BOSE is the best! dunno bout the car systems but home systems rule! so small yet so loud!z

pffft! try find any car audi shop that sells bose stuff!

Bose is good for home systems, but the 1 in the rx7 can build yourself with alpine, focal stuff that would sound 10 times better for a few thousand

yeah akeenan, u r right, i was going to get a R33 GTS-T but remember the whole parents thing...so they said i gotta wait a year, and yeah i know this whole thing is only going to be relevant next November, but i just thought that i'd get some opinions now, so when i have the money next Nov, i'll have more of an idea what to do with it...and no, i'm not dreaming, i will have enough money for a R34 GT-T, but to find a local RX-7 might be pushing it...altho i found a few at autotrader.com.au in my price range...so it might be possible. But i think for my second car the R34 GT-T may be the way to go, i'm looking for more of a daily driver and one that is more reliable, and i think the skyline can take those two spots.

I was reading about that Silver-Arrowz, quite a few single turbo setups have been down over in the US, seems to be pretty popular.

I really appreciate all the opinions, and it's a bit hard to guess at prices a full year out, so we'll see what happens then, but i think at the moment, the R34 GT-T is the way to go for someone who doesn't know alot about car engines, i think the RX-7 is bit more of a purist car, not to say i won't have my hands full with a 1450kg, 208kw car :P, but for a daily driver, i think the Skyline can take that spot.

rx7's have rotary engines.. well if they;re so good y dont more cars have them? hmmmmmmm...

another point... the shape of the rx7 is pretty awesome now... but it is quote odd and strangely rounded..... it'll prolly date pretty quickly.

maybe its just me... but isnt the r34 the obvious winner?

ps... am i in rx7's australia or skylines australia??? could almost forget after reading the posts in this thread:(

Well, why don't Ferrari's and Lambo's have rear mounted engines like the 911???

Mazda took a long time to perfect the rotory engine. Lots of money went into engineering and evolving the motor. Other companies aren't going to take an unknown path. Mazda may know something they may not.

Thinking like that is just like how V8 diehards think. Have an open mind. I don't see GTS-t's winning 24 hour races.

Are u stupid. Firstly all Lambos have Rear mounted engines.

Secondly almost all Ferrari's have Rear mounted engines (F50, F30, 360. The only one that has a FR that comes to mind is the 550 Maranello

Thirdly Porsches are shit comapared to Ferraris and Lamborgines. Only the GT3 comes close.

:P:):D

ok ok....jokes aside (yes, i was on the floor laughing), thanks to akeenan and mango, mazda have decided to stick with the Rotary for the new RX-8, so they must like something about them.

Look the RX-7 is wicked, and so are Skylines. Simple as that. Maybe the twin turbo, Series 6/7 RX-7's are more than a match for the GT-T, probably better put head to head against a GTR, but i think we've established the fact the RX-7's are SEX ON WHEELS, and handle/go better than a GT-T, GTS-T, but for a practical daily, awesome performance, car, the R34 GT-T is the go...

but yes, we would like a RX-7... :P

      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.
