Hey guys,

I'm coming over to you guys here in VIC over this weekend as a mate of mine is looking to buy an import.

We would just like to know the different yards around, so we can check them out whilst we're there.

thanks for your help

both my mate and i are mechanics and know the common problems with 33s and rb25s

we'll be on the plane friday morning and touching down roughly 8:30am

here's a link to the car:

its in the Japcars yard in Fawkner

the car is currently on hold for us with an internet banking deposit :D

if we're not happy we'll just move along. i have also heard that this yard requires a deposit before test driving anyways

thanks for the help guys, but i'm sure there's plenty more import yards around? surely

need to know the other yards with locations so we can have a gander

Check out Southern Special Vehicles (SSV) in Oakleigh down in SE area. 2 weeks ago when I went to pick up my V35 I saw a white R33 there. Pretty clean. Best to give them a call and ask if they have any R33 for sale.

If he has a look at the condition of their cars for sale and the prices... he'll make up his own decision anyway.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
