hey all..

just wondering if someone can help me..my friend has a 40th aniversary r33 and where it says "skyline" at the back of the car between the tail lights is apparently supposed to light up..when he had a look there are wires there and they are connected but nothin happens...i have a white r33 so i had a look at mine (its just painted white)..and there are no wires where he had them..we checked fuses and put it in reverse and everything..anyone know??

Hmmm my 40th Annv doesn't do that.. have to check it out..

amuses me when people get in and the green lights up around their feet.. first couple of times people said "you put neons in did you.." nearly fcuking slapped them out of my car..

would love to get a list of options that you could get with the 40th annv. does your friends have the antenna heigh switch - lets you put it up 1/2 way or full..

also - mine came with fog lights - but looks like they've been removed and cut off - still got the wires + switch on the blinker stick..

  • 3 months later...

I got mine working again yesterday after a few months of putting off having a look at it.

All i did was pull it off (4 bolts and one plug in the boot), it had some water in it, so let that drain out then cleaned up the contacts on the spade connectors, checked connections with multimeter, put it back on and to my surprise it works again!

its a factory option for any r33, its in the nissan fast system.

connect the wires to the brake lights if they arent connected

if u dont have any wires, go out and buy a series1 panel, paint around the skyline bit the colour of ur car, then put an LED strip behind it... bingo

i remember seeing an r33 gtst ages and ages ago, a few years at least, with the skyline logo on the back lit up a soft green color, surely its a aftermarket item.

ive seen one with the dark green lights, i thought it would of been an aftermarket thing, but obously not. havent seen any besides that 1

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
