G'day All,

Please excuse my ignorance, however the lure of a R33 has always appealed to me, but it has only been recently that I can actually afford one. The problem is I can only get a 1997 model due to leasing options, so I was hoping if you guys could give me an indication on possible models and their associated prices.

Personally would prefer something in the turbo range :P

Thanks heaps to all who reply.

yo scotty.

'97 GTS25t (Series 2) - 2WD single turbo, would set you back ~$25K.. probably less, but depends what extra bits your car comes with.

'97 GTR (Series 3) - 4WD twin turbo, would be upwards of $50K (landed, complied and rego'd).

Hope this helps..

dude that was so hectic. i didnt even look at the date i was thinking wtf is this person joking about ~25k for a r33 gts-t???!!!

in all retrospect this was 6 years ago. you could probably pick up a 97 model for ~13 with mods. so a 10 grand drop in 8 years aint that huge i guess. these cars were sold initially i think for ~45 brand new. when you calculate depreciation that way they havent depreciated too badly. theyre just old 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
