I have been told that it might be the GTR front bar (not original of course) along with the 400R sides and rear but i just wanted to double check before i start calling and emailing around. any info would be great, and if there is a forum sponser that does these kits that would be great too!

Many thanks, look forward to cruising with youse real soon.

:laugh:

cheers guys. the rims look good but i already have another design in mind. im assuming this bodykit then is the same? yeh i found that car on carsales, looks really good but the kms are a lil high :thanks:

Baby Blue Skyline 01

Baby Blue Skyline 02

im just a lil confused cause the sides look different and the frontbar doesn't have those nostrals on the front of the kit. sorry to be a pain, if theres a suzuki question ill answer it no problems, im just new to nissan.

Hey Nic.....front bar on the blue one would be a copy (?) of an early R33 GTR front bar....the N1 vents were only added on the series 2 (I think) and definitly the series 3 GTR.

Side skirts are diff....the 400r ones have the little vents in them on the rear 1/4 section.

Hope that helps

sorry to sound like a bit of a n00b but would the blue skyline kit be available cause im seeing alot of you guys have similar kits but with those nostrals and urs also seem alot lower to the ground than this blue kit? also is that skyline a Series 2 skyline and would that kit only fit a Series 2? any info would be tops!

is that skyline a Series 2 skyline and would that kit only fit a Series 2? any info would be tops!

Pretty sure that blue skyline is a series 1. The bonnet on a s2 has much sharper ridges, also the headlights on a s2 are slightly thinner & sharper than a s1.

Can't say that I'm a fan of that bodykit on the blue skyline though. 400r skirts look much more tidy.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
