Hi i am only 18 at the minute and when i trun 21 i want to import a R34 GTT 4-Door manual of course. At the minute im waying up wether to wait until about 25 for insurance matters. A big thing in my decision willl be having a drive of one as i have never driven a skyline. GTT 4 doors as they are pretty rare i was wondering which skyline model which is similar to drive and is just asking for a test drive at car yards the best thing to do. thanks for your help in advance

You might want to check the import laws first.

they are on prestige motorsport?

thats the thing if i dont like driving a skyline i would prefer to spend on a less powerful and my luxery car as i have the money at the minute for the GTT and also i have option of buying a BA XR6 n/a for a bit cheaper with luxery package and most options

asking for a test drive at car yards

Not giving you sh1t, but you will prolly have a hard time getting a car yard to give an 18 year old the time of the day, let alone a test drive of a ~$50,000 sports car just because you want to find out how they drive. Trust me I've been there.

May not be a problem if you have some financial backing, (parents)

Insurance; don't worry about that, you will not get it (in your name anyway), at least not for any reasonable price. If it was me I would not insure you for much less than ~$30,000 a year for a $50,000 car. Again, not having a go, just thinking of stastics.

If your really keen, keep the dream alive and it will be yours, you'll prolly be a bit older than 21 before you get it though.

as for the insurance matter, untill your 25 i'd only go with 3rd party, fire & theft. I have a mate who smashed up the front end of his fancy new 200sx. even after spending over $3000/year on insurance he's still not going to make a claim cause it'll end up costing him a bucket load in return.

anyway just a thought.

True, insurance premiums are ridiculously high, but it's even more ridiculous to suggest only getting 3rd party, fire and theft for a approx $30k car. Don't know about you, but I'm sure most people can't afford to loose a $30k asset should they have the misfortune of writing their car off...

If u can afford the car you should afford the insurance...

This happened to me. I know there is a big difference in cars but still, mine was only 200 cheaper than a gtst.

I figured id be fcked if something happen that was out of my control. Like a dog or something on the road and i crash...

Or it got STOLEN.

    • 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.
