It's official.

My Skyline, formerly known as MUD76, is now in new hands.

She served me well for 5 long years, but times change and it was no longer practical for me.

I have had my heart set on a V35 for ages but I will hold off on a car for a while (will use money to invest in a couple of short term projects).

I will continue to MOD and be a as active as I can with SAU QLD in the short term.

In the mid - long term I will look to pass on the Mod battern, so I'll keep my eye out and make a recomendation to admins when I've had enough and decide to leave.

(I told myself I wouldn't cry)

Cheers

M

Yeah the market sucks atm...

But thats only cause the AUD is very strong against the Greenback atm...

Give it a few months and the price of imports will rise again a solid 15%...

I think ill hang onto mine until the US dollar re-gains strength...

What a load of shit!

How does the US dollar effect the price of cars that are already in the country?

Actually how does it effect the price of cars coming from Japan either?

If anything, a strong $AU makes things cheaper from overseas.

Back on topic :pirate:

I felt I got a reasonable price and a pretty quick sale.

Stronger $AU means cheaper importation which means cheaper prices on resale from both the cars coming in and the cars already here.

However, the primary problem with import resale is basic supply and demand. There were so many skylines and like vehicles imported pre the 89 ruling that they are now effectively a dime a dozen and nothing will change that. The price will level, but not rise and once they get older it will just continue to fall. Not to mention with the new P plate laws, the price will continue to fall as the next generation of teenagers realise they can't buy a skyline which, like it or not, accounts for much or at least some of the skyline market. Unfortunately for sellers the days of 20k r33's are well and truly gone, good for buyers though.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
