From what i've read, and this was quite a while ago, having the Skyline letters on the rear light up was a factory option, along with the flare and umbrella?

I'm pretty sure of the letters and the flare, not sure if the umbrella was something as well?

i think it was a factory option, but lots of people have done it themselves too, a guy I know in Sydney did it to his black R33, looks awesome :)

i thought the flare was standard, just most have been lost by now?? dunno..

as for the brolly (lol ..how bizarre is that?? anyway..) they came with GTIR's, but i don't know about Skylines..

spotted: Pauls yellow R32 gunning through the intersection on Melrose Dr tonight at about 9:30, came from hindmarsh and turned right onto Melrose(it may have been the other yellow R32 but i think it was Pauls). then at the other side of the lights a silver R33(i think s2)

and finally on Namatjira dr. a red R33 came past me (just after 9:30)

not a bad few spots in less than 5mins.

i may have been the silver one, i went down hindmarsh to goodberry's at about 9.30, was parked in the carpark across the road (in the markets carpark) and saw two other R33s (both S1) parked in there.

Also saw a red r33 at Tony Farrugia Bodyworks thismorning.

(didn't look smashed up)

SPOTTED: Amaru & Aurora (minus their beasty cars) & couple of other blokes out da front of Ali Baba on Saturday arvo just chillin. Don't know you blokes too well so woulda felt like a nugget bein a random and just saying hi. More of a Skyline owners spotting than actual skylines.

Also: Last week in Dickson right opposite Jimmy's restaurant an absolutely awesome yellow widebodied R33 GTST...looked like Kakimoto style...Anyone know this beast? It looks so tough in the flesh!

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
