My R32 GT-R got a respray here in the US to bring it back to looking factory fresh but in the process the painters accidentally stripped off the top layer of the factory tire placard on my B-pillar so I've got a white area there now that sticks out like a sore thumb. I tried ordering one from Japan with the part number but I've been told they're no longer available. I thought I saw some people here who managed to get one from there in Australia so I was hoping for some help tracking one down. Anyone have one they can sell to me or know a place that does?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks but I saw that thread before and that's where I got the part number 99090-05U15 from. Unfortunately I already tried both Amayama and JPcarparts with the part number and they said it's discontinued. Since a couple of people there mentioned getting them recently I was wondering if there was a shop in Oz that had them.

Here today and gone tomorrow.........

This is happening to a lot of R32 parts.

In 5 years time the parts will be near impossible to get.

Watch the values of both good cars and parts skyrocket then.

Get someone to print it for you? Maybe get 10 made and sell the other 9?

I've thought of that as a back-up plan but of course I thought I'd try and exhaust all possibilities at finding an original replacement first. I figure I can just make one with sticker paper and my Epson photo printer that has weatherproof DuraBrite ink but it would help to have a good scan. I got a pic from a friend's car that I can Photoshop but a scan would be better so if anyone knows where I can find one that would help me out too.

That's the big reason why I'm spending the money to restore my Nismo R32 now. It's going to be harder and harder to get parts for these cars especially with the American market snapping them up.

That's just insane but I've thought about picking up the Snap-On tool kit for my R35 for future collectors value as well - the dang thing is just so stupidly overpriced I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I may have to do it sooner rather than later after seeing that eBay auction lol.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
