Hey guys I'm new to this forums stuff and don't quite understand it yet but anyway to the point.

Next year around may-juneish I'm gonna be looking at my first skyline to buy .

I'm wanting a r33 4 door cause I love the way the rear lights and light garnish looks.

So I was wondering what series I should preferably go for and and why and also how much I would be looking around ?

I know I want 5stud hubs and would prefer as stock as possible if anyone knows of anyone thinking of selling one next year would you please let me know:)

Thanks

Shane

Hey guys sorry about taking so long to reply I have owned a 2001 s15 and loved it but have always had a thing for sedans and rb's so when I found out about the 33 sedan looking so good my heart was set!

Idea was for a daily and then when I buy a house a few years down the track turn it into a drift car

32 4door to old to maintain

34 4door to expensive and hard to find manual

33 not to expensive but still reliable

Also cost wise would be looking around the 10k mark and don't have to much background knowledge on cars as I am a heavy plant mechanic but always planned on getting into performance and motorsports after some time up north

Hey Shane,

Have a read of this thread clicky

This will give a lot of good info to look for when buying a Skyline.

If your budget is $10k, I would look at the R34 four doors as there are a lot just under the $10k mark. In saying that, if you get the R33, you'll have cash left over for mods ;)

    • 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
