hi,

cool 'module' Ryan. were the 33's special imports to the US, or were they sold through Nissan [new car] dealerships?. I spend a fair amount of time in the US [latest trip, 6 months last year], but haven't seen a R32, R33 or a 34 on the road.

regards

G'day ryan,

I'm from south eastern Victoria... Nice car, it's even got the steering wheel on the correct side :)

Which kinda answers changi's questions.

Track car only? or are you getting wierd looks for sitting in the wrong seat when you stop at the lights?

  • 4 months later...

some company called "motorex" was importing skylines - they went into receivership

i read all the police reports online regarding all the victims that lost there cars before they got hold of them

far as i know that was the only way you could get one in the usa?

but for the most part this is my track car

i drive it once and a while up the road a bit to get cigs and that's about it

umm ya hopefully i have coming from japan it should be here next month

but if something happens to it or it never comes

then i would be more than appreciative of your help :P

but ya skylines are suuuuuper rare here

i think there is less than 150 here in the states (registered)

from what i've heard

not too sure about that number because i haven't really checked it out myself

but i've never seen another one on the streets

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
