Hi all,

I have been looking at a few series 2 gtst's and I got a question. I have been to Kamikaze, GTAUTOs and SSV (all vic dealerships), and I have noticed that some skylines have a strut bar in the boot, and others dont. Are all skylines supposed to come with a strut bar in the boot or is it just an option that Nissan in Japan offers?

Bit about me I guess, I was (still am) a Toyota Supra fan, test drove a couple of NA supras, then test drove turbo skylines, and now Im hooked on the turbos! Though, I expect later on I will be looking at twinturbo supras when I get more money.

Anyway - if anyone could answer my question (first paragraph), I would be really grateful!

Thanx guys/gals!

Matt

Not all are meant to have it..I beleive it was a factory option

Hi guys,

Thanks for the quick reply - also is it necessary to have gauges that tell the temperature and boost and so on? Obviously that would help determine if there was anything wrong with the car - but do you all think its a good idea?

Matt

If you're going to be changing the boost at all, I'd highly recommend getting an aftermarket boost gauge. As far as gauges go, that's the only one you really need.

Supra fan gone Skyline ey. Same here. Couldn't afford the TT, didn't want the N/A so I grabbed the next best thing :D

hehe - thats right dee33 - I was looking for a N/A supra for a long long time, couldnt get the new shape (i.e the 96 update), then test drove the skyline r33 s2, and man, i came out of that with a smile, and a few white hairs.....scared the crap out of me due to the power, but drove very smooth. And I saw the car that Wayne from GTAuto drives, looks bloody sick - So Im going for a skyline for now, then later on, when i get money, gonna get a decent supra.

Btw - if anyone is new to the import scene, id suggest talking to Wayne and GTAutos in croydon - he went through pretty much everything with me, spent an hour, showed me a couple of cars - test drove them, then spent an hour again when me and my bro went back - totally awesome - now thats service for ya.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
