hey all,

got a question for you all, whats the deal with the word skyline that's embossed on the lower half of the rear of the boot on the r32. how come some models say skyline across it and some models don't? is there a difference? e.g. earlier model, later model? coz im interested in this r32, goes like a dream, but doesn't have the word "skyline" written across the back as usual which is giving me nightmares in my sleep... :O

whats the deal?

ta :O

im not sure about your question boosted, but only factory orginal bars(whether gtr or gts) have the skyline embosed, i think as a factory option you could have a light up panel thing(ask funkymonkey)

If you see on a site for bodykits and it has the skyline embosed, chances are the rear bar there selling is like a spoiler that goes on factory bar, not replaces :cool:

sorry...a bit off topic but.....have you noticed a difference with the R32s and lights

I have seen some with a lil bulb thing in the lights.....and some without

whats the story there?

the ones with the bulbs are the gtr lights and the others arent....or the other way around...

which ever one is better are the gtr lights

thanx for the input boyz...

yeh, i noticed a couple of them had differing lights as well...

to resolve those nightmares ive been having about these little details, i just bought myself an r32 gts-t with it written on the back. :eek1: phew!

i now own a skyline baby~! :burnout:

muahahahahahaaaaa....

:cool:

live in glen waverley/knox, normally around those areas and the nearby

yurself?

should be cruising as of next week, got a few minor things to fix up on the car...

that, and registration and insurance would be handy... hahahaha :cool:

it's burgundy (yeh i know, its a lil boring, but can't be too choosy, not many around for sale), standards mods, e.g. gtr front bar, 3" exhaust, blitz bov, hks filter yada yada yada... but plenty more to come... muahahaha

but yeh, about another week and w00t w00t~!

yeah there was a big thread about this with a comparison a while back...

coco welcome man and enjoy! sounds sweet!

i live in the dingley springvale area... all specs on site... not really much at all

BoOsTeD_RB26,

Example 1 is the earlier model headlights without the round bulb, less weight than later model and is used in R32 N1 race cars.

Not much extra info for example 2 as I personally dont like them much (I have those and my lights are so dimm compare to others :D ), my car originally came with non round bulb lights (89 model) but changed to later headlights after repair.

I want N1 style lights!!! And an N1 RB26DETT to go with the lights! I've got crappy late model GTR lights and an RB20DE to go with it :)

Lol I've got an embossed bar AND a light up Skyline panel on top of that hehe. So when I get another R32 (which is probably what will happen) then I'm jus gonna take the light up panel with me, coz apparently it costs around $300 :D

Is anyone good with neons? I need to chuck one under the light up panel and wire it to the brakes (with an override switch), coz the old one is blown. We need to have a "service day" where we can all meet up n tinker witth our cars.

I do good audio installs, and since I now can get my hands on a tripod, I can take good pics of your car too.

Nark did you get a 3 megapixel IXUS or a 2.1 megapixel IXUS? I gots a 256mb smartcard for the camera hehehe.... I can take squillions of pics now!

/me pulls off his Canon Japan supplied long life battery, the portable charger and the standby stock battery... ahh the joys of working for Canon (other than the 40% discount)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
