Can you give me any info on how they fit and to what vehicles they fit,I have a series 1 GTR, and do they really work??Also do you sell anything secondhand like series 3 GTR Xenons.Cheers GREYPEARL.

Cheers Bundy,It's just to play it safe and avoid a car jacking if it ever happened,so I just use the transponder from inside the car if I want to lock both doors,great thanks mate.GREYPEARL.

What should I expect to pay for a good pair of these??

Hi Tweaky,If you've had no trouble with them keep using them,except with this caution, have a look at them when you pull them out and if they are whitish or more than ashen grey they may be too hot already which won't do your valves any good,I'm running IRITOP 7 IN MY 240AWKW GTR now but it had 8's in it before,both ran great but my 8's were a bit dark so I went 7's,I definately wouldn't go hotter if I were you and keep the .8 gap with that power.Cheers GREYPEARL.

I don't know how to post pics on the forum but if you give me your email address I know how to send them to that.GREYPEARL.

Hi All, Anyone know if it is possible to buy Z tune Silver or Millenium Jade as A paint to respray a car or are they being kept exclusive,Cheers GREYPEARL.

Chris, Just to clarify my earlier post,should I have to use the key transponder to the ignition to lock the doors when inside the car or should I be able to do it with the door lock switch on the door trim on a 95 Series 1 GTR33.GREYPEARL.

I don't think it's different from stock,the trim colour code is K anyone know what that colour is called??the exterior paint is KN6 known as Dark Grey Pearl.Cheers GREYPEARL.

Further to my earlier post in case you thought they were all V Spec plates,one is R35ZLA for a normal R35.Cheers GREYPEARL.

ANYONE??????

Hi Chris, Seeing as you are a guru with all things electrical in Skylines can you tell me how the door locking feature should work when operated with the doors closed in a GTR33 Series1,at the moment if I lock both doors from the inside whilst in the car you can still open the drivers side door from the outside,I assume something was not connected properly when the compliancing was done,I am fairly sure the locking knob on the drivers door does not close when the lock is electrically activated however central locking works properly locking both doors when the key activator is used when outside the car.Cheers GREYPEARL.

I'm not sure about that as mine is stock and I have actually bought the electric window switch door trim new before from Nissan, but they couldn't tell me the colour code was,mine is definately bronzy chocolate colour.Cheers GREYPEARL.

Hi Afaik,Excuse my ignorance but does ADM mean Australian Domestic Market??Do you know what the various model GTR VSpec models sold for new compared to non- VSpec in Australia,or were they only ever bought here secondhand.Cheers GREYPEARL.

Last chance before going on ebay.Cheers GREYPEARL.

I just assumed it's painted,if it's not I just need to know what the finish is called please.Cheers GREYPEARL.

Hi Mate,I don't have any of these but would like some,would they work with tein suspension,how much do you know about these best brands etc I would be grateful for any info,I have a 33GTR are there any to fit that??Cheers GREYPEARL.

Thanks Johno, I was just worried about the extra load on the wiring having the more powerful current draw,now I've just got to find some good ones,what are my chances do you think??

Won't the V-Spec 35 be the same as the other predecessors eventually and be accepted here, and why not?? I am surprised to hear that.GREYPEARL.

Sorry Guys,What I mean't to say at the end of this shamefully long editorial was not to underestimate the fuel filter as a cause of missfiring and poor performance the difference in my car now is unbelieveable,I know some of it was the plug choice but certainly not all, I'm so glad I changed that $20.00 part first before going for new coils,so check that fuel filter and plugs first then look at the big ticket items is my advice.Cheers GREYPEARL.

Hi All,Does anyone know the name of the paint finish on the dash and stereo surround on the chocolatey coloured GTR33's please??Cheers GREYPEARL.

Hi Johno,Thanks for the reply ,what about the ballasts, are they already in a series 1 or not,are there any other changes to make??Cheers GREYPEARL.

Further to this story I have been through a lot to get this sorted,my problems started when my 33GTR began having the odd miss,which had never happened before so thought I will check the plugs and probably replace them as I hadn't touched the car since I bought it,so pulled them out and saw that they were iridiums or platinums,not sure as it was not apparent on the plugs, so went looking for the same plugs and couldn't find any reference to them in any NGK reference anywhere and no-one on the forum had ever heard of them either,just NGK R on one side of the plug and an 8 on the other side,so I then started searching the confused souls on the spark plug threads and couldn't decide what was correct as no-one had used heat range 8 on a GTR and those that answered me thought it most peculiar.So I found out what the standard plugs were for a stock GTR PFR6A11 Platinums and fitted them,also changed the air filter,was an Apexi for a Ryco A360,started it up seemed ok then took it for a drive about 50km round trip to give everything a chance to settle in and the ECU to re balance to the changes,but it was horrible even compared to the old plugs,couldn't take boost unless fed on gradually,missing profusely,and just disappointed the hell out of me,so came home,got on the forum and started looking at Iridiums because I wanted a .8 gap, and ended up at Kudos motorsports where they have a very comprehensive chart for selecting plugs even though the ones I bought did not list the gap and whether they were a resistance plug or not,a bit disappointing but a couple of emails later had that confirmed as yes, I bought the Iritop7's pregapped to .8mm, as they were recommended for moderately enhanced cars,and as I had been using 8's already very sucessfully ,and had them in my hands 2 days later for the sum of $156.20 including postage,the Platinums had cost $146.00 so I was pleased with the Iridium price which is even better if you buy them and coils together as you save 10% off the plugs doing that. In the mean time whilst waiting for the plugs to arrive I pulled out the coils and plugs and jumped on the forum again to find out how to test coils and followed the instructions to test the primary side IE: set multimeter to ohms resistance,the little inverted u shape symbol, and put black to centre probe and red to lefthand side probe in the coil to loom connection part and get a reading between .6 and .8,I got a reading of -676 on all of them and knowing that they were all ok and the car still ran ok without boost,I rightly as it turned out assumed the coils to be ok,but still hoping at this stage.I proceeded to fit the new plugs after checking myself to make sure of the gap and yes they were spot on .8,put everything back together and fired it up but now it was doughy when free revving in neutral and sounded missy as well,I thought oh no,what else could it be,so I thought I've never changed the fuel filter,so again on the forum but no reference anywhere,so got online and found the Ryco filter chart and found the correct filter,which the Local Nissan dealer couldn't even tell me,it is Ryco Z387 or it's equivalent if you can't get that brand,for all Rb26 engines $23.90 from Bursons,$33.00 from Supercheap,it pays to ring around for prices,so as Supercheap is a lot closer I made them match the Burson price which they did,put that in,and this can be a hell of a job as Nissan put as much goodness into the GTR engine bay as they could, and that doesn't leave much room for hands,especially big white man hands!! and believe me you will need both hands and strength for this job!! I know this is long winded but I feel there is some good learning in this for a lot of people to save themselves some cash and still diagnose their own problems,I will tell you how to change a GTR fuel filter the easiest way,Firstly approach any job in the engine bay with care,and move slowly whilst doing it as there are switches and connections that will break if you hit them hard especially in frustration,go and boil the jug, and have a hot drink while you are there to calm down,have the new filter on hand,unscrew the top hose clip on the filter and get it as loose as you can without the screw coming right out ,you don't want that to happen as there are loose parts that will come off and get lost both sides of the clip,pour the hot water slowly onto the part of the hose where the clip is for about 10 secs,and from the front of the car put one hand to hold the filter and one to pull the hose off,pull in a twisting motion from side to side,really screwing the hose till it comes off,you may have to heat it twice to do this I did,fuel injected hoses are very tight,don't be tempted to cut the hose and do it outside the car as this will be a tempting thought,a couple of times doing that and you will not have enough hose and that's a bigger job,just keep heating and screwing and it will come,fold the top hose out of the way and hook it between some wires that are there so you don't spill fuel everywhere. Then get a 12 mm socket and remove the filter holderand take it out of the way,you will need the hand room believe me,undo the clip on the bottom hose again as loose as possible without it coming apart,fold the filter and hose into a position where you can pour the hot water on it and repeat the process you have already done on the top hose,I found it a bit easier on the bottom hose as it is secured a bit,then screw the filter this time and hold the hose tightly it should come ok but may require more hot water,the hot water serves 2 purposes,it heats the rubber and washes spilt fuel away,put the filter onto the bottom hose first making sure the clip is in the same orientation as it was so it's easy to undo next time and slide it up to the end of the hose to be in it's right position to do up as you can't slide it over after the hose is fitted to the filter,orientate the filter top so it faces the right way then do up the clip,do not over tighten the clips or they will strip,just nip them,then put back the filter holder put the filter back in it and fit the top hose,use any left over hot water to wash the spilt fuel and you're done,it's not as easy as you think,that's why I went to this trouble to thank the forum for all it's help. Now the good part for me anyway, I fired it up sounded better but still a bit missy when revved,I thought no, it's still not right, and started thinking coils again,and it was pissing rain,and I usually never take my car out in the wet as it needs a total clean again after that,but I couldn't wait,I had to know,so off I went slowly at first all seemed good,when I hit the freeway it was up to temp so I thought here goes and floored it only to come out on the freeway in front of a cop car but settled it down and he turned off probably couldn't gauge my speed cause of the spray,when he was gone took it through the gears,it was like a jet I tell you it excited me it was so good no miss no pops between gears,a lot less vibration at full revs,just a joy to drive,got home put it in the garage very pleased with myself even though I had spent $146.00 too much on plugs that were wrong for my application,at this point I would like to say that even though my car seems stock,I don't think it is,it has white 320km gauges a Nismo twin 2" titanium exhaust system,Tien coilover suspension all round and 18"X91/2" Volk VC Pro Racing rims,has had the rear windscreen wiper removed and the hole filled and the boot lock taken out and filled,my point being that the japanese guy who owned it seemed to know his stuff and therefore it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he did other things to it as well as it had the heat range 8 plugs in it and they agreed with it,so I guess I'll never know till I rebuild it but the way it's going that won't be any time soon,just for anyone who can't find it, the filters for GTR'S are OIL: Z145A FUEL FILTER Z387 AIR FILTER A360 all Ryco as I did have trouble finding these out at different times in the cars ownership.Cheers GREYPEARL

Hi All, I am looking for a pair of these secondhand in excellent condition and any info regarding how hard it is to fit them to a Series 1 33GTR,ballasts etc,please ring me or pm me as I don't want to get into a bidding frenzy on the forum, Cheers GREYPEARL 0417032732

Hi all, Not sure where to post this as there doesn't seem to be a styling and Mods forum yet for 35's,so I have 3 sets of undisplayed plates for a V-Spec 35 GTR35V- VSPC35 AND R35ZLA if anyone is interested you can call me for the prices,Cheers GREYPEARL.0417032732.

Hi All,Was wondering if any body can post pictures of a series 3 GTR33 showing a close-up of the front of the car,so I can see the projector headlights or can post up a link to one,as I am considering an upgrade for my Series 1.Cheers GREYPEARL
