the word: skyline on r32

[coco69]

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...

whats the deal?

aftermarket bar? or perhaps a copy of one

[coco69]

ah... could be could be...

so you mean, all original rears have the word printed across it?

[BoOsTeD_RB26]

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?

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

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

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!

[coco69]

yeh exactly the pictures posted by boosted...

the first example has the "crosseyed" look~! eeEee

go the funky round bulby thing in example 2!

[inark]

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 ), my car originally came with non round bulb lights (89 model) but changed to later headlights after repair.

[funkymonkey]

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

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!
