Nissan never officially made a 4dr GTR, my understanding is Autech got hold of a few 4dr models and dropped a few GTR bits into them (namely engine and 4WD) and then sold them through Nissan dealerships.

The wikipedia page has a dodgy photo of one but you get the idea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autech

Anyways, spotted a maroon R33 near Woden Hospital today after midday, think it had a GTR kit on it.

that one at Trojan is a replica very nice job tho. looks good

Pretty insane replica if it is, its got the flared rear gaurds and front gaurds, noting the rear gaurds which i would think would cost a fortune to replicate......

The guys at trojan said the tag says its 1 or 40 ever made....

Very original, although not sure about the gtr badges on the back, had the gtr wheels, rb26, leather bucket seats, flared arches, console gauges etc.

so nice, ultimate sedan!

Yep Zane, new diff and a retune for me. Apparently she's on the dyno as I type :wave: Been a while since I've been able to run it on full boost (not sure why, curious as to the reason). Anyway - can't wait!

Alex: Eep... just go back and ask em to put em back on haha. They probably got distracted when they found the other stuff wrong! Coulda been worse :)

Ben, I'd be very curious to find out what your boost issue is mate as I'm going through a very similar thing (booked into Trojan next Tuesday to hopefully sort it)...

Turns out I didn't really have a boost issue, just that my greddy profec was upset by my turbo spooling up fast and making it think it was overboosting... or something to that effect... John fixed it by fiddling with the gain a bit. Still have the same power I think (yet to really give it a hard go and use the pantsometer :sick: ). I wouldn't be surprised if your issue is something else. Tell ya what though, a new diff feels pretty nice! Feels a bit more like a go-kart

Sounds good Ben, I'll be keeping a close eye on your rear diff experiences with chattering etc.

Yeh, I think my boost issue is different. Even without the boost controller connected (std wastegate pressure) i make about 19psi... So we are changing the Dump pipe next Tuesday and putting it back on the dyno.

    • 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.
