for a Skyline, TECHNICALLY you have to take it to Dickson RTA, though I'll post up my results soon from taking mine elsewhere, lol...

no you dont... only if you have excessive mods. only reason i had to take my car over dickson was because of the coilovers, if i didnt have them then i could have gone anywhere to get it done

you only have to take a car to dickson if its modified. if it is bog standard any blue slip shop can do it. basically the only mods you can have if you take it anywhere other than dickson is an exhaust and a pod filter.

The RTA website listing approved inspection stations says that if it's modified or IMPORTED. Though this website is wrong for many things, so that could be incorrect.

But seeing as Skylines are imported, y'kno...oh well, I'll still post results when I take it to Lanyon next week.

  • 2 weeks later...

Had mine done at Lanyon, passed . Very happy with how easy it was, PM if you want to know any details about my car that were overlooked. Failed first round on tint (5% lol) and second round didn't even worry about looking, took my word that I got it removed I think. Good guy, obviously appreciates courtesy and respect.

Would recommend.

can someone clarify this?

i got R34 N/a (just muffler modfication), should i go to Dickson or just any regular inspection shops?

if i can go to any shops, i'll take off my coilovers, pass the inspection, get the rego, and install the coilovers again.

anyway, what details the look after? currently my car sounds like WRX (i dont know the problem yet), and i need to pass it asap as i use it to work everyday. is it a big deal?

thanks.

    • 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.
