Hi,

Im part of the skyline owners club in the uk and was having a look at your forum,

Its really good,

Have a look at my gts turbo i got her last week and im starting to do her up.

Its quite unusual for a young female to drive one of these cars in the uk as there seen as a mans car,is it the same in Australia?

nice one... most of the girls I know in england drive Micra's n 318i's.

Welcome to the forum. Over here there's still way more guys in Skylines than there are girls (think about 50 to 1 according to my guesstimations). Girls in imports usually drive FTO's, silvia's and the occasional R33 GTS or GTSt.

Enjoy your stay... and prepare to put up with a few hundred posts from guys askin if you're fit :rofl:

Welcome to the forum, and nice looking car as well. Great looking kit. Pity you are putting such large rims on. Prepare to be extorted for tyres. Anyway, enjoy the car and hope to catch you around the forum.

BTW watch that Roy guy. He's off to the UK soon and before you know it he'll be taking over you garage and sleeping on the floor :(

Troy's moving to the UK? oh my god... how's he gonna get sunburnt n go all pink now? Make sure you buy something proper while you're there n bring it back as a personal import.

Hey, this thread is not about me, anyway its no sin; getting sunburnt, sleeping on friend's floor setc, is it:)

We do love doing crazy things to them,i have a bit planned for mine just need to save up the pounds to do it.

Thats the great thing, the pound buys a lot when you are looking at Jap gear. Its so cool now that there are more jap cars coming into the UK, you can only do so much with turbo fwd cars pumping out 150hp:(

...and the cost of gettting them registered etc isnt as prohibitive...rather then a Sierra i can so easily see myself hooking up with another R32 once i have settled in...keep an eye out for me later this year cruising around Clapham Junction, ill be easy to spot

      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.
