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.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
