I was reading some of the rice vs non rice threads and i have come to the conclusion that all r33s are rice, Because if they actually wanted a real performance car, they would have bought an r32. Insted of just a car that looks like a performance car.

hehe

oh well just a little dig just trying to start some feeling for the 4 6s and rotory day, rb20 vs rb25, let the fun begin

Mine isn't.

It's an 'all aussi' nationalised migrant (minus the roo-bar, open roof for shooting, offroad tyres and spotties).

I've got dents that are over 2years old red dust all underneath (from driving on unsealed roads) and stock appearance.

Like the pintara style, nothing like bringing down the rev-head posers with a 'sleeper' family car. :D

ive got nothing against 32's, i quite like em actually, but dont they improve things with each model change?? thats what impression i was under anyway, learn from old mistakes, well not necassarily mistakes but just to better things, if they didnt think it was better why would they change it??

:)

Good theory but not always true. U have to admit the 33 is more of a tourer while the 32 is a 'true' sports car.

hasn't the 2002 bug eyed wrx got less power than the ones before???

and agree'd about the 32 being more of a sports car, and the 33, well could class as a sports/tourer :lol:

What's the definition of a true sports car?

Therefore is an MX5 a True,True sports car?

Nissan in there wildest dreams would not claim any Skyline as a "True Sports Car" ....Sporting yes.

Nissan badge their Skylines GT's translated from italian is Grand tourer so if the 33 is more of a tourer it is the better car than the 32 in your opinion boostzor ?

In my opinion car makers must improve each successive model overall or go out of business

Cheers

Note i said " 'true' sports car" not "true sports car" i reckon there is a difference.

IMHO a 'true sports car' is light, powerful (good power to weight), RWD or 4wd and has a wide/low wheelbase.

Left wing being sports and right wing being tourer i would have to say while the 33 is left of centre the 32 is more so. Well thats what i reckon anyhow.

I'm not too sure about that dude... i do recall crashtzors cruise (the night of his demise!) some time ago where i had a small run againt the pintara (RB20LagWagon0 i was in front by a bit but only marginally... since then i have had a few mods done... even if RB20Lagwagon has done mods then he will have to spend a few $$$ giving Killer T ago, i know Killer T could whip me even now that i have spent a few $$$ on mine...

I dunno your list of mods RB20Lagwagon but they would have to be a lot to give Killer T a go.

I have no doubt that RB20Lagwagon is quick skyzer but it would take a bit to beat Killer T

thats exactly what i thought, they wouldn't change something if it didn't need improving, they would try new things and test new things and implement the changes on the newer models.

    • 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
