hay guyz fuli saw ur kewl forum and decided to join coz i love the turbo pshhh sound.

Just Kidding.

I'm Tim, a long time member of the R31 skyline club (SILO-31), just thought i'd sign up to the SAU to broaden the possibility of more cruises and more information about our favourite model of auto machine.

I've owned 2 skylines in the past, my first was a 1987 Series 2 R31 Silhouette, 5 speed manual, 2.5inch exhaust, K&N filter and 98 chip, lowered springs. Was a great car, well looked after and always drove well, one wet afternoon i had the stereo up a bit loud and wasn't consentrating, went round a corner a little to fast and the rear stepped out, by the time i corrected it just enough to narrowly miss a tree she aimed straight for a gutter.

A few weeks later i decided i was to wreck my old car and buy a new one, i came accross a straight 1988 Series 3 R31 Silhouette, terrible paint and a bit of rust but it drove well, i had a few plans for it but i'm starting to work alot more and dont have time to modify it, id rather have something 98% completed i can drive and enjoy.

So that said, in a few weeks the car will be up for sale and i'll be in the market for a Naturally Aspirated R33 GTS.

Cheers, Tim. :D

    • 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.
