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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
