Cheers Andrew! Thanks for the offer :) I'm pretty sure he's organizing it interstate I think but if he does it here I'll let you know!

All 4 wheels are on now and I am fairly happy with the result, Rears do tuck in a fair bit but after all they where brought for my old maxima. Might look at lowering it onto 350z springs next and then might consider buying a new set of wheels to fit the car a bit better.P4110925_zps692ce8f3.jpg

^^ I look forward to selling you a Urethane Nismo front bumper bar very soon when you break your lip and rip your stock bar off :) .... the low life sucks without Urethane - I bend and scrape mine all the time and it just pops back into shape :) :) :)

Hi guys, one of my mates wants to get a V35 as well seeing mine. We went to Nagoya motors near Sutherland, NSW and saw quite a few V35s in different colors. I was surprised at the price as it seemed too low for the low kilometers. Most of them had around 40k-50k kms, where as I got my V35 a few weeks back from a different dealer but reliable and who i personally know, a few grand pricier with much higher kms (80k) with genuine japanese documents. (although mine did come with HID xenon lights and Fujitsubu performance exhaust). My understanding was that cars with such low kms would be quite expensive and not definitely $15k-$16k. Prestige imports who only import cars on order basis (they only collect the agency fee, everything else is paid by buyer) told me that genuine cars with such low KMs would cost higher in the auction and as a result the final price paid in Australia would be much higher. I wonder if those cars at Nagoya motors are clocked back.

I had a similar experience when shopping around for my V36. Some incredibly low kms (27,000 in one instance), but no paperwork to prove the veracity of the claims. I became wary, especially after reading about how common this 'winding back' of kms is. Finally found Road & Track in Silverwater, Sydney. The manager there, Gavin, only sells cars with all of the relevant Japanese paperwork. Provides much more comfort when laying out a significant sum of money!

    • 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
