Depends weather or not you are doing the labor yourself ...

Parts aren't all that expensive for R32's ya just gotta know where to source ya parts from ...

Im building up an R32 GTS auto atm ...

Just replaced the R32 auto gearbox with a replacement auto gearbox out of an R33 GTS-T series 2

The gearboxes are exactly the same the only difference between the boxes is you will have to use your R32 speedo in the R33 gearbox as the R33 uses a Digital speedo unit ...

the reason i wanna keep mine and turn into a gts-t is cause my car isnt worth much and soon im gonna need to put a new engine in it anyway weather it is a standard gts or convert it to gts-t cause its done alot of ks which i dont think anyone would buy in such a hurry and i just started putting bodykit on it etc its got to many mods i like to wanna have to go through the trouble to do again like mods not to do with engine.

I know what ya feel like dude ...

My GTS has a few mods under it's belt allready hence the reason why I dont want to sell and buy a GTS-T I would rather keep modding my GTS

my list :-

Pedders Sportsrider lowered suspention all round

Full Nolathane bush kit for the whole car

R33 N/A rear brakes

Larger upgraded red rear swaybar (pedders item most likely)

Japanese aftermarket adjustable strut brace up front

has a K&N pod filter

has a 2.5" catback exhaust with canon muffler

R33 series 2 - 4spd Automatic gearbox with R33 series 2 Torque converter and Driveplate and stage 2 shiftkit valvebody upgrade

So the car is starting to be setup for more power allready the gearbox can handle more power ...

Next on my list is Z32 300zx 4 piston front calipers and fit them to my GTS knuckles and still use the stock 274mm front discs and 4 stud hubs ... will be running 17" wheels to allow for the larger calipers

that should see me stop well ... the GTS-T brake discs are 5 stud and 280mm so there is only a 6mm difference in size which aint really much at all hence why I want to stay 4 stud and keep a few people guessing ...

if you want a decent upgrade grab some Z32 brake calipers, or even just the GTSt calipers. and a bigger brake booster, helps abit

    • 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.
