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...

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.

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

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
