lol - thanks Gary... i think :Paranoid:

I was going to keep it very sleeper looking - but the wheels blew that plan... even several weeks ago i played around with the dumb idea of getting personal plates "SLZZPER" (until I realised doing that would in itself negate it being a sleeper!!). But yeah - I just found those 18" rims with tyres last week rummaging through a second hand rim dealer's back of shop stock - and SWAPPED them for my stockies and tyres plus one other set of old 17" rims without tyres! :)

But about your query - got the car from MJR Motorsport in QLD - talk to Steve (or Murray) - great bloke to deal with. I put my name on it about 2 1/2 months ago, but just got my hands on it 3 weeks back :)

They are a RAW for stags so import, comply and sell themselves - so less middle men to pay at our end. Mine only has 45,000kms with service history and there is seriously not a single hairline scratch or mark on the entire body - so I was pretty stoked and got a great deal as well (PM me for full deal details if you want). Pretty sure they will happily try and locate specific car requests on their buying trips if they can... not like a broker though probably - they'll still prob not reveal auction price and negotiate on market value terms id imagine - was thinking about doing this at one stage coz i originally really wanted dual sunroof - but the deal on this one was just too good to pass up :)

:P

I went to MJR and missed that yellow one by a couple of days, they said it was going to Perth. They tried to sell me a red series 1 but I really wanted the series 2 and ended up finding a pearl coloured one but next time I drove past MJR they had a black series 2 in there but they were determined to sell me the red one they didn't bother telling me about the black one coming, makes you wonder.

I'm happy with the one I have but a yellow one would have been a bit more visual.

Gary :bananaman :bananaman

LOL dammit i told them i wanted a black series 2 and they didnt tell ME about that one dammit!! Oh well - I like my banana now more than black anyways ... I think... hangon - so did u get the black sereis 2 in the end? ... could be potential for a swap! :P

:P

Hey Brazen

I got a pearl coloured one but would have liked the black one but they didn't say anything about it.

Where did you get that grill and the eyebrows from? I am trying to get some just like that TAKEROS/TAKELOWS but not having much luck, nobody returns my EMails.

Gary

??? Nah that pic is what i WANT mine to look like... but from that pic - the eyelids are DOLPHIN, as is the grill.

Once I decide what I want, I can get my kit easy enough - my mechanic goes to Japan every so often on buying trips for parts etc... so he said hed be able to pick up kit bits for me when Im ready. So yeah - for aeroparts shops that dont ship international - Id suggest getting chummy with a tuner or caryard that goes to Japan to fill containers every so often and asking them to go in and get what u want off the shelf in Japan.

:P

    • 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
