Hi, I can't remember your nick, but you had a dark coloured R33 GTST with an Alpine TV and DVD player. My mate had the white Tommy Kaira R33, I was the one who closed your boot rather roughly. (sorry) Anyway you mentioned being able to get things cheaper off Yahoo Japan. He's interested in getting an Alpine TV like yours, (especially) an Apexi Power FC computer and possibly a FMIC. Is there a site that I could look at to get these items, or I think you said something about having a contact who could organise it? Thanks for your help.

yeah it's the bodykit that's different, Tommy Kiarara written everywhere inside.

This R32, was set on 16psi..but found out it was detinating, so have brought it back down to 14psi. Until it gets remapped. But yeah spins a bit for sure..

I better shut up about his car now, he'l tell me off for being a big mouth! ha.

The 33 Tommy Kaira Stang is talking about used to be owned by my b/f's brother who sold it to John a few months ago as he wanted to buy a house.

Tommy Kairas have the huge front and massive rear wing which Troy got rid of cos he said it resembled a shopping trolley. We both bought our cars from the same place in the same week! I wasn't sure on what to get as they had black and white 33 Tommys there at the time - but I settled for mine cos it had lower k's, was cleaner etc etc.

We reckon it definitely has a cam or hi flow or something cos it gets up and goes like no other 33 I've ever been in. Makes mine feel like a slug!!!

Iam the one with the R32 Tommy Kaira.It has a gtr gear box, vielside computer,full tommy bodykit including adjustable wing. Other things that have been added are tein adjustables,bigger turbo,aftermarket intercooler,electronic boost controll and the list goes on.I bought the car a few weeks ago and definetly have no regrets exept iam told that vielside computers cant be remapped

a while ago when i was skyline hunting, i saw what appeared to be a white r33 tommy kaira at redline motorsports - was asking something like

30k, but it wasnt my taste i.e bodykit. But if i had known its potential over gtst dammnn i would have bought it. btw it looked nice, Tommy kiara written all over it - interior and exterior, as someone mentioned.

Nozila - thats where it came from - he didn't pay anywhere near 30 for it though!

I considered buying it too but the kit wasn't exactly to my taste either...I opted for the boring M Spec instead. And the Tommy had heaps of stuff done to it when it came to Australia and I didn't particularly want a car that had been modded.

When it came here it had a huge FMIC and aftermarket computer, and all the goodies. They couldn't even get it to run on Aussie fuel so they had to remove the computer and they also removed the FMIC for some reason to try and get it to run.

Probably sold all of the gear from it to make a bit of extra cash!!

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
