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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
