For some reason, I've always wondered how many Skylines have been privately imported into Australia, but never really had a clue. Given that one of my workmates actually asked me this question this morning during one of our 'water cooler' meetings, I thought I'd try and find out...

Would anyone have a ballpark figure (possibly by model)???

Just count the number of shops allowed to comply each model on the DOTARS website then multiply by 100 per year.

Last count I think every Skyline ever built had been exported to australia.

there are exactly 256,439 cars excluding half cuts or 341,692 including half cuts based on data i made up on 15/5/06

Talk about precision! Thanks! :dry:

Just wanted to ask, is that number for Skylines only? Or private imports in general?

Either way, that's a huge number of cars...I was thinking perhaps 20,000 Skylines, but it seems like I was way off :(

sleep better now?

Yes, much better now :angry:

um... only one person realised that i made this up because the question has an answer that can never be given?

Thanks for the insight... :P

There was never any mention of getting an exact figure - just interested in a ballpark estimate.

Call it curiosity :D

      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.
