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.

    • 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.
