Life after a Skyline ain't bad, I keep alternating between Supras and Skylines (had three of each now over the last few years), but got it out of my system now... I think... My R33 will be gone in about two months time as I'll flick it before the rego etc runs out so I'll find out then :P

Wranglers are abit of fun, but personally don't like them to drive, the Cherokee are a bit nicer to drive, and appear to have more power from the same engine (142Kw?).

yeah i had a vl turbo (yellow bt1 chaser) sold it and got a 4 runner then after 2 years of 4x4 i wanted to get back into vl so i sold 4x4 and bought r33 then i bought a 4x4 as well ...a nissan patrol and havnt been happier.Although r33's are fun climbing big rock walls and mud pits can sometimes match it.

;

but the sierra is a bit small, and the wrangler has a 4 litre 6 six cylinder  :P

I take it to Tassie every year for 10 days fishing and while it's a little cramped it will go anywhere. Plus mine is the coil sprung model so it's got great tractability.

I might even strengthen the internals next year and put a small huffer on it.

how about this for sale from unique auto sports :)

I wouldn't know what life would be like after a Skyline because i haven't owned one yet!

My plan is to get an R33 GTS-T and drive it for a few years while i'm young and still able to pull! Then i'll probably end up getting a 'sensible' car when i get a mortgage, probably something like a Golf GT TDi (6 speed, 150bhp, GT suspension and kit, modifyable to 180bhp and 280lb/ft, 45 mpg).

I know it may sound sad but i know of a guy in the UK that ran a GTS-T for 9 months and had to sell up because it cost him so much to run. He loved the car to bits, but he said the fuel economy and insurance costs just killed him financially.

    • 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.
