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.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
