Hey all,

Unfortunatly I am going to have to sell my R32 GTS4, things have changed and I am going to need something more practical, something I can park on the street... Anyways, the car has been my project for the last 8 months and has just gotten 6 months rego and has 130k on the clock - if it has been wound back I doubt it was by much. The engine has been replaced with a low k's import which has had all the gaskets replaced, new timing belt and water pump. Mods are limited to a heavy duty clutch, walbro fuel pump, RB25 turbo, and R34 intercooler - running 10psi atm and ready for more.

The body is pretty damn straight, a few blemishes I will get to later - but for now it has the factory type M body kit, and some rather unfortunate mirrors (easily replaced) stock wheels with new Federal tires (I have only done a few k's on them). To get it sorted for rego I have replaced a handful of ball joints and dropped in a hicas lock bar (everything removed and ps fluid routed thru the cooler) In the rear there is some coilovers (I will check the brand later) and stock in the front, the hks coilovers that were there are too stiff for my liking - but I did just spend $350 on new strut tops because the original ones with spherical bearings were worn out.

Interior is in good nic, the steering wheel, gear shift and h/brake boots dont have much wear, the carpets

(under the original mats) are the same, and the dashboard has none of the usual bubbles.

Now the bad, the coilpacks have just this week given up. I have pulled them out and sealed them up which has drastically improved things, but it still misses - I just cant afford to throw new spitfires at it, so it doesnt get driven. The car was left outside by its previous owner and the roof has bubbled a bit after a really hot day, just needs the roof to be resprayed. Oh, and it needs a wheel allignment - I will try and get this done soon however.

So spend about an extra $1k on it and it will be a really great car

I am chasing about $9,000 for it, negotiable for a quick easy sale. I would like to keep it and finish it off, but I have some pressing priorities like finding somewhere to live and buying a bed. The car will be garaged in Hobart till its sold, and has just had a service with platinum plugs, motul 4100 oil and filter.

I dont have a mobile phone at the moment, so best way to cantact me is via PM, and I will give you a call or whatever. Thanks for looking ;)

Pictures: It was a bit wet today, so I will get some more photos next weekend if I have some time

Swaps: I am keen to get a subaru liberty wagon (has to be manual) an old school one is fine, but I would probably want some dollars thrown in. Or mabey a forester if you are keen, but I dont have any money to send your way.

Thanks Josh, it is the car I have always wanted and it sux I have to sell it, but life is what happens when you make other plans eh'

Also I decided to bite the bullet and have ordered a set of coil packs for it - Looks like I will be sleeping on the old inflatable mattress for a bit longer :) ...but at least I can sell it running sweetly

Spoke too soon - The buyer has backed out last minute due to funding difficluties! So she goes back up for sale.

Currently running like a dream - everything is totally sorted and is a great drive :starwars: I am rather negotiable on price at the moment too becase I foolishly went and jumped the gun and put a deposit on another car. So give me a shout if you are interested on 0410 007 392, thanks guys!

    • 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
