im proud of my blue and white badges!!!!!!!!!!

That's it.... I really have a lot of respect for people that are proud of their rides the way it was built - for what it is .... for e.g. , I drive a R33 GTS-Turbo - I have mates they have put GT-R badges on trying to be GT-R's .... silly!!! I love my car for what it is... a Skyline is a Skyline... e.g. if your ride is NA - it's a super nice NA car... a Skyline all the same.... no need to put a GT-Turbo badges if it's not a turbo... however, if you bought it this way then that's a different story...

But, if someone sees it and says... is it turbo - you say no, then they ask why do you have Red & White GT badges... this just makes you look silly... just my 2 cents.

respect is earnt, not given. you need to get your facts straight; there is no designation for red/white and blue/white badges for r33s.

r33 turbo models have red/white shields only.

r33 non-turbo (non type-s) have blue/white shields.

r33 non-turbo (type-s) have red/white sheilds.

some r32s have plain metal sheilds ones, some with red/white sheilds

not entirely sure on the r34s, there's so many variants ranging from GT-X, GT-4, GT-T, GT-25, etc.

i was under the impression that red/white meant turbo and blue/white meant n/a, well at least thats what every skyline i have seen to date has.

And for the record my R34 GT-four has blue/white gt badge :D

Well when i first gought my gts skyline with it was kitted and had the red/white shields on it, so i not really sure, but from what i know i thought red/white was turbo n blue/white was N/A however, i have seen a few different cars which prove this theroy wrong, does anybody know for sure??

My Front cut is in quarintine, and i should be recieving a call either today or tomorrow to organise the car to go in!

  • 2 weeks later...

Okay mechanic has said there "was a delay in customs, so it won't take too much longer"

Ahh i wanted the car ready to take to powercruise 10 but meh, we'll see...hame

yeaha i know it been off the road over 2 months now, i am being as patient as possible, i'm dirving around the g/s's cousins little auto exel atm and its really startin to hurt me! lol (no offence to exel drivers) but i can't stand driving it around all the time although i appreciate having a run about for a month, just can't wait to get the skyline back n running!

i'd say that when the person put the kit on your car they might of changed the badges aswell??

my bros gts has red/white but thats only there because a day before he was meant to pick the car from the dealer someone stole his badges haha, so the dealer replaced them with turbo items...

Just thought i would add my 2 cents on this.... my R33 GTS25 has red/white badges and no it's not because some tryhard put them on there, it's the way it came outa the factory, that guy further up the page who said about the type s= red/white and non type s=blue and white is onto it. i was trying to find out what the type s thing ment but then read earlier pages and the answer was there which seems to be true to my car so....

Have fun cutting away at your Tommy Kaira front bar to fit the FMIC in :)

and modifing the indicator mounting bracket (and cut away and plastic weld some of the back of the indicator that is not seen in my case)

good luck.

Yeah it'll be a bit of a job to get it in, but will look great once in and should be a tight fit i think! Have you seen many FMIC in the same front bar as i have? if anyone has any pics it would be good if you can post them:

UPDATE: tried contacting mechanic on 7th sept he wanted it in on the w/e to start, contacted sat n sun but hopefully today

(monday 10th it'll be going in) Hame :(

Ok guys, just got off the phone to the mechanic and all seems to be going ahead, he wants the car down there first thing tomorrow morning, so i have called around a few towing companies to find a guy in shailer park, price is $70? is that good, anyhow i really happy all is going ahead so car should be on the truck at 9:30am so the adventure is just about to begin. Will be seeing th front cut tomorro.

Hame :(

i seen a nissan pulsar cruising around my area with red and white skyline shields on, now that is wrong! :(

p.s. love the colour, would love to paint mine the new VE commodore purple

With modification it fits fine, I can post a couple pics of my car when I get time (same front but fitted with a FMIC).

nice... who's doing the work for you? (PM if you don't want to name the workshop)

$70? depends on the distance travelled of course!

Fighter JOE - yes please i'd love to see some pics of the fmic fitted into the front bar, see how mine may look.

Pal - yeaha i know someone who is painting a r33 the new VE pueple let me know if you want to see pics when it is all done! should look a treat!

Eug - i won't name the workshop just yet without permission, and as for the towing i was quoted 170, 160, 110, 75 (but that was for wednesday) n i want it done today rang one more guy who said 70 9:30am today so he should be here in 20 minz. (pm sent)

Hame!

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
