hey owned.. my car was bought from autoforce.. I have to say kevin did try everything he can to look after me.. and believe me I am a very pickky n fussy person.. hehe..

In fact just been there and came back today.. still have a couple of little things to be fixed. Apparently I got a fair good deal on my car according to some of me friends.

But before I got my car.. I had a full RACQ inspection and anything that is not right.. I got him to fix before I got me car or afterwards. ;)

Which car are u gettin btw?

Oh as a side note.. saw they have a new silver (or light gunmetal?) 34 in the yard today.. looks like its stock.. but has a pretty good lookin front bar on it.. if the new owner fits a big FMIC on it.. ooooooo phatness... :D

Autoforce is a bit expensive but it all goes to quality and stuff..

SVI is pretty good..up in virginia... they are cheap too, coz they do all the

compliancing themselves... (they gotta license for it or sumthing)

compliancing is up to like 4-5k atm, as opposed to 1-2k a year or two ago

Thanx EUG. How is the Line going. Hope is all well.

We dont recomend RACQ as they dont know Imported cars. We recomend you take it to any panel beater and any mechanical workshop before you buy the car we have no problem with that. Means you guys know what you are going to be buying plus we have Money Back Gaureentes in place if the car is not how it was descibed like in Japan. Very safe way to buy a car.

Yotis ... what bodykit is yours? and on that note ... do you reckon your side skirts and rear bar would look nice with the front bar of that silver R34 you saw? (as in the Tommy Kaira one)

If I come up wanna come with me and have a closer look and let me know your opinion? :D

dang.... I didnt have a closer look at the car last time... was only looking at the front bar :rant:

Well.. am sure you'll find one that will be to your liking.. just be patient (well.. try anyway.. )

If you come up again to check out other 34s gimme a yell, I'll try to accompany you since I

wouldn't mind checking out other 34s. :)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
