Built Qulity...

Great Look even More than 10 year old R32 or R33's

Everything is electronic... tell me what other aussie V8 cars have at that time corrosponding to when skylines came out.

2pot Brakes or even big size brake disks

Electronic aircon

Electric mirrors and windows

after market upgrades....etc..etc.

I can go on and on

And what does your wife think about having to share your love with a hunk of metal? :)

She's just glad it's a car, and not some other late-model Japanese...

LOL @ Rezz....

What is Irashaimase!?

is it like random shouting? like...

Daidokoro...!!!!

Irashaimase is what shop/restaurant owners say when you enter their shop/restaurant.

Daidokoro (kitchen) is definately a random thing to shout out... you done that before have you Pva?:)

My budget had a ceiling of $20k. I started looking at mid late 90's celica... Nice looking, toyota reliable, probably handle nice. Then also at Honda Prelude mid 90's again nice looker, Honda superb build qual and reliability. But they were not enough - stock 1/4 mile not very fast.

Enter the skyline. Obsession. Mmm 187kw standard 0-100 6.21 1/4 14.4 poss wow all this and a beautiful looking car, with loads of Jap gizmos and legendary Nissan reliability (had a VL be4 50% jap of course) I was sold.

People keep saying how nice it looks. I take it for a fang up MT Glorious close the redline oh it goes nice. Makes driving an experience not a chore like it used to b.

Cant wait to get my twin dump, full 3 inch and hiflo cat shortly.

The build quality is superb i mean its 8 years old but it dont look like it someone who knows nothing bout skylines would say it looks like an exotic $60k+. Lol all for $20k. No regrets. Big fan.

I am korean, there are long history between Japanes and Koreans...especially more elderly persons.

I would like to discuss it why that is...

I've forgiven Japs long ago... but if I ask my grand parents. they dont encourrage it.

I dont know if you get the histoty Rezz.

cheers

at first i liked it cause it just looked good ... then came the chicks ... they loved it ... they were like .. oh u drive a skyline?? sweeet :) ... for some reason a skyline just makes u look that much better :) ... u can be ugly as but as soon as u get seen in one ... you're almost brad pitt :) ... and then its the power and moddability ... u get respect on the road ... u guys ever drive in a small shit car lately?? notice how everyone cuts u off the road ... well they dont' do that to u when u drive your skyline LOL ;)

Would have to be the heritage for me. I've only been into cars for a few years but i used to think that skylines were those big boxy skyline gxe's and crap like that, r30 and 31 series. Then i started to do a bit of research and found out how the car demolished the group A series, won every race in japan and bathurst too. Was then that i realised this is a machine not to be taken lightly. It has since made its way into my list of favourite cars :), the original godzilla anyway

Da tail lights are sexyyyyyyy as!!!

Its fast, it looks the part and damn... just such a nice car. With an Rx7 and a Supra... the 3 best cars in the world have been made.

Which one tops it... duno, but i love Skylines...

    • 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.
