My first taste of boost was in a S13 180sx that did 14.1 1/4 mile times. I loved it. Made me make the desision to buy my GTS-t.

Its funny when someone has there first ride in a quick jap car. I find that if you take someone for a ride and their past fastest car experiance is "Their uncles 95 SS Commodore" then you can really make them go quiet.

Or even better you can let them drive it on a cold night and then when they get out the car tell them to hold there hand still. Its so funny when you can see their hands (knees too sometimes) shakeing from the adrenalin rush.

My first taste of boost was in my car the day I test drove it, a r33 gtst boost was wound up to something stupid like 16 pound for a stock turbo, and my mate drove it first he is a mechanic for mercedes got it side ways round the first corner we got to, sold me the car straight away :)

I had no idea about turbos or anything i was like WTF is that noise lol me a noob

Could never live without it now

i think mine was in my mates Toyota Celica 1980 sedan metalic black with nice chrome simmons mags with a 3T-GTE 1.8L twin spark running 12psi.. i was 14 and it felt bloody quick. i think it ran a 13.5. now i'm a proud owner of a 4WD skyline :)

Mine was in a mates dad's Porsche 944 Turbo... Im 14 at a mates place and he says, " you know how to drive a manual dont you ?" Next thing we are driving down Spit road in a new 944 doing like 120km....Dumb things I did.

Drove around for about 2 hours and then put the car back. No damage and the dad never knew...I learnt that these cars have very small gates in their shifts. I kept going 1st, 2nd, 5th...doh

Fastest was a 10sec 13B RX4...wow I will always have respect for rotors.

heheh mine was in a 90 toyota surf ssr turbo diesel, slow as buggery.. then the turbo kicked in... still slow as buggery :(

I diddent get the proper taste until I bought my 300zx TT, a friend let me drive one of his R32 Gtst's, and I can get my v-spec gtr when plates are available

    • 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.
