Hmm, I obviously missed that page :(

Are they still THAT expensive at autowholesale ? Last time I checked them prices were... hmm.. hm... : :P

i think i double printed that page and handed it out. lol.

umm they arent bad prices at AWS. they arent the best but ive actually seen worse. and you can bargain them down. the chick that stole my car, (kidding) got it for 2k less than asking price.

you can certainly bargain them down but the cars till cost waaaaay more than if you import yourself

he he so everyone keeps saying. but you run the risk of buying a dud. its a small risk but still one nonetheless. thats what i dont want to deal with

So what exactly did she get and how much was the final price, if you dont mind me asking ?

car was sold for $18k which is what they were always after anyways... lol

go down to the sister company in cannington and find stagea's going for $18k, knock em down to $14k easy.

We all know what one can import one for so paying an extra $4k+ because a car yard is selling one is just stupid.

Oh, so she paid $18 k for Series 1 ? Isn't it a bit too much ? $14 K sound much better :)

How much is Series 2 then ?

yeah she paid 18k. gotta remember though, the thing had bodykit, stereo and 18's on it. im not saying that justifys the price, but it does ease the pain, lol. theres no way she could have got that car off them for less than that. i bargained, and they wouldnt budge lower than 18k no matter what.

series 2, i have not seen many around. although I am keen at looking at the yellow one at AWS. its advertised for like 26k, but I have spoken to them, and they are flexible with the price.

what would people pay for a Series 2. with like 40k on the clock.????

I'd ask to see the log book, if they don't have one then forget the 40k reading and look at the condition of the car only... what year is it? Say 98, that would mean 5,000km per year, it would be mint if correct.

Could be a good bargaining chip at least.

They all come with log book from AWS. Umm condition is pretty damn good. its 49k on the clock. 1998 model.

what price would it be worth. drives very nice. no noises. everything works.

:P I have had a look at the yellow one at AWS and it is in really good cond body wise - even underneath it looks damn near brand new. The only reason it is still there is because it originally hit their yard at $29K!!!!

BUT........

I know for a fact that it was used as a stage car for the 2006 TargaWest tarmac rally. I was a stage official on all 4 days and I have to say that you don't need much imagination to figure out how it was treated.

someone elses car + closed roads = drive it like you stole it.

It was the car that peaked my interest in Stagea's to start with but I would avoid that particular one like the plague...

it may be nice to drive at the moment, but it will show its abuse sooner rather than later

hmmm handy advice. thanks. sounds like i will be approaching a personal import i think. dammit. might ask imports 101 to start looking for me. might get already modded one. they are bloody good with pricing too.

can you email me some recent piccys???

Ska's car is a TRUE sleeper.

had a power tune I believe of 230awkw on the stock turbo........... with a highflow and poncams surely 270awkw could be achieved.

add in a bodykit from sau-member AMS and it'd be a beast

mine can be bought for $95k :)

I dont have a digital camera so the ones in my link under the "New Mags" link are the newest, but I can go out and take more if you want.........?

It has the stocker mags on it atm but, so doesnt look like much, which is great cause the only thing that gives away it's poer is the 4" tip now ;) Bad thing is that the 18" 235's used to just give a little squeak, but the stocker 15" with 205's well they spin through first and halfway through second, when on a private road of course, never on a public road......... :)

    • 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
