soarers are highly made in auto form, cos of it's nature to be a luxury car, there are manual but are reasonably rare, but you can get them one in every five or so. keep looking dont be in too much of a hurry, you'll find a manual just takes time a importer get them to track one down for ya. Hope it helps.

Most soarers are autos due to the fact that they market it to different groups of ppl. The 3.0L non turbo and the 4.0L V8 ones are almost 100% manuals. Hardly any executive in Jpn would want a manual in the upmarket version. You might be lucky to find a manual for the 2.5L turbo version.

But there is a manual twin turbo soarer out there if you really patience, and wait, and look around very hard.... but be mindful that owning a manual soarer can be a pain as parts for manual gearbox can be very hard to find if you ever stuff your box. So you gotta treat your car with respect.

definitely cruise mobiles, get a nice subtle kit for it, updated front lights or whatever they did for the later models, drop it so you can't drive over a piece of paper, 18inch rims... you're ready for a night out on the town! :)

but depends on what ur after, it it's just to cruise, maybe get one. But after performance and handling, look skyward :)

    • 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.
