Hey, just need to get something off my mind. 

Im riding a 94 civic sedan VTi at the moment. Looking to upgrade in 6-8 months to a larger car with more speed. I really like the look of skylines and the power that they have. And i know it is going to cost more to maintain and run it and insure it over my civic. But is it really that bad? Im on my 2nd year on P's, and havent had any trouble on the street. And i got a job that is paying me 26 a hour. 

Also is it hard to find a 4 door skyline, prefer r33, manual, turbo, clean not much engine mods etc. Wanting to go for a cruiser with abit of power. What price range should i be looking out for cause i know there are alot of overpriced skylines. 

Not in a rush, just want to prepare myself.

hey arjay,

im actually trying to sell my 32 4 door at the moment, i know its not a 33. (but i think the 32's are nicer anyway)

its got a few mild mods, hi flow turbo, zorst, fuel pump, fmic. its had a recent respray too.

with insurance, i got it 3 years ago when i was still on my p's and full cop thru just car was just over 2 grand.

one thing you might want to check is if its actually legal for you to drive on your p's.

anyway heres a pic of mine, you can pm me if your interested, im asking about 12 for it.

Go 4 an R33 4 Door. I have had R32 4 Door but the R33 4 door I have now is a much nicer car with better running gear. Nobody is really importing them anymore as you can buy them in Aus for around $9k to $11k and thats how much it would cost you to import and compliance a tidy Series 1 one from Japan. You also get the bonus of never being pulled over as they just look like any normal late model 4 door car unless you put "look at me wheels" or "Wank Wank Wanker" 110db exhaust on it. Dont pay more then $11k for a Series 1 and $13k for a Series II but you can get tidy cars for as low as $8500 like this one

    • 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.
