Hello Mates -  

I am an exchange student from Boston, Massachusetts USA and I will be studying at the University of NewCastle between February 10th and July 5th. I have NEVER seen a skyline in person and I would KILL for a ride. If anyone would be nice enough this would honestly make this yanks day. Please email me at [email protected] if you would be nice enough! ALSO I have AIM: Screen name - OneDollarShrimp

Thanks!

if only i was american

if only i was american
LMAO, WHY??????? :cheers:

Just take one look at the US and then Australia... I'll give you a good example why it's better to be an Aussie... WE GOTS DA SKYLINES!!!! :) They might have the bomb, but hell, we still got the 'Lines.

I seriously think we should get onto this ride day idea, it'd be a good day out. Invite some charities, rent a track or somewhere, people who bring GTRs get in free (coz they'll be playing chauffer all day), charge admission and a free ride in a GTR and BBQ, and give any profits to the charities. If anything, it makes the day of a few little kids who need some cheering up.

It's not actually that bad of an idea...

Bit of good press, some money to charity...

The Godzillathon - Brown-underpants for charity day.

Hmmm...

Had a rally club open day where for $10 to charity the locals could come along for 2 rides in rally cars, everthing from datto 1200's to Evos. One guy got the ride of his life when the newly finished S2 rx7 flipped onto its roof...ouch. Best 10 bucks he ever spent.

I'm having withdrawals...no go fast car, just a stock 'line and soarer. Can someone take me for a ride in a GTR...it's been years, honest.

PranK you a downhill shredding dude? Or is the dually just for the northern beaches? (yep thread hijack) Sand must be a bastard :D in the cassette. Roadie myself. Giant of course. 02 TCR Team ONCE. Worth a squillion apparently. Carbon forks 1.1kg. Alloy Frame 0.7 kg...feels like papier mach'e.

So back to cars

Wow I cant wait to get to Australia...this is going to be AWESOME you guys are all so nice. I am going to be in Cairns (I need to learn how to pronounce that word) for orientation for 3 days..and i have 2 nites off...anyone out there that can give this bugger a ride?

SKYLINE FEVER

Were abouts are you staying in cairns an when you coming over ??

also what days will you be here?

(I live in Cairns) :D

Are talking smokey and the bandit style? lol :rofl:

"Godzilla Vs The Cops: Riding a 'line from Cairns to Coolangatta... the long way"

:wassup:

Kinda reminds you of that underground movie of the Ferrari going through Paris (anybody remember the name of that?)

Maybe we could get Nissan to fund this like they did "The Run" with the new Z??? lol

If you go into newcastle foreshore for the laps and you see my plates: DJ984... then flag me down and i'll take you for a lap...

I'm not there everyweekend and my car's not a GTR but feel free to flag me down...

Cheers,

Dave.

This is the coolest thing I have ever had happen to me...if I went on a Ferrari or Porsche board in the States people would be like "get a job and earn a ride" - you guys kick ass. I will be in Australia Feb 5th through July 3rd. And YES I am all for a "Chasing the Skyline down the Coast" roadtrip. I WISH I could say I have even seen a skyline in person..the closest I came was when I almost drove 4.5 hours to New York City to the MTV studios where they were auctioning off a Skyline for some movie...I am in LOVE with skylines...feed my addiction. I will buy beer/women/fuel for the driver :(

I do a pretty good job of scaring my ass here in the states, I got a 1996 Nissan Maxima thats pushing about 300 HP at the wheels...BUT I would LOVE to be scared by a screaming turbo and white smoke pouring of the rear tires of a beautiful skyline...ahhh to be in love.

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
