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...

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.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
