BTW Kasey reduce the average sale prices by 10-15k for the blown motor and you'll be about right. Not sure who came to the conclusion that head work is required, it is almost certainly a bottom end rebuild that is required including new bearings and probably boring out the cylinders to remove the scores (which will also require aftermarket oversize pistons). Not a big deal, but not minor either...been there, done that before

Where is the car, I've been keeping an eye out for something that has original bits but needs some work.

Also, this forum is probably the best place to sell it to a genuine buyer that understands why it is worth more than imported GTRs.

Hi Duncan,

I think my stepfather did get a quote to have the work done, the details are sketchy it was a number of years ago and it is tough to get an understanding at this point. The car is in Castle Hill, Sydney. I am actually in NZ but my brother is in Sydney and could show you the car if you wanted to have a look. I have always been told that he brought the car new, he is quite pedantic so i would assume everything would be as original as practically possible. I know the stereo stopped working a few years ago and someone nicked the GTR badge off the boot but should be in good condition otherwise. Although it really has been forgotten about for the last few years, as they have had bigger priorities to deal with. We were trying to weigh up whether to fix it and get it back on the road or not before selling but again we have other priorities

Let me know if you want to have a nosey at it, [email protected]

Hi Kasey,

I too live in Castle Hill (Cherrybrook/Dural side) and as an owner of 2 ADM's and one V-Spec 2, I would be only too happy to inspect the car and give you a fair evaluation as to its worth.

I'd love to see Duncan buy the car so rest assured I have no intention of cutting his grass! :worship: :worship: :worship:

I'll send you an email containing my contact details.

Regards,

Bob.

someone posted on the sau fb page that the tail lights were quoted at $1100 so looks like its getting parted for good money for the wrecker.

also someone calling them R34 style lights...... sigh

OK......... Just to clarify,

The owner bought 2 ADMs within 5 days of each other.

The one in the picture is a stolen/recovered, not the car mentioned on here in post 1125.

The tail lights are from a silver car he bought late last year.

To the best of my knowledge, neither car will be wrecked, certainly not the Castle Hill car.

A few pics I took when I inspected the car.

Cheers,

Bob.

Check out post 1036 here - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/343750-aussie-delivered-r32-gtrs/page-52

One of the VINs was a typo so a fews cars went back one spot.

    • 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
