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.

      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

      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
