I said i would properly introduce myselve and my cars here so here i am
First off,
I am Matthijs Wevers, i live in the Netherlands in Apeldoorn. I have 2 brothers, we are all car freaks we have an own tuning/styling club named cf-tuning (http://www.cf-tuning.nl...My first car started out as an stock Nissan 100nx in grey.... then yellow...then orange...then fluor orange
my car... just for the fun
fluor orange
So then the time came to forfill my dream To get me a Nissan Skyline R33...
this is when i bought it in japan
then the car was shiped by mashamoto from japan to newcastle so me and my brothers got on the boat and whent to get it i'm the oldest one (the other 2 are twins, one drives a honda civic turbo and the other a nissan s14 driftstyle)
fun on the beds haha
my brother had to take a piss lol
the even had a swinning pool...a little one
little bit windy
breakfast
and we had some fun with some uk ladies onboard :cheers:
the first looks at the uk...
then somebody woud come and get us...and there she was....
after some testrides and a first look at the car we went to a shopping center for some fun
damzz... the tank now empty... she liks a drink
another import show on the road
and we had to wait on the boat
carefully the car on the ship..
parking
and after the night back into the car... hello netherlands
...sticker tuning
nos and some shining bits unther the hood also put a greddy blow off on it
screemer pipe...
and to make the bodykit compleet:
fittet a carbon dash kit
and now the bodykit is in the good colour she has a new paintjob...
The skyline runs at 545hp on the wheels now (but it is up for sale becouse i wanna have a r34 gtr now )
Then i needed a daily drive next to the skyline (as the 100nx was sold) so i bought my little brother his Honda civic 1.6 I-SR Turbo (200 hp on wheels )
bigger turbo was bought when evan the little one wasn't put on yet mapping the civic
Next in line is the Suzuki cappuccino , i am bored with the civic so it wil be sold. don't now what the plans are, but it will not be standard but also not as extreem as the 100nx or civic
Well.... that is about it for now...
I will post pictures of the cappu when i am back in the netherlands with it.. it is a dark green one
Greetings, Matthijs aka Axeoth
ps-nice fact... when i got to get the skyline that was in newcastle... tomorrow i will be at the exact same place and boat with a toyota supra (600hp) for a member of my club and the cappuccino lol ^^

for the meters..
you have a specific for cappu like that
but if you take this, you have to find small manometers (in deep) like that
that's what i 've done.
other possibility exists

Steerign wheel i recomend a Nardi Classic 330mm
Ive got purchased the 360mm but i got it cheap thats why i got that size.
Any replacement wheel can be made to fit as there are adaoter rings available to convert from the original Nardi/Raid etc pattern of the Cappo to the pattern on Momos etc.
Drop me a PM if you would like to be added to the ClubCappo Member Map. More details can be found here. We now have an official Facebook group as well as a page! See here

Number 6 Light is H1.......original Part Number..09471-12122 Number 3 Light is H3.......original Part Number..09471-12106
Hope this helps...???
Also , Tilt Steering column up as far as it will go....assuming you haven't done this yet...???.
There are many types of wheels with SAME bolt pattern as Cappo one, which will make it easier to fit without need for adapter.
HA HA HA , Didn't realise pic would come out so BIG and Clear...no need for me to give the numbers....oh well

chriskiejda... that is not my cáppu's inside mate hahaha
i have bought the xenon, tnxs mates ! what site are the meters on ?
i have a small problem i think... one of the bars unther the car (don't now the uk word) is rusted (i gues it is the one that a lot of peaple use to push the car in the air when putting another tire on), so it needs to be replaced... at the dealer the bar itselve will cost me 400 euro... (300 pounds)..
isn't there another option?

any steel bits can be made - speak to a good welder/fabricator - if you mean the sills (run along the length of the car), then Dany at Cappuccino sport says he can get them.
If it's a hidden bit, it's as easy to make one & much cheaper - just cut out the rust / damage & clean the area, then cut a piece of steel to fit (can make a template from card to help), and weld in. Barry's restoration thread is an excellent "How To" guide on this.
ETA - those pics of the ferry take me back - did that route a couple of years ago driving a truck to the artic circle - the crossing was a bit rough (to say the least), and the deck hands wouldn't chain one of the two trucks down - "it looks too flimsy - the chains will break it" - iit'd moved 3 feet across the deck when I came down in the morning! - I'll be taking the cross channel ferries & driving the extra distance in future.

There are also gauge pods that fix to the door pillar I've seen on here somewhere as well.

Not quite sure I understand this one - surely it has to be approved? (and there is no type approved kit for xenons for the cappo to the best of my knowledge) - the standard UK headlights are 'E' marked (although the earlier JDM ones aren't), is that not all that you need?
If you want to fit xenons anyway, then fair play, just not sure why they'd be needed for registration?

as said, could put two under the radio, two on the A-pillar, replace the centre heater vent panel, top of dash mount, replace the radio with gauges (can get adaptors to fit a radio slot) - there's loads of locations. - could also look for combined gauges, so you don't need three?

I'm ~2m tall (mostly legs too!) and I've found the cappo to be not too bad really (compared to other cars - peugeot 106 was the worst I've tried). I got a 300mm Raid wheel from my local motor factors for my project car - there's loads of different styles that will fit on the market.
