Really? I know he's in Victoria but give Phill at Tokyo Prestige an email and see what he can do for you.

Were you after a mostly stock 2 door Turbo manual? Coz when i got mine he said for a turbo manual coupe i'd be looking at around 14k. I only had 10 to play with so I opted for a 4 door, Turbo with an auto but have since changed it to manual for 900 bux :)

Carbon 34

I have a series 2 build date 9/2000 and there is a mountain of things that differ, garrett labeled turbos to start with 206ps cams are the torque increase, bigger smic , electronics are different us

Most of the differences I have listed are just things i have noticed as I use to have a series 1 & now I have a series 2. A few of the other things like torque figures I got from this sales brochu

Alright thanks for that, will check that place out!

Yes, mostly stock 2 door turbo manual series 2 in black (GTT). pretty specific...and perhaps that's what is driving my price up! I'd pay around 14k depending on what has been done to the car (or not done), but definitely setting a limit to nothing higher than that.

You are going to struggle to find a series 2 for 15k, when I was looking there were 6 for sale in the country.

I bought mine for 18k in July & that was one straight off the boat from an importer in Sydney.

You will be able to buy a series 1 privately for that sort of money for sure.

Black and blue series 2 are rare finds

Most are white, yellow , red

Good luck finding a series 2 in good nick , lower km for under 18-20k the prices are sliding up a bit now for good examples

I ordered a black one for the wiff ( ex now.lol) but it was destroyed in the container shipment

The series 2 is a more refined car with some decent options , the biggest drawback is the ghey front bar and the huge pissweak wing on some

dont take off the wing that makes them look boring like a camry lol

Gtr wing , jun tall stands , carbon blade , led modified 3rd light embedded in the wing looks nice :-) but I'm partial haha

yeah i've realised that (though it's definitely possible). the real question is what makes the S2s worth the few grand extra? the answer is...not much

It really is not worth it. I loved my series 1 just as much as I love this one. The only reason I wanted a series 2 is because my series 1 got stolen & I didnt want to buy the exact same car, i wanted something a little newer & a little different so the series 2 was perfect.

Troy, how did it get destroyed and how did you fix it?!? that's kind of ridiculous...

The container tipped on its side on the ship, smashing the side front to rear , I never accepted it and had a white one on order after hearing the news , the white one had more options but cost about 6k more lol

just a pain in paperwork and time from japan

The wiff left after ordering it so she kept the r31

I sold my RZ tt supra and kept the skyline

Didn't cost me a thing just hassle , you must insure it for transit if your smart

Worked out the white one was much better anyway

Redbook is pointless unless your car is traded into dealer or wrecked , some car loan companies base that on loan value , but skylines will pull what ever the market bears and condition

That is wholesale prices in most cases

I actually wanted mine in Yellow but the yellow ones with same specs as mine were 2k more as it was supposed to be rare, so i settled for blue pearl.

After owning a series 2 for 6 months & starring at the boost gauge every time I drive the car I have only just noticed the series 2 boost gauge does not read in KG/CM2.

It reads in KPA

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
