Skyline R33 Spec2

Thanks mate!

I have the proper laquer for lights. I'll check when home

Thinking of getting my steering wheel re-trimmed also, potentially.

Seen this online (theirs are quite faded looking) but don’t think it’s for me the more I look at it. Think I’d like mine just redone in plain oem style leather or similar with potential improvements? Ideas? Where do you guys recommend?

Cheers
Joe

Have seen these guys recommended quite a few times on other forums. Maybe worth a look?

Royal Steering Wheels | Exclusive look, unique feeling

Just looking at their website actually, I remembered about this company after I posted the above. Looking at their gallery of Nissan steering wheels they all look too modern to me to suit the car properly

Il look more

Royal Steering Wheels above. They've done a couple for me and they've been fantastic. Have had one done through Arek as well if you want somewhere local.

Is he not a liability according to @slickcell ?

Arek? In my opinion….avoid. He might be ok if just trimming a steering wheel though.

Still….bound to be better options available

 

[svensktoppen]

He's done good work for me.

That's the Honda wheel he did for me, nothing wrong with that and has been absolutely fine. It's a custom style too.

Have had a couple of other wheels done by Royal as well and they're top notch.

Just options.

Had my wheel done by royal also.

Added alcantara to the oem wheel and it just added a nice touch

Although I’m fighting the daily urge to put on a quick release and a grip royal/nardi lol

 

[ossy2004]

Sourced some oem spec stickers for the r33, will finish off the nice new paint when complete.

 

[ossy2004]

Hoping to get some nice photos of the car when complete and have a few framed pictures on the wall in the garage of the build and it finished.

I have gave the garage walls a fresh coat of paint and new floor etc for the big lady coming home, so the pictures will finish it off nicely.

who all is recommended for photos?

@Reinis is the main man I assume? Who else is there available?

Thanks
Joe

@Reno_LV is the man you need and your car deserves

Proof

 

[Reno_LV]

Thank you for the kind words! This is an ocd build so please never sell this car!

 

[ossy2004]

I have kina jokingly promised my kids it (more my petrol head daughter)

 

[c_rad]

@Reno_LV Is the only man to photograph your motor.

Wish I'd never sold the ISF.

 

[ossy2004]

Yea that photo and car was next level, always loved it

 

[big_pete]

@Reno_LV is the only man for the job

 

[ossy2004]

Simply incredible

When OCD takes over…. Trying out my new expensive laser toy to bring the underside back to bear metal to clear away all old dirt, underseal and any surface rust leaving a clean metal finish ready for fresh paint & QM1 coloured underseal

Will be great once it’s finished

Progress shot

 

[Blackie]

Class Joe!! Just class!!

 

[ossy2004]

Not bad for an hours work or so once started, both sides done… finished to perfect flat metal.

Little run over it to finish here & there but it’s so awesome using this laser machine

What laser machine is that? I'm having to do with with a grinder and knotted wire wheel at the moment and it's a b*llox

 

[ossy2004]

Sorry for the late response been busy dealing with family illness etc

Pulse laser cleaning machine, extensive bit of kit but plan to start a side business with it.

Will be used to clean up smoke damage, graffiti, strip metal & wood from paint/oil/grease etc and many other uses.
