Hi all,

I have finally purchased a car I have wanted for a few years: R33 Skyline!!

Its an R33 GTS-t Type M Series 1. It has the type M body kit with the factory optioned GTR wing, I think they are GTR skirts?? I am not sure. The car has the following mods: Nismo sports suspension, Nismo fuel regulator, GTR fuel pump, Apexi pod filter, HKS SS B.O.V(not fitted), Turbo back Trust pwr evo II exhaust,

Greddy turbo timer. Japanese 17" rims, Tinted windows, Suspected heavy duty clutch. HKS start button.

I havent got the car yet but I have already purchased for it Nismo clear side indicators and a Nismo grill. The car needs the front bar repaired/resprayed as well but its not that big a deal as my girlfriends brother is a very good panel beater/spray painter, I think we are going to re-spray the front/back bumpers and the side skirts. The wheels have a few gutter scratchers so I will get them repaired. I am very pleased with it. I have some photos but the car is dirty so they arent to good. I just have to learn how to drive it good and how it reacts different circumstances, wet weather, etc. Can anyone tell me how to clean the headlights good to get rid of that murky look or do I need to buy new ones?

Hope you guys like.

Cheers.

Dazz.

no need to replace the front lights

i'm not completely sure what product it was but some guys on a SAU cruise in the ACT were using some meguiars stuff for the headlights. may have been the window washing stuff, worked wonders - made the light completely clear and new-looking again.

just had a look, i think it was the meguiars no smear glass cleaner. i use the stuff on the windows and works wonders, give it a try

Thanks 95GTST, I was thinking of going to the Casterton drags but I am not sure yet, see how the weekend unfolds. I will definately be taking the car to the drags, we have an 1/8 mile in Warrnambool but I would rather go over the proper 1/4 to get a proper time.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
