I imported my 33 mechanically stock. Saved most of it, got a loan with the rest. My mum went as guarantor until the car was in Australia, then the car became it. The only money I've borrowed was for this stage, all mods were paid for by me :laugh:

  • 3 weeks later...
i've been workin since i was 12 at my parents restruant i gotta couple of months and i'll have enough for my r33, hehe my first car was the biggest ricer ever :laughing-smiley-014:

Yeah dude, I put neons on my brothers car first, now that I got my skyline, I have not bothered... lol maybe later but it has to look good and slightly visible.

my uncle spotted me 10gs and rest i got from selling my first car.

and no, i'm not a spoilt kid that likes handouts

Years ago he started up a new factory with me as his first employee from when I was 12. After 6yrs of working there the company grew into a multi-million dollar business and as a thank you gift he bought me the car.

i'll still pay him back the money one day...in some way or form.

I had a 98 Missan Maxima and traded it in for my 96 GTS-T.

I have a personal loan for the balance.

I have a lot of equity in the car and when I sell it there will be a profit.

The profits are gone already....damn....had to go for the next Skyline...damn...I'm broke...already!!!!!

Another Bloody American in OZ>....but this one have a cool ases....LINE>>>>>

I think it's good to get a loan so that later in life when you want something worth more than 20K, like a house for instance, lenders can see that your capable of paying money back with out any problems.

My 2 cents worth..............

absolutely. Back when I was ~19 i got knocked back for a mobile phone account because I had NO history of debt. I thought that was a good thing!! Only reason I got a credit card, to build up a credit rating.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
