personally i reckon gtr kits are nice, so whats the matter with it being on a non-gtr? as long as theres no gtr badge hanging on the back trying to impersonate, whats wrong with just makin the car look better?

anyways, i got a gtr kit on teh 32.. so maybe im bias :D

s.

krush: Theres more gtr body kits than actual gtrs on the road, thats why it shits me :D

Most people I have met with actual GTR's (particularly the guys with the 33 GTRs, as 33's are the most common to receive the dress up treatment) will nod in agreement when the subject of sheep in wolves clothing comes up.. I doubt they will smash your windscreen in fury, because they probably respect all skylines, but just dont expect them to send any love your way..

:Bang:

Yup...im currently running a stock turbo. As for the GTR grill and wing thingie....sorry if it pisses any GTR owners off...they came with the car and i rather not spend money having to remove and replace them :headspin:

By...i must say, the GTR kit looks good though :D

old 93 skyline with cheap mods like bleed valve and high km's... not something I would buy myself.

I think you paid to much.

silver gts-t:

it could be worse.. i've seen a few s13s with '33 gtr wings.. :)

Infact the guy who came over to inspect my s13 when I was selling it had the SR20DE (read: non turbo) with a 33 GTR wing.. he was saying how he was going to swap the boot lids..

I told him I wasnt too interested in having my girl bastardised and wanted her to go to a good home. he never called back. ;)

you paid about right.

as long as its good condition, and FMIC, 5 zigen zorst, 18" wheels arnt cheap mods.

half the stuff has been bone on this car already, think about it if he sold the mods he would get a minumum $3k back so thats a stock 33 for $13.5k. pretty good i think

i would invest in a better alarm.

thats a sin

I think thats about standard price for a 93 model. It has some decent mods.

Main thing would be to check it doesnt have any oil leaks, or other problems with the engine. Problems with the chassis. Whether the kms are genuine or not, etc.

But ultimately, so long as you are happy with it, that is the main thing.

I sold my 33 GTS-T a year ago for 18k. No mods, 95 model Series 1.5. In pretty good condition. So I suppose 16.5k for a 93 with mods isnt too bad either :)

i bout my gtst s1.5 1 1/2 yrs ago for $16500, stock as a rock, but came with the gtr kit, personally not my favourite kit for skylines but compared to the stocko no-kits one its deffo better, and no it doesn't mean we r trying to impersonate gtr's haven't met a single person yet who has axctually installed a gtr kit themselves, most of them come from japan like this

u got a good buy, especially so modded

I think as long as they dont put the GTR badge on, its a nice and tasteful mod as it makes the gts-t's look much better. After all, whats wrong with making your ride look nice?

BTW, you really should get over it. If you want exclusivity, maybe you should go out and buy something 'more exclusive'? after all, an r32 gtr or r33 gtr is getting pretty damn affordable nowadays. Unless of course you cant afford it, in which case you really shouldnt be complaining :cheers:

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
