Got A Solution For Ppl Sick Of Skylines Being Stolen...


Recommended Posts

I have had 3 skylines .. a 33 series 1 a 33 series 2 and an r34 gtt.

Love the fact that they are 206 kw factory... hate the fac that someone wants to steal them every chance they can.

Insurance is expensive, some ppl dont even have insurance.

But where are you going to get a car with style with the following options;

200kw factory

AWD

Smooth look and feel...all the fruit you need!

4 Cylinder turbo, cheap to run, insure and register....

And stealth enought to not attract the attention of the law and criminals?

Ready to import now.. sub 20k....I am soooooo getting one.

Legnums are deff' the go if you want a turbo wagon 2.5 litre twin turbo V6 (6A-13) and they are cheaper, iron chef has a few from 10,800 to 14,500, that or a stagea.

still the soccer mums car but....

hmm ive read nothing but stolen r32/33/34's for months, now ive heard knife point car jackings and ram raids for a skyline.

I would rather have a caldina with the same power as a skyline but without all the bullshit any day..

And they look tough.

you know you can get up to a 2007 model one of these.

Yes the Iron Chef has a couple but they are pre 2002.

you can now pick up a Audi A4 b6 turbo quattro for mid 20 - 30's (avant if you are looking for wagon)

the pre 02 caldina looks poo and i doubt 03 onward will be any cheap

it really makes me wonder why imports?

when i had my S13 or r33 5,6 years ago

there were nothing in the market provide similar options, performance and style for under $60,000

imports were the obvious choice, as a shitty E36 318i costs more than a R33 gts-t

now they are no longer the most money for value

I still own one only because I am passionate about skyline

if I have to make a sensible change I would have a decent look around before I consider an import again

A soccer mums car is a toyota torago, or a an urban SUV/4wd.

Legnums and WRX Wagons and Caldina are not soccer-mum cars, they are hatches and wagons, furthermore, there is no such thing as "soccer" in Australia. its football. Soccer resides in the US.

    • 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.
