hey all,

got a question for you all, whats the deal with the word skyline that's embossed on the lower half of the rear of the boot on the r32. how come some models say skyline across it and some models don't? is there a difference? e.g. earlier model, later model? coz im interested in this r32, goes like a dream, but doesn't have the word "skyline" written across the back as usual which is giving me nightmares in my sleep... :O

whats the deal?

ta :O

im not sure about your question boosted, but only factory orginal bars(whether gtr or gts) have the skyline embosed, i think as a factory option you could have a light up panel thing(ask funkymonkey)

If you see on a site for bodykits and it has the skyline embosed, chances are the rear bar there selling is like a spoiler that goes on factory bar, not replaces :cool:

sorry...a bit off topic but.....have you noticed a difference with the R32s and lights

I have seen some with a lil bulb thing in the lights.....and some without

whats the story there?

the ones with the bulbs are the gtr lights and the others arent....or the other way around...

which ever one is better are the gtr lights

thanx for the input boyz...

yeh, i noticed a couple of them had differing lights as well...

to resolve those nightmares ive been having about these little details, i just bought myself an r32 gts-t with it written on the back. :eek1: phew!

i now own a skyline baby~! :burnout:

muahahahahahaaaaa....

:cool:

live in glen waverley/knox, normally around those areas and the nearby

yurself?

should be cruising as of next week, got a few minor things to fix up on the car...

that, and registration and insurance would be handy... hahahaha :cool:

it's burgundy (yeh i know, its a lil boring, but can't be too choosy, not many around for sale), standards mods, e.g. gtr front bar, 3" exhaust, blitz bov, hks filter yada yada yada... but plenty more to come... muahahaha

but yeh, about another week and w00t w00t~!

yeah there was a big thread about this with a comparison a while back...

coco welcome man and enjoy! sounds sweet!

i live in the dingley springvale area... all specs on site... not really much at all

BoOsTeD_RB26,

Example 1 is the earlier model headlights without the round bulb, less weight than later model and is used in R32 N1 race cars.

Not much extra info for example 2 as I personally dont like them much (I have those and my lights are so dimm compare to others :D ), my car originally came with non round bulb lights (89 model) but changed to later headlights after repair.

I want N1 style lights!!! And an N1 RB26DETT to go with the lights! I've got crappy late model GTR lights and an RB20DE to go with it :)

Lol I've got an embossed bar AND a light up Skyline panel on top of that hehe. So when I get another R32 (which is probably what will happen) then I'm jus gonna take the light up panel with me, coz apparently it costs around $300 :D

Is anyone good with neons? I need to chuck one under the light up panel and wire it to the brakes (with an override switch), coz the old one is blown. We need to have a "service day" where we can all meet up n tinker witth our cars.

I do good audio installs, and since I now can get my hands on a tripod, I can take good pics of your car too.

Nark did you get a 3 megapixel IXUS or a 2.1 megapixel IXUS? I gots a 256mb smartcard for the camera hehehe.... I can take squillions of pics now!

/me pulls off his Canon Japan supplied long life battery, the portable charger and the standby stock battery... ahh the joys of working for Canon (other than the 40% discount)

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
