hey everyone im about to buy a new car and i've decided i would love a skyline. Sadly im only on my p's so i wont be able to have a turbo which i will have to live with but i would like to know a few things about the non-turbo version if anyone can give me a hand, im after general fuel costs, any issues with this model car and any other facts that might help me out it would be much apreciated. Im looking to spend some time modifying the aesthetics and anything i can that wont change the performance and cause defects, just for the record im not a hoon nor do i intend on thrashing it i am just a starting enthusiest and just want to crusie in a nice car.

My R34 GT is getting about 400km on a tank, costing $70 a tank. Im guessing an R33 will be the same, seeing as most the parts they use are the same and compatible with eachother.
R33's dont look that great stock in my opinion, just the roundness on em, but there are decent body kits out there that make em look awesome im not gonna lie.

Wings with R33's suck (from the choices ive seen) unless you get a track wing, but thats why i prefer the R34's look meaner.

Mods you can do without defects:

3" cannon exhaust i believe is the biggest you can go its just under 94db which is legal.
Pod filter, as long as it is secured down, i wouldnt put one in because its just gonna suck warm air in, but if you do, mount it in the actual airbox so you get cool airflow from the front.

You can do other things obviously but they are the most popular, also 18" rims are best to start at, cheap tyres that size.

I havent messed with suspension, can be expensive, if your just gonna get lowered springs then that will be worth it seeing as its just for aesthetics.

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
