Air shocks were screwed. Their design is you cant replace the shock, so for a 15 year old car, they were gone. Couldnt get a roady here (not dodgy) so I sold it. I was too honest about the car and only got 8k for it.

It was a nice car to drive around illegally yes :P

New owners are Paul and Melissa

It will be Melissa's (Miss nismo) car

They should have it in 2-3 weeks

Cheers Darrin.

The Stagea arrived in our driveway on Monday afternoon, after leaving Southport about the same time last week (apparently the transporter came across a flooded bridge and had to find another route).

I have spent the public holiday today cleaning it all up and familiarising myself with this piece of family wagon magic. The white pearl colour is simply amazing when freshly washed.

Engine runs extremely smooth and quiet, with the nismo exhaust giving only just a noticable note, fantastic.

The premium Addzest sound system sounds fantastic (Bass engine under passenger seat, and Digital sound processor under driver's).... although some of it will end up being binned (Sat Nav and TV is in Japanese and the head unit will need a FM expander). ANYBODY HAVE ANY NEED OR IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THESE COMPONENTS?

I was lucky enough to find three small tokens of the previous owner's life with the car also:

a 10 Yen coin, a Cigarette that had been dropped down the seat, and the rear ashtray was full of aqua coloured little 'pearls' (old airfresheners I assume).

Its off to vehicle inspection and ID check tomorrow and then she is on the road!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
