Yeah talking about the ones on the rear bumper… these ones are easy to get from top secret. The rear bumper ones are impossible. A friend of mine was selling his for 3500 aud. shocked no one replicates them.

Sorry I'm late to this, but if you're still looking or for others who happen upon this, pretty sure these are what you're(and I'm) after.....

I'm personally interested in the Muse set, as they are also made out of ABS instead of fibreglass.

Hi Luke. Yeah I actually ordered a set of muse ones from highintakeperformance. They are delivering them to me this weekend after 3 months. I think they are replicas of the nismo ones in a different material if I am not mistaken.

According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same.

Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.

 

Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.

According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly.

The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM PUR-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs PURs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.

--edit-- Bloody talking bullshit. TPU wasn't a thing back then. I've been afflicted by 3D-printing-itis.  I mean PUR. PUR-RIM is Polyurethane- Reaction Injection Moulding, which was all the range back then.

Will do. Car just came out of the shop so will wait 3 weeks to go to the body shop. Still working on my motor.

Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol.

What did the rear look like before repaint from the "rich idle"?

That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?

lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.

No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain.

Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
