$23000+ around i think? not sure, cuz the car is still in Japan, so I dont know how much more it would cost me for the compliance and shipping etc.

Got this car through a high school friend, he didn't charge me for the agent fee, so yeah, got lucky! but all thanx to him, saved me all the hassles!! :D

Hi mate first of all, congrats with the car.

But, I think you paid way too much for it. I could've easily got you a late 1997 series 3 R33 GT-R Vspec in immaculate condition with similar milage for way under 20k. Your one is just a Series 1 and the absence of the Vspec sticker could even mean that it's not a Vspec at all, it happens often. Make sure you check that it has the Vspec active diff with the active diff light on the cluster and Vspec suspension.

When it comes to making money, sometimes friends could be just like most people.

Let me know if you need another car, I can help you and you'll be paying the real car cost, not the inflated one.

Good luck

the only mod that I've got for my car is air pod, exhaust (no cat?! :D )and suspension...and yeah, even though it doesn't have the VSPEC sticker, I am pretty sure it's the vspec model, I've got the photo to prove it :(

btw, my friend is actually charging me 19800 AUD all up for everything, instead of 23000+ AUD :P

That car probably cost less than $14000 plus FOB or 'everything' of around $1000. All up in Japan should be around $15k or less.

It's also a good idea to get the timing belt replaced once you get it. From the photo it doesn't look like it has been replaced. The Japs usually put a sticker on the timing belt cover showing when it was changed after they've replaced the timing belt.

    • 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.
