Default My New Toy

As of this friday if all goes well with the roadworthy i will be the owner of this R33 GTS-T Skyline : , its pretty much standard other than 3" system with twin cannons, Apexi SAFC-II, Rims, Front Bar, strut brace and Stereo.

planned for the not so distance future is: :
front mount cooler
pod filter
bov
19" deep dish rims
coilover suspension
stealth wing
install the stereo from the ef.

so the ef is now well and truely up for sale

Cant believe you're selling the EF for a Skyline! Will be sad to see the EF go but I'm happy you got what you've wanted!

Will be nice seeing a skyline cruising around playing some heavy metal and no tekkers, thats for sure.

Nice car, but don't get too confident with the legality. The Police can still go you for the Pod, FMIC or BOV. They can even send you for a trip down to the EPA just for kicks.

If an EF and a Skyline both race off in front of the Police, guess which one the copper is going to go after?

Keep a low profile and you'll have a ball with it.

R33's are a huge Clit0ris car.... Every C**t has one. That said, Theyre quick. But your EF was so much nicer than an R33 could be....

lol maybe 1st and a bit of 2nd, my xr6 with 5spd, 3.45LSD, extractors + exhaust just keeps up with my mates R33's when there on stock boost, but once its boosted even slightly : to me.

Love the sound of the RB25's im sure you will enjoy the car. Dump the BOV though and just get a POD and FMIC its one less thing to worry about getting defected for and you get the flutter :eclipsee_

Exactly, that one is close to the GT-R one. It's gotta have a spoiler due the rear guard height as u mentioned. I kno the one you mean..

Good buy. Anyone who has driven these cars will know why you got one (The downside is you are now associated with all the d*ckheads out there driving them)

My brother has one almost exactly the same as yours. I’ve lined up against it on a few occasions and the end result always depresses me.

Had that happen to me, I was in the R33 GTS-t, lined up agaisnt my mates XCOP EF, and YES I got dicked instead of the EF (Illegal drag racing, thank God the Copper didn't go over the car)

None the less nice car (94-95 R33 GTS-T right?) DUMTEF!!.
Take care with these things in terms of the mods you do and how (no shortcuts).
