Haha thanks! I got this direct from an importer. International Motor Group i believe they are called, really outstanding service thus far i couldn't be happier :P I can understand your excitement, i cant wait until next week!

Holy Carp, what do you do to own the cars you do at that age? ^^^

OP: Very nice :P Given free reign, that's exactly the car I would buy. Yeah chuck on an exhaust, but plan thoroughly if you're gonna mod it :P

Honestly i've just been lucky having an opportunity to make reasonable money earlier on, i'm actually a uni student. I am thinking very carefully about mods, at this stage i'm going to get Cam gears, Power FC D-Jetro (Spelling?) and a full exhaust (Dumps / cat etc) as they get a huge power and potential increase from those mods from what i've been told. After that i'll be happy for a fair while i think :)

PowerFC D-Jetro? No.

You want a standard PowerFC. The D-Jetro is for people who replace their AFM's with MAP sensors and this is not something you want to do on your car. Maybe if you were chasing 900awhp

From those mods you will pickup a little hp from the ECU mostly.

Don't bother replacing the dumps the R34 GTR dumps are great and stainless from the factory, you don't need to change these until you do the turbos. Plus they come with great heat shields to keep the heat inside the exhaust improving engine bay temps and exhaust gas flow.

Also - to be honest - I wouldn't buy cam gears. The simple reason is you will probably want cams down the track and it is cheaper to buy the cams and cam gears in a set from Tomei.

So my advice is,

- standard PowerFC - These are cheap as chips for BNR34

- New big Catco metal cat - $440 from JustJap

- Cat back exhaust - Kakimoto or HKS

- Front pipes - HKS

Any more than that and you will need a new clutch, Nismo Super coppermix twin plate is the only one to get imo - $2k mark.

Then later do turbos(HKS), cams+gears(tomei), dumps(tomei) and go nuts

Thanks for that advice mate, appreciate it! Glad i didn't spend money where i didn't have to! I'll get some prices and sort out the exhaust first up :spank:

    • 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.
