Take them out and be done with em, looks better anyway. Just keep em as spares in case cops have a problem with it.

The sides of my front bar have a bit of flex without them in, the flap a little at speed... Also I want something there to protect the oil cooler core, so it doesn't get damaged by the rocks thrown at it by the drivers wheel.

dirt goes every where in the engine bay in the door sills, it gets to a point that it scratches paint when you open doors..

I've seen it on heaps of cars when i roll the guards..

replace them, and add cable ties so they CANT come off.

I wouldn't pull the rear ones off, as they do stop crap getting in the door sill, but the front are fine to clear out. My engine bay is far from filthy and I've had them removed for nearly 3 years. Have driven some dirty ass roads too.

I believe it would happen on other cars, but the R33 Skyline is pretty insulated from crap getting in the engine bay that way. With that front guard lining removed, the worst you'll get is some dust on your intercooler piping and the loom inside the fender.

I just couldn't be fked sorting out castor and all that jazz to stop tyres from slowly burning through the guard linings at deca etc. No more scrubs for me...I don't want no scrubs...

Grant somehow, no guard roll has rub that sounds absolutely horrid on full lock but in like a month and a half has only managed to make the plastic a little bit shiny o.O

My 34 is a mystery thing...

Fuel gauge broken for 3 days and it works fine yesterday and today.

yeh fair enough..

the 200sx was a pain when i took out the fronts for the flare dirt got in every single place you could see..

i ended up putting them back and using a hot knife and carving as much as I could and cable tying it all down.

Lol my old 34 used to do that, sometimes it'd even show that it was full and still show the fuel light. :S

Yo Plattsy,

Those r33 front inner guards you're selling in your FS post, are they the black plastic guard liners in front of the wheel, and the bottom of them extend forward towards the front bar?

If so, want, shredded mine the other weekend while overtaking on the hume, popped out and ground away to nothing on the wheel :P

yep they are. come get em man.

I also had a fun fuel issue with my tank, driving along did 30km after filling up and tank suprisingly empty...

Then a couple minutes later (directly on the way to servo) I see it actually move from E with the light on.. to full in about 1/2 a second right as I drive into the servo.

Drive out, a minute later, on E again.

Give it the "are you serious" stare and it moves between E and F about 5 times in 5 seconds, just waving at me. Hasn't happened since (months ago..)

Stupid troll car

That stuff is usually earthing related. or general connections anyway.

eeeerggghhhh eaten too many jelly lollies. Black & Gold was a bad choice... but so cheap *eats another one*

It's interesting that 33s don't seem to have the same issues(the fuel guage may be inaccurate at times but it still works) considering everything tank side is exactly the same. I wonder if the issue is probably with the guage in the cluster itself?

When it's reading zero you could give it a thump, or wiggle the plugs at the back of the cluster to see if its a connection issue, wouldn't be the first skyline cluster to have issues ;)

Mine reads pretty badly, but its consistently bad so I can still tell what's what... Hitting the "E" means I've used about 35L, lol

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
