i know these cars are cheap, but its painful to see people praise them so much. the running costs will outweigh the initial price eventually, and thats when you start to realise that a 15+ year old performance car isnt such a good idea

theres also talk to the law being changed to 20 years so be careful you dont buy the car and then get it stuck in japan for another 5 years!

20 years would be just to be to stop cars like that from getting into p-platers hands, pure and simple :P

With people supposedly paying for them now (?? has anybody done that yet).. i doubt they'd do that under them 'cause imagine the outcry. They'd at least one batch get through

itll cost you more than 20K in the first year to rebuild the engine and turbo.

more than 20k to rebuild the engine and turbo?!! you can rebuild a porche engine for less than that.. i don't think so.. 10k i'd believe, 20k noway.

If you purchased a 15+ year old car via someone like Prestige Motorsport I cannot see them turning round after purchase and saying sorry the rules have changed, bad luck.

If there was an possibility of such a change no doubt Geoff and prestige would clearly advise of it. And even in worst case scenario, if you did buy a car and the ruling did change, the importer would have to refund you the full amount as the conditions of sale had not been met.

just cos its been rebuilt recently whos to say it aint damaged? thats complete crap... maybe it reduces the chances of it being wrecked but it only takes 1 dyno run, or 1 1/4 mile to screw and engine.

10K to rbuild an RB26DETT and 2 x turbos. youd be doing it either in your backyard or with a shitty parts list

i'm 19, had my P's for a full year and 1 month... with the money i've saved towards an R34 GT-T i could buy that GTR right now.... and it's O so tempting... but really, that car is off it's tits and i just wouldn't trust myself in it. But i can so relate to P platers wanting to get in one.

I wish i was more.... well.... irresponsible, cos i'd really like to buy that car :D

EDIT: anyone wanna have a guess, or an idea of what sort of power that car has. Stock GTR's are about 260kw at the fly??? I really don't know... just guessing...

    • 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.
