first of all, sorry if this is a repost.

anyway i'm getting an R33 GTS manual soon and want to do a turbo conversion later on.

just wanted to know wats the cheapest way of doing this. i know the best way to do this is probably getting a GTST front cut (i think). but is there a different and cheaper way.

appreciate any help.

I think you answered your own question ;)

A front cut is the best option.. Also will mean you should get the front end hubs, discs, brakes to do the 5 stud and brake conversion, proper loom and ECU. Also if you get a manual cut, the right gearbox, clutch, all that, etc as well.

Then you just need the rear hubs/brakes and an LSD - and you should be done.

honestly i'm not that desperate to get a turbo, i mean i'd love to have one but i can settle for an NA and being still on my Ps i think i should. i'm not gonna be taking the car to tracks or anything just want something that looks and goes ok for daily driving and with the number of undercover cops around these days you can't get away with a drag race every now and then lol.

You may not be desperate to get a turbo now, but you will later.

Dont bother with a non turbo, just save your money and buy a GTS-t right from the word go. You will save money in the long run, and you wont have to regret buying the NA version of an already pretty heavy car.

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • 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.
