My car is R33 S1, but then I need a rear garnish to replace the crack one.

I found an S2 garnish...but I wonder whether it is the same size as S1 or would it fit?

Personally I like the middle part between the two rear lights being flat smooth though.....instead of plastic black.

Or if it doesn't fit, has anyone try painting the black rear garnish with the same colour as your car?

Or do you think it is possible to get a sheet of stainless steel or whatever flat metal thing to cover that and spray it with paint?

any good idea?

else......I will just get a used S1 garnish...and consider putting it back.

They are the same size.

Personally i like the colour-coded Series 2 garnishes. I want my SKYLINE letters to glow, so i've bought a S1 one, and going to mask letters, etc and paint it white.

OMG I forgot to say, it is sedan.....

How do you mask the letters. Any one here can help :whistling:

I got this quote from an old thread;

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Mo...hl=rear+garnish

hence your rear garnish is clear , maybe paint it and leave the word skyline clear , and pop some LED's behind there for each letter or so , and run it off the connection of one of you lights . as you would when hooking up an electronic boost controller , that way the lights only turn on when you turn your parkers or headlights on.

I got a clear garnish and the question is how do you paint the rear garnish and keep the skyline word clear. That's a very hard thing to do. I can't even make the skyline word straight from masking tape. How does anyone do it? Please help here :D

I havent done mine yet, but i did my brake calipers with masking tape and a sharp knife. The garnish should be the same, because the letters are raised. mask the letters, and use a sharp stanley/surgical knife to trim masking tape.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
