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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
