ok well i know there a current post about what to bring back from the land of the rising sun if you had the choice.

however, in this case i do. parents going over for business, and shipping some corporate things back, now i cant have anything too massive, i.e. body kits wheels. ect.. and it doesnt nessesarily have to be shipped back.

just wondering (under 500) what can i get for the car worthwhile over there that i cant get here. open to sugestions in performance and cosmetic/styling category.

i got a 95 33 with minor mods; cooler, exhaust ect..

cheers

too hard I'd say to try and get your parents to do some performance part shopping. I would do this:

ask them to go to a book shop/magazine shop and get a few option mags, drift tengoku, GTR magazine, hyper rev etc, whatever you are into.

ask them to go to a hobby shop and buy some nice models, JGTC skyline models are pretty sweet.

and finally ask them to bring back something really japanese.

cool thanks. yeah i have no idea about japan. only that i enjoy the cars the've made. any nismo stuff from keyrings hats, models, stickers sounds the go. plus maybe some mags. thanks guys. i know 500 is a bit of a small limit, to go performance wise.

although.. are say a bosch 044 or wallbro, or tomie equivilents any cheaper over there??? all that jap writing and yen stuff confuses the hell outta me.

thanks for your replies too.

But as Beer Baron said, it is quite hard to find performance parts shops in Japan, they are not often in the main touristy parts. It might take your parents the best part of a whole day to get out and find somewhere.

I made it to a SuperAutobacs when i was in japan.. It was ok to have a look but really is no different to Autobarn in Australia, except with more cup holders and a few sets of Rays wheels.

Maybe see if you can get someone to buy something from yahoo auctions for you and get it sent to your parents so they can take it home for you?

    • 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.
