hey all,

i was browsing on prestige before looking at the '89 r32 gtst's when i noticed that some of them (being the silver ones) had the normal breaklights but the actual panel that holds the breaklights is black AND, on the back of the boot it has a small badge that says 'skyline' as opposed to the ones that i normally see with the large indented 'skyline'. Still looking at the gtst's i noticed that the other coloured 32's where 'normal' (same colour breaklight panels as the car and indented skyline on the back of the boot). To try and work out if this difference only appeared on the silver skylines, I looked at a silver GTS which was 'normal'.

It seems weird that nissan would only produce differnt breaklight panels for the gtst in one color. can anybody clear this up for me??

thanks. :P

unless you buy a 2 coupe tail light conversion kit which costs about 200 bucks for the rear bumper, $200 for the tail lights and $100 for the coupe bootlid. Plus paint plus shipping :P

4 Doors have...

Raised Skyline badge glued onto the rear bumper

Full glass tail lights that include the reversing lights

Bootlid that has a square corner

Rear bumper that only holds the number plate

2 Doors have...

Engraved style Skyline badge on rear bumper

Plastic tail lights that is only Brake and Indicator (regular skyline style stoveplates)

Bootlid that has a rounded corner

Rear bumper that holds the number plate and 2 reversing lights if you cars from a normal region and 1 reversing light and a 1 red fog light if the car's from a cold region.

thanks guys, so basically the 2 door is a little more upmarket?... are they the only differences between the two?  

And does that go throughout all the 32's from 89 onwards?

wouldnt really call cosmetical differences upmarket. the coupes just have a more sportier look.

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
