Is this a strut brace or a swaybar?

It is an official type M V spec gtst R33 strut brace (says skyline on it in Red writing) that bolts on to the wheel arches in the boot of the car.... Does make the body stiffer and can be adjusted to make the back end grip more or slide better...

Regards.....

Just to correct you as not to misslead people.

There is no such thing as a "Type M V Spec GTST". The strut brace you are referring to is factory fitted on most (Perhaps all) R33 GTST Series II's.

:thanks:

Ok... my apologies for all of the anal people out there that cant put two and two together and can not work out what i am getting at in terms of naming nomenclature... Correction: it was from a Type M Series 1 type V (I believe that is the correct way of putting it!) ie: Its from the series 1 model with the factory GTR V Spec rear diff with active LSD, better seats etc. and rear strut bar from factory........., true this item (rear strut bar) could be fitted on all of the 33gtst series II's however i do not believe they are fitted on all of the series I's unless it is the model that i have described above (forgive me if the model listed ie: R33 GTST Series I Type M Type V or similar is not 100% correct in terms of naming nomenclature!) lol ------ its frickin good enough...... i am sure you get the picture..... lol heheheheeee :D

laugh laugh...... cheers for the bump..... still for sale!

I wasn't having a go at you about the order of the words, I think you miss understood what I was getting at.

I just wanted to educate you so you know for next time as you are confusing yourself a bit.

What I was getting at is there is no "Type V, V Spec" or what ever you are trying to call it in the GTST.

Simply put your car is a R33 GTST Series I - If you want to be absolutely politically correct it is a ECR33 GTS25T Series I ;)

As I said, I believe the rear strut brace is a factory feature on all R33 GTST Series II's. Perhaps it was an option on the Series I, however the more likely thing would be it has simply been fitted to your car down the track from a Series II. Either way, that aint really my point..

Even the whole "Spec M/Type M" thing is a bit bull. All R33 GTST models are Type M. It is just people using fancy model names to try and sell their car as something a bit out of the norm when it aint the case. This was a pet hate of mine when I was purchasing my car in 2006 because every one on car sales kept putting different model names up and I had no clue what was what at the time.

The A-LSD was a factory option that was rare because it was expensive, however it did not change the name of the model.

Once again, not having a go at you, just letting you know for next time. It is a common thing on these forums with people miss understanding the model names so I wanted to correct you. Sorry for the long post.

Good luck with the sale.

Once again i state... for all of the anal attentive people.... im sure you know what i mean by the information listed in regards to identifying the model number of skyline it is from and what it would fit.... But thank you very much for getting politically correct....

some photos are listed bellow: should be more than enough to get an idea as to what it is..... $100 ono and it is yours!

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
