Hey guys as the topic suggest my car has no front quarter panel indicators. Just not sure whether they have been deleted, after market quarters or it was a factory option.

Heres 2 pics.

Are they possibly GTR guards? The GTR front bar seems to line up pretty well with the guards, I have noticed on most GTS-t's with GTR front bars it doesnt line up well.

Also the rims, are they R32 GTR's or just GTS-t's painted?

cheers,

Greg

don't think any do.. only ones that have them are the aussie ones, where they are added to meet ADR's.

The recent 89/90 models don't need them added (in a couple of states anyhow).

Really hard to tell if they are genuine gtr or just painted from that angle..

All cars that came in under SEVS or RAWS or whatever have to get side indicators.

All the 15 year hacks dont have them.

Your guards definately are standard GTS ones.

Hey,

To answer your question for the rims even though the R32 GTS-t and GT-R rims like almost identical from the face view. the GT-R ones are actually 8 inches wide to fill out the wider guards, compared to the GTS-t's being only 6-inches.

They wouldn't be GT-R guards cos I've seen Adam's GTS-t from Fulllock motorsport's car and he's got GT-R guards and front bar on his and personally I reckon it looks weird cos the rear guards aren't flared out as much making the car look a little out of proportion. Its an awesome car but I've been told its a hard car to drive.

As for the front that would most likely be an aftermarket kit.

1. No 32s came with side repeaters except for Aus delivered ones - i know - they're damn ugly

2. Not GTR guards - not fat enough, see how the rear panel is flush with the door? GTR ones are not flush they buldge out at the point where the guard meets the door

3. Pretty sure they're GTS-t painted wheels - GTR ones have a little more kink in the spokes - GTS-t spokes are a little flatter

:) cheers

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
