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

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
