Just to upset the skewed curve of distribution...W427 :(

I am in no way complaining about the awesomeness of this garage, but if I was in a position to own this I'd have got them in different colours...or I'd be forever comparing shades of red!

love them both. if we were talking the monaro 427 that was supposed to go into production at $250K or an R35. I would have to say I'd go the monaro. I love my japanese cars and have had heaps of them inc R35 GTR but deep down I love my aussie monaro and reckon the 427 would be a goer with all the gear that was on them.

one of my favourite cars and i've been in some good ones over the years! I was gutted that they never went ahead with making more.

I mean just look at the engine in the thing...

Agreed...the Coupe 60 and the HRT427 were just sex on wheels in their own different rights. Coupe 60 had some beautiful and innovative styling cues (side exhausts on a street car, no B pillar and the bootlip spoiler) which would have been cool if they made it to production. HRT427 was a racing beast made for the street, that would have carried with it immense street cred. Pretty sure the unofficial quartermile on the HRT427 was 12 seconds flat. Of course, if you really want one there are a couple of Melbourne based companies who can get your CV8 pretty similarly set up to it.

That's exactly why I like this owner's garage. Evidence of no inherent and irrational bias towards a particular type of car...he's tasted the goods on either side and decided he likes both. Which is more than I can say for a couple of people on this forum :yes:

Unless of course it is his wife's car lol.

    • 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.
