SWEET I have type car lol

I have a question about the front bar on the series II, the drivers side has a stone tray under the front bar but my passengers side doesn't have one. Is it suposed to? I've seen them on the series I

reason I ask is my car got crashed into by a 19 year old tool in his parents commy, the front bar was replaced and the drivers stone tray. The repairer is trying to find a passengers side stone tray. I'm busting his balls on this I just hope i'm right :)

Yep Adam thats the bit I'm talking about, I know it as a stone tray or as an inner guard. It mounts to the underside of the front bumper. There is one on the drivers side of my car but since the accident trying to get one for the passengers side under the stock cooler is beginning to become problematic.

My question is does anybody else with an R33 GTS-T Series 2 have a black plastic part under the standard side mounted intercooler or is there no trim there at all. I have seen this black plastic part on an R33 GTS-T Series 1 my question refers to the Series 2, 1997 model.

Any help or info would be great, thanks :thumbsup:

I have an s2 33t with active lsd.

mine originally came with the plastic covers on both sides. Basically they were pis poorly designed, prevented airflow through the wheel arch and rubbed on the stock tyres when full lock and you go over a bump. They 'wear' pretty quickly if you need to o this a couple of times. Wider tyres and eventually they just wear through near the lip and break off. I still have them somewhere after the wear started i took them off.

Most people take them of to improve airflow around the stock ic anyways. The only purpose is to prevent dirt etc from getting into the wheel arches painted metal. rust preventative basically. the plastic undertray / diffuser under the engine is still in place on my car. On a side note as bad as the smic was on my 33 with heat soak and restriction it was actually noticably worse when the tray was on as compared to it being taken off. the front mount again massive difference and the exhuast again another differnce but alll going of topic.

basically the covers are just plastic and since mine were pretty new when I got the car (replaced obviously) you can source them still.

what was this spec g? neer heard of it or read about it ?

wonder how much an apexi 4 door 33r cost these days eh ?

thanks for that dreamer :)

just a little note, removing the stone trays as i call them has been known to direct air flow downward out of the front bumper and away from the radiator or fmic...

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
