R33 Sedan/4dr S1 - S2 Tail Lights Conversion

Or more obvious : to take the battery out of a volitile environment and the biggy, wieght distribution for better handling, centre of gravity etc etc.

If those were in fact Nissans reasons behind it I think that the tiny boot space was a pretty huge compromise for such small gains as mentioned above

Better weight distribution yes, centre of gravity no. It is mounted higher in the boot then when under the bonnet therefore a worse centre of gravity. Although the very small gains in these areas definatley don't make up for the loss in boot space hence the change back. Understandable to chase such designs in the GTR but really overkill in the GTST models I would think.

It sucks ass as with my sub box I have no boot. Is there anyway to move the battery?

yeah maybe also it had something to do with the whole "racecar thing" when racing them in japan. i have never had a problem with mine in the boot yet. also if u are stuck on the roadside with a flat battery its easier for a car to pull up behind u and open its bonnet then jump start you that way. anyway i dont mind it in the boot. its hidden, its neat and really u wouldnt have bought a skyline if oyu were really worried about boot space would ya. (well a 2 door anyway)

A quick note that I got the car back today (the conversion anly took 2 days) and will post some pics later. The results are amazing the car looks at least 5-10 years newer.

sweet, I would really like to see what it does to the car.

Hey Guys,

For anyone that is interseted I currently have a set I can obtain for $400, pickup. They are silver in colour and would take approximately 2 weeks as they are ex Japan.

If anyone is interseted just drop me a PM.
