When I was looking for an FD there nobody was complying them in Vic. You had to go to QLD or NSW for compliance. Don't know if that's changed recently, so I bought a 34 GT-T instead (still in Japan.)

So yeah, if you want to import one you might need to get it complied interstate. Too much of a hassle.

Edit:

Yup, that's still the case.

Just checked the RAWS site.

Compliance available in NSW and WA only.

HRmmmmmmm, ive gotten some offers for complience down here in melb from a complience company who want to add the rx7 to their list of compliced cars and they wont charge me...so complience is for free. sounds good but dunno if ill give it the go till i see wats actually gonna happen

Do note that even if they do compliance work for free, it will take a gd month or two, as paper work will take ages.

Then an engineer as to inspect each modifications done for it to meet the standards. Then the paper work will be sent out backwards and forwards.

So if you are willing to wait that long then go ahead. Just something to think about i guess..

^^ this is because they have never done it before. So it would take a lot longer than normal skylines etc etc.

Also now looking after one is going to be much more expensive than a 34.

So why dont you see to many around?? well price firstly!! secondly parts are not cheap!!!

you are still in school dude.. Are you sure you will be able to afford it.

Not questioning your money status here. Just saying, after finishing school, some of your interests will change. You might go on holidays..

Actually i will stop here and let you think about it a bit more.

Dont jump and buy out a 50k car!!

all the best.

if its gonna take that long i proberly wont even bother , atm i just want my car back. i cant really think of any cars apart froma 34 or a FD....everyone seems to tell me its gonna be real hard to maintain a FD....which kinda makes me want to own one even more. my whole life ive wanted things that no one has...i guess its just gotten even bigger.

thinking about it logically a 34 is already good enough....so i might just stay with it.

Edit: Get off your red p's before you buy another 'Fast' car..

N get some driving experience...

Im not saying that we all are perfect.

Im saying get off your Red ps atleast.. that is all..

gdluck

its gonna take me 3 years to get off my Ps mate....i cant wait that long lol

mates keep telling me to go to some advance driving courses...but i dunno.....i guess its fun and all but i just never get around to makn the arrangements.

YE GTA in the city spencer st sells rx7 but be cerful when doing buissines with them..

Hrmmm...havnt herd of em but thanks for the heads up, although i think ill stick with a 34 for now.....

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
