Hi all,

as the heading suggests, I am looking for a place to have a car inspected prior to purchase. RAA inspections just don't cut it, so I went to Boostworx as I have read many good things about them. Boostworx will do a full safety inspection of the vehicle as well as compression test, but the problem is they can't inspect the vehicle for another 2 weeks!!

So does any have any other recommendations for having it inspected in the adelaide area? The car is located in the Eastern hills, so anywhere eastern suburbs or inner south would be good.

Yeah, sorry I had a quick look in there, but are they any good in relation to inspection? I know people have had work done there, just after some more opinions. cheers

Were you the guy looking for a 33 and you came into Boostworx one late arvo after work, about a week or so ago? think you were driving a pulsar???

I'd personally get Hi Tech or GW to do a check, either way they will be able to do the same check anyways! They will check it all out but obviously you will have the final say on the purchase as they cant give you a "yeh mate buy it....... it won't blow up!!"

GL with the search, and just remember to put some time into it and not buy the first one you like! besides there is alot of 33's out there for sale ATM!

Hey Delux,

Yeah that was me. I was in my wifes pulsar as she was driving my SP23 that day. I realise there are a lot of cars for sale out there, and I have been looking at the market for some time. After inspecting quite a few cars on the weekend, I have come accross a car which stood well above the others for condition of both body and interior, and that is why Im keen to move on it now. Thanks for the tips, will see how I go.

Cheers

Graham West have been relatively good to me in the past. I now use someone private but i have had a fair bit of work done there (and with the lemon i bought i mean a fair bit) they know what they're talking about only problem is that they do cost a bit p/h which builds up over a day.

if you're desperate, ask one or two of our SAU members to help you inspect

i'm sure they'd be delighted to help out a fellow member...maybe with a beer or two afterwards

imo

Im sure someone here would be comfortable to say yer its a nice car with no hard feelings if something happens shorlty after :)

Very nice and clean has an aggressive look to it but I have to recommend Car Toys to clean up the headlights, get rid of that 33 foggy headlight thing

Congrats on the purchase and Hi Tech dyno is a quality workshop John really knows skylines and how to treat them good luck with it

    • 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
