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:

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

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!

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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
