RESURECTED FROM THE DEAD: I know this is a old post but through to much research and searching and having no luck I thought id give it a try. 75degrees sideways if your still around (hopefully) ive been chasing down that factory blue for the 31's ive been told it was a rare colour or is a rare colour to find these days I forget. ive heard mixed storys of it being a special optional extra on the ti ive heard others saying it was a optional extra on all 31's. well what im hoping is 1) you can clear this up for me and 2) you can get the name and paint code off the car fr me. I have a younger disabled brother and hes really into cars, he used to love going for drives in my old 31 before it was stolen and destroyed, and theres a local 31 in that colour and hes always looking at it and saying how cool it looks and how he loves the colour. so im building a 31 with him to build confidence and teach him abit about cars and I really wanna respray it in that blue be a real treat for him as the 31's were looking at are either silver brown or white so if I get it and then when hes away for a weekend or at school take it and have it resprayed to be home under a car cover to surprise him. so if anyone can help on the colour and paint code of the blue car posted above it will be highly appreciated

I know this is probably a long shot due to the date this thread was created but did you sell it or have you still got it and if you still got it do you wanna sell it to me

just a update as I had another idea...... if I get the r33 gts and I put the rb25de neo engine from a na r34 in it with the sports auto from the 34 and use the 34 computer or a after market computer and possibly r34 wiring loom for the engine would this all work properly together???? all my objective is is to have a sports automatic gearbox in a r33 as I can put aftermarket steering wheel ect. if this cant be done and work properly im happy to settle with the r34 but I like the 33 body better

yeah it would be getting it running though and i think your correct and trans controller is in the ecu with the 34 but wouldn't a aftermarket ecu and/or remapping solve that issue. im starting to lean towards the 34 ive found 2 bodykits id be happy with and like the interior although am disappointed i cant put my momo steering wheel on as the 34 is airbag steering wheel. also im abit confused on hicas now i understand the 34 has it and some 33's and i know it has somethingto do with the handling/suspention in the rear but what exactly is it what exactly does it do and how does it work??? what are the benefits/disadvantages of hicas (pros & cons)? and what is a hicas lock and hw does it work? is there a way to press a button and have hicas active or non active like a diff lock in a 4wd or is it a once attached a lock its locked take lock off its unlocked

yeah its not I don't like manual its I can only drive it for a short period of time so it wouldn't suit a daily driver. I think im narrowed my decision down to either a r33 gts or r34 25gt. I like the 33 they feel roomy I feel comfortable sitting in one. ive only looked at 34's haven't really sat in one or been on a good drive but from looks wise they seem to be just as roomy as the 33. im starting to lean towards the 34 as the prices have reduced quite a lot in the past 3 years and they are averaging the same cost as a 33 in similar condition. the 34 also being a newer car and the majority of them being lower ks kinda takes a step ahead. I also like the fact of having a sports automatic in the 34 so I can still shift gears myself when I wanna have a bit of fun. wereas the 33 does not have this its just a basic auto. I also like the looks of the interior of the 34 over the 33 its more inviting not just black or grey plastic in your face like the 33. so im leaning towards the 34 gunna go look at a few and have a few test drives of a few different ones to see how they average out in drivability. id still like a 33 and I can have the best of both worlds if the following parts from the 34 are interchangeable into the 33...... 1) sports auto transmission (I don't see a reason it wouldn't bolt up the 33 is rb25de and the 34 rb25de neo) 2) the dash gauge cluster and center console in fact any interior components I can swap over if I can swap the above listed parts from the 34 into the 33 then il be buying the 33 hands down and have the best of both worlds

hi all as you may know from previous posts im looking for my next skyline daily driver. I was almost set on the r33 until test driving a r34 and using its sports auto trans, then it was a all in all again with the 32 falling behind and the 33 and 34 almost matched. so heres a run down of what the car will be..... auto and non turbo pretty simple im on my P's so no turbo and I have a bad left knee so no manual. now heres were im at so far..... r33 I like the exterior id have to say the most of the 3 and don't mind the size isn't enourmus but is still roomy with lots of space, im only a small fella but I like my room and feel the 32 is to confining for me. the 34 cabin size does trail up the rear of the 33 but I feel the 33 has more room of the 2. the 34 exterior is a close match to the 33 and In my opinion the 33 only wins as it has more/better options for aftermarket bodykits wereas I don't like the look of the majority of 34 kits and have only found 1 or 2 I would actually use on my car. the 34 has the better looking interior than the 33 even when customized the 34 wins in this area. also the 34 has a sports auto trans which is a win in my case. so the 32 seems to be straddaling along, I see this to suit more of a track car than daily driver/cruiser think il leave the 32 for until I update my track car from a 31 haha but I still wont count it out yet it may surprise me on inspections and test drives. the 33 and 34 are fairly matched making it a really hard decision.and im starting to grow to the thought of a 34 in my driveway im sure I could find a decent kit and they are questionably newer and lower ks but I still have a place in my heart for the 33 always have always will I was one of the few that welcomed the new design 33 over the basic 32 even though most others shunned it due to its size. 33 and 34 are also very close weight distribution I think 33 is 55/45 split and 34 is 60/40 if I remember correctly. now if I could find a way to fit the interior from the 34 into the 33 mainly dash cluster and console but any other bits that are interchangeable will be a bonus. and if I can bolt the 34 sports auto up to the 33 then I could have the best of both worlds. so being as the 33 is a rb25de and the 34 is a rb25de neo they are practically the same engine and are the same block so I don't see any reason the 34 sports auto wouldn't fit up to the 33 exept maybe clearance wise and making it fit but it should bolt up. correct me if im wrong people. so ive started this thread to gather as much information between the 3 series to help me make the right decicion on my next purchase. I understand that different people have different opinions and mine may be different to others but im asking your opinions on the matter, if you say keep away from 33s there boats that's your opinion doesn't mean I wont get a 33 just means that someone prefers a 32 or 34 over a 33. any pros and cons on the series would be greatly appreciated. ive red the comparison specs posted on here back in 08 and am sure opinions have changed since then. so post up our opinion and what you think of the 3 series, answer any of my questions if you can. I know your input will be great help in determining the right beast for me.

I know this is a old thread but I found it very usefull. im currently in a decision war do I want a r32 r33 or r34 as my new daily driver. I love all 3 and wish to eventually own from the dr30 to the new gtr but have along way to go to get there. I was leaning more towards 33 but now have added 34 to the mix as it has a nicer interior and I want the sports automatic

sweet as cheers guys when it comes to electricals im not einstien lol only doing it to help a mate out coz I know how to pull the 31 lights apart and reseal then perfectly. I put a foot up his arse when im over there on the weekend and get the specs and were he bought the leds from anf get back to ya's

ive drawn up what the design I wanted is and what the design im gunna settle for is on paint on my laptop but cant figure out how to upload them to this post. if someone knows how I can put the pictures up to give you a rough idea of what I was trying to do

oh sorry, I cant find the link atm but il have a proper look tonight and post the link up. so would it be easier to just have the outter ring light up as the taillight and then the inner ring only come on as the brake light? and the original post I wanted both ring to light up as taillights and get brighter when I brake but if that's not possible il have to go a different path so il use the outter light as the taillight and the inner light as the brake light. will I be able to wire both outter and inner lights into the old plug or will the brake light need to be wired seperatly so it only comes on when I apply the brake?

the lights are 39 smd, chip type 1210, voltage dc12v if I cant doit the way I was hoping would it be possible to wire the outter ring as the taillight and inner ring as the brake light? there 2 separate leds with separate wiring so this should be possible am I correct? am I going to be able to wire the leds into the existing taillight loom in the boot by using the original plug on the taillights? were can I buy a micro controller and pwm and how exactly do they work? all were trying to do is convert the standard taillight to leds by changing the internals.

hey guys im helping a friend out with converting there r31 skyline hotplates to leds and was wondering how I would get the lights to come on at a dimmed brightness as taillights and full brightness as brake lights. ive done heaps of research on it as I was going to do this when I had my r31 but am unsure how the led rings would work as taillights when there are only 2 wires off the led? is this already setup in the taillight harness and all il have to do is wire the lights into the existing harness? will I just be able to wire the leds into a plug and plug them into the existing taillight harness? and if I do this will they still work? I have the hotplates and the led rings im going to use already but cant figure out how to make them work as taillights, I spoke to my local auto elec but he didn't understand what I was trying to explain so I hope you guys can. also will I be able to wire both individual led rings into one plug to plug into the existing harness in boot of car? as you can tell I know how to do most of the work but I cant figure out the electrical side with wiring, also can I just use the existing plug on the hotplates and will I need a relay of any sort? hope you can help me figure this out as if it all works out I wanna start doing it as a at home business due to the fact there is no off the shelf aftermarket led taillights. cheers in advance guys

cheers man yours looks nice, yeah didn't really wanna roll gaurds or anything just yet just wanted some 18s I could jst drop straight on coz 17's just don't fill the wheel arch properly lol eah I looked at all the forums on here but it just confused me more coz everyone was running different offsets ect so this will be good for a standard ride hight yeah will I be able to pull off 9.5 for fronts with 10 rears or is 9 the max for fronts wihout mods

hey guys and girls just wondering what rims people have on the r33 and what the biggest size I can go would be without rolling the gaurds or using flares, obviously I wanna run 18 inch rims but am unsure of how wide I can go before I have to roll the gaurds. im after wider wheels on the rear than the front but not to much different that it looks noticibly shit any advice?? I was looking at konig milligram rims 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear or same rim but 18x9.5 front and 18x10 rear would these be fine on the 33 and will they fill the gaurds out nicely?? another thing so you have all details is that the car will be standard ride hight and if I lower it it will only be between 7-12mm or there abouts. also what cmber and caster would be good for this sort of setup. if these rims wont be a good setup for the r33 what do you guys suggest?? post rim brand and size and offset if you could so I can have a idea of what fits and what to look for cheers peeps. EDT: also I want deepdish rear but not front but want the same rim design front and rear is this possible?

cant not buy a car though, and cant drive a n/a skyline without some work on it haha. what would be the best suspension rating for a dodgy rd if I use blistien? so since I have to drive a n/a car for the next 10-11 months and ive made up my mind on getting a r33 skyline il just convert it to a rb25det neo when off my P's or turbo the stock motor so if I do those mods listed now I wont have to do them later down the line
