Skyline kits??

[Toolman]

Hi all, i'm new to the site.
I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I own a Nissan Skyline R33 GTS non turbo and am having trouble finding out if there are Whiteline products for it.
I'm guessing some of the GTS-T stuff may fit but the N/A dosen't have the rear steering as featured on the turbo model.
Any help will be greatly appreciated ;)

ive got the rear whiteline anti roll bar on mine mate..(you never asked) its the same sub frame and mounts as the coupe ..(mines a gts4 saloon for those that dont know)

i dont think the hicas makes a difference. the coupe has rear anti roll bar as standard so get under her and chaeck the shape...then give epraceing a call ....

oh and it makes an apreciable difference in handling!

Hi Toolman & Hesh1138,

For the non-turbo R33 there really is no difference when it comes to fitting our products, they will all fit your vehicle.

As you've mentioned Toolman, the rear end is not equipped with HICAS, so we offer the bushes for the Toe Adjustment Arm that replaces the HICAS on the vehicle. In fact some people retrofit a non-HICAS rear end to their Skyline to remove the intrusion of rear steer, so in some respects you're already ahead of the game.

A complete list of Whiteline products to suit your Skyline can be found through our Online Parts Catalogue which can be found at http://www.whiteline.com.au/parts/default.asp

If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to let me know.

Kind Regards,

Wayne

Lol! should of asked you Hesh!
Thanks very much for the info, that's very helpful!

Actually, while i'm at it, Wayne, what in your recommendation, would be the best set up to go with?
I'm not great with all this setup and want to maxamise it as best as possible so any futher info would be great!

no worrys mate.

WayneV I'm glad youre on here, cos ive gone through one of the dealers withthe skylineclub and fitted stuff listed for the rwd gtst. (rear bar only)

the gts4 is a little known varient (outside tuning circles anyhow) with the attessa 4wd and rb25de engine platform.

mine has the oddity of being a4 door as well.

I've a front bar on hold via my supplier and if that fits up (not sure if ittle clear the front diff?) then it would be great if you guys could add the gts4 tothe fitment lists for future buyers..!

mine is the spec 1 r33 variant.

Hi Guys,

Toolman, as a first step in upgrading the handling of your Skyline I would recommend the following. Please note this is our recommendation for a standard vehicle, some changes may be made depending on your current set-up.

BNF28Z 24mm Blade Adjustable Front Swaybar
KCA331 Front Caster Adjustment Kit (Replacement Radius Rod Bushes)
BNR26Z 22mm Blade Adjustable Rear Swaybar
KCA347 Rear Camber Adjustment Kit (Replacement Upper Control Arm Bushes)

Along with these modifications, of course it goes without saying, a good quality wheel alignment along with replacing any worn components will have a significant increase in the cornering of your Skyline.

Hesh1138, here in Aus we've been lucky enough to have a reasonable import market due to our close proximity to Japan so we've seen quite a few oddball Nissan vehicles. Although it's not catalogued I'm quite confident that the GTS4 shares the same swaybar, radius rod and control arm design as the front of an R33 GTR.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

That's great Wayne, many, many thanks.
Glad i stumbled upon this site!
I think on the Skylineowners site, there is a distributer of Whiteline products, but, can you recommend any in the UK who you use or know of?

Thanks again, Tim
