If you haven't already discovered it, another great read is Aki's blog. It has good enthusiast info from a lot of Japanese articles, sources and resources, and discusses all the skyline GTR models.

Oh yeah, I found his blog a while back. It's great! I hope my blog goes on to have the same longevity as his lol.

I don't think it's necessary to segregate 32/33/34. Let's face it, they are so similar that knowledge from one can 99% of the time be transposed to the other.

Maybe not segregate between 32/33/34 but at least have a clearly defined section for them as a whole to distinguish it clearly from the R35 or older Skylines. I know I was confused about where to post when I first came to SAU because I could see a clearly labeled R35 section but no similar defined section for the R32/33/34 - maybe something like "R32/33/34 General" would help so that questions specific to an area of the car like the powertrain or exterior can still go to a specific section.

Honestly I still find it confusing to see some posts get started in "Vehicle Specific Discussion" and others go into "General Automotive Discussion" when they're all actually about Skylines. Like these threads for example:

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458178-r34-gt-r-australian-market/

They're both basically the same - a guy asking about an Australian R34 he's considering buying but they're in two different sections. What should be the deciding factor? Wouldn't it make more sense to have similar threads like that in one section?

Here's an interesting new twist in the Motorex saga - another importer in the US, Rivsu Imports, has been able to convince JK Technologies to work with them to import an R33 GT-R LM. So far it's just a one-off but this at least brings up the possibility of more R33's now being imported, although probably at a hefty cost. I posted about it on my blog here:

    • 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.
