Marmite skyline r33gtst
Discussion
after missing out on it a year ago i got offered it again
Last week so i took the plunge.
To be honest im a bit intimidated by it
Had almost 70k spent on it.
Forged engine, nismo box. And that marmite paintwork
First job is good service, belts etc .
Then to decide if ive got the guts to use it
If so seats and potentially wheels will be changed![](https://thumbsnap.com/sc/yZqDF8xe.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="https://thumbsnap.com/xZp3ZC5a" Target="_blank" rel="nofollow">[img]https://thumbsnap.com/sc/xZp3ZC5a.jpg)

That's great, love these and other Jap performance cars of the era. Definitely interested in seeing some more pic's and info's.
Bodykit and stance look great, I really like the colour but not those side graphics needless to say. Or the Skyline text, that B pillar looks like it wants to turn black again.
The wheels look like Volk Racing split rims to me, certainly very good quality wheels, strong and light. I can see why you might want to change them, at least you'll get good amount for those if you sell. I think they could look better if you refurbed them in a different colour, maybe anthracite spokes or something?
I guess you could dial down the boost for starters, if the power seems a bit much, couldn't hurt the reliablity either.

cool! that looks pretty good, the only bit personally I'm not a fan of are the b pillars. I can't tell from the pics but if the airbrushing is to a high standard I'd be inclined to keep it, its part of the cars character.
Whats the full spec? Interested to hear were that 70k has gone!

I agree. Apart from the occasional weekend drive and odd show with my son it wont get used much.
I dont think my knee could handle the clutch
Spec wise it runs into 4 pages of parts for engine and things associated to it.
Lots of greddy , hks, nismo parts.
G25 turbo
K sport brakes
Paint was 10k apparently and is very good. As much im not a fan of the airbrushing its very good.

That's quite cool, will be interesting to see what RK Tuning think and how it ends up running. If it's only been used a handful of times in the past few years it may need quite a bit of tweaking to get it running reliably. How are the tyres, old and hard or still grippy?
Agree on blacking out the B pillar, think that would look good. Next step for me would be the bonnet, either replace with a carbon look one, or wrap the bonnet black or something. Graphics on the side don't seem too attention-grabbing by comparison.
Not sure on power . Possibly upto 600. But thats not my thing . I never bought it for that.
I actually like the bonnet but get what people say.
After selling my lovely mk1 rs mx5 which i promised my 14yr old son . Ive told him this is going to be his
So im reigning in ideas of big wings etc.
If it stays ill tone it down a bit. As when its running it gets enough attention

Well, at least it isnt dull, the airbrushing isnt to my taste either, the "SKYLINE" on the B pillar caught my eye more than the artwork.
And, does it have a Crazy Frog in the back as well ?
Would love to meet the person who spent 10 grand on the airbrush stuff, be they are an interesting character.
