Only 3 things needed for the car to start, fuel, air and spark so it's one of those.

Air is pretty straightforward and I would even say difficult to have something wrong going on there. But maybe a faulty air flow meter or loose wiring loom. Try unplugging the AFM wire and plugging back in again in case the contacts have oxidized a bit.

Fuel can usually be figured out quickly by listening for the fuel pump prime when you switch the ignition on before cranking over. If no fuel pump noise, then check the fuel pump/relay etc.

Spark is a bit more difficult to test on Skylines (very easy on old cars with normal leads), but there are plenty of forum threads on how to do it.

Most likely it's the battery though especially after 2 months. It can have enough charge to turn the engine over at seemingly normal speeds but not have enough juice for the spark, so just listening for slow cranking does not always work when diagnosing the battery. Try jump starting it or charging the battery for a few hours and try again. If the battery's stuffed though, charging won't help.

Lead acid batteries die fairly quickly when they are sitting around not being drained or charged, that's why many motorcycle batteries have no fluid in them when you buy them, and you fill it up after you buy it.

    • 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.
