Replace plastic under-tray

But at the end of the day it's no GT-R.

End car is to have a semi-half-reliable fun daily that's not too high but not too low...

Looks Good!

Haha the car didn't even have a wiper arm when I got it :P

Was easier to buy an arm then remove the motor and buy a plug.

cleaned up pretty well! looks way better from the rear for sure, I'm not sure what to think about the front.. Only thing I would add for sure are rain guard/window visors, but that's only an opinion. keep up the good work, n 4 more.

Yeah rain guard/wind visors (whatever they're called) are on my list, but paint and manual conversion are high priority
