Hey Guys this is my first post. Love the website very informative.

I just about to buy my first Skyline, ive never really driven a Skyline before, but been a passenger in one a couple of times.

The model i am looking at is a '97 R33 Gts-T Manual with 79,000K's on the clock

I test drove it on the weekend and it think its the one i want to get. My only convern is that when i drove it it didnt feel as powerful as i thought it would have. Everything on the car is stock including Filters and Exhaust. It just didnt have that sort of pull that other ones i have been in.

Is this normal for a stock Skyline or is something wrong? Does only get that sort of real pull when you add exhaust and a filter and other mods etc...?

I feel that when your a passanger the car feels faster then when you're driving.

I let my mate drive mine the other night when i was passanger and i was rather impressed with my head being pushed to the head rest :) I guess when your driving you know exactly what the cars gonna do, so it doesnt feel so dramatic.

after driving a VT executive Ls1 with 213rwkw for 3 years, my stock as a rock skyline was prettttty slow too!!:P

even though stock as a rock i did a 15.0 @92mph it wasnt too slow

once you get a few things happening, they are quick

so far ive just got cat back and a pod and did 14.5@95

either way - just enjoy the car :P

    • 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.
