After joining SAU in 2008 and looking around for the last 2 years (and playing with my 1977 Celica), I finally jumped in and bought a 2005 (first reg 2007) V35 Sedan through Prestige. Car is in Brisbane at compliance and hopefully will arrive in Adelaide soon. :ermm: Car has only 12000 km so should be in good nick (I hope!)

No doubt I'll be asking questions soon! I"m hoping like hell the car comes with more than one key (have followed that post with interest) and that I have no hassles with window motors, etc. Will also have to choose a servicing centre in Adelaide at some stage in the next 6 months, so have also been looking at the recommendations on the forum.

Congrats on you buying a V35 skyline. I know how you are feeling at the moment. I saw my car on Monday just, before it got shipped to the compliance shop. Just waiting for the people to sign the papers really kills you. Making you wondering when are they going to be done. But, thats my story anyway Congrats on purchasing your very own skyline hope you get a good quality one and enjoy driving it. :verymad::happy::happy::happy:

Sounds like a nice car, I have a few in Japan at the moment so if you know of anyone else maybe a friend I have them starting at 340,000JPY FOB uncomplied ($4543 AUD) I also have a little over 1500 other vehicles in stock so delivery is very fast, let me know if I can help. Also I should add that I purchase vehicles direct in Japan as well via all auctions sites in Japan through our own links and should anyone you know want a particular vehicle I am happy to either guide them through or purchase on behalf and I charge no fee for this what you pay for the vehicle at auction is your end price, I am aware others charging up to $1000 which is outrageous......

    • 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.
