Guys I am not sure what its called but I am in the procees of getting an r33 S2 which appears to have the front bar with the extra added on underneath (like a 2 part) . Now i am not sure which one this is as I am pretty much a noob at skylines but needless to say my question is regarding the inside wheel arch. there are normally like platic shrouds that go on the inside above the wheels but on this car i dont see any of them on the front but there are rear ones

ie: if you look toward the front of the car thru the wheel arch its empyt and you see right to the front bar...

Now is this normal? (even legal?)

can these be bought and what are their names?

sorry for the dim questions but hopefully you guys can set me straight.

Oh and I am in melb SE

Thanks in advance.

you mean the front splash guards or the guard in the wheel arch? its two pieces.

i would be a little worried (wrong word) if it was the wheel arch guard (its been pretty low), if its just the front slash guard who cares.

most of em dont have them. my 1997 didnt, but the 1996 did. took them out of the 96 for brake cooling purposes.

just make sure the chassis rails are straight and dont have holes in em. and that there isnt black shit sprayed on the under side of the car.

extra bit on the bottom of the front bar is the chin spoiler.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
