I have had mine for 6 weeks now and I have had zero problems. So I would look for genuine k's, pics of the undercarriage for any rust and get a reputable import broker if you are going this way (Iron Chef...Awesome!!)

Also, if you are tall (over 6') do not get a sunroof!!!!

Agree with the above. The sunroof version is a bit tight if you are 6' . I think Dave is 6'2" . I had trouble getting into his car as well as two others that were similar.

Given these are 5-6 yrs old now I would watch the kms. Some are genuine low km versions like Daves but there are some that are on the high side as well. A good broker is an asset when buying this car.

Also buy it without the navigation package. (See FAQ)

Hi Guys - I was going to be a complete smart ar*e and write 'look out for a naked hot blonde chick in the passenger seat....probably wont be there....but look out for it nonetheless'......

....and then realised that someone was adding value with their commentary. So.....

For the terminally imbecilic amongst us (that would be me) - can someone explain how the sunroof model would be worse than the non-sunroof model? Having no appreciation of this....does this mean that the roof lining is actually lower, due to the bulk of the sunroof mechanism? Is it much of a difference between the two?

You'd think the japanese would orient themselves (no pun) towards export markets a little more - between the US (a major Infiniti importer), the UK, Aus, NZ and everywhere else where these may be sold, you'd think that they may appreciate that the rest of the world is not 5'4"!

roof heights differ majorly. no sunroof and I fit in the car. sun roof version I literally hit the roof unless I drop the seat to the bottom of its limit.

cheers chris - out of interest - does the same apply for the convertible (OK, I appreciate you can take the roof off.....sometimes)?

Never been in a Infiniti coupe can't comment. Didn't know the UK spec car was available here.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

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

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
