Hey,

I am new here and interested in buying GTR33. Have couple of questions:

1) Where should i look?

2) Should i import or buy in AUS? (Which is cheaper?)

Any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. was looking at http://www.j-garage.com/sale/usedcars/stoc...ock/110571.html

j-garage is in japan/america, look at some local dealers. prices for america are usually a bit pricey.

I'd reccomend www.j-spec.com.au if you're patient enuff to get it. I've got an GTS from them and am in the process of getting an R32 GTR from them. Saving me quite a bundle.

thats it, after you get the car from japan you comply it (which takes 1-2 weeks depending on who is doing the compliance and how busy they are)

then after the work is done it has to be signed by an engineer the it takes about 1-2 weeks to get the compliance plate. then you register it.

but it'll probably take longer under the new scheme.

Don't be in a hurry if you're importing.

I began the importing process for my R33 GTSt sedan just after Xmas & the car finally arrived at my place last week.

It's in good conmdition & there weren't any big nasty surprises, but be prepared for a lot of stuffing around if you're importing it yourself.

Also allow extra $$$ because mine has ended up costing $2,000 more than the import broker told me to expect.

Good luck.

PS: The car's great & will be fully rego'd & legal on Thursday.

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!

      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.
