Hey fellas,

As my username suggests, I am in the market for a Skyline, looking to purchase one around February next year but I'm researching as much as possible before I fork out for one.

Now I'm a surfer, and I was wondering if:

1. The back seats fold down in an R32?

2. If you can fit a surfboard - say up to 6'5" inside (by sticking it through the boot and the open back seats into the cabin)?

Cheers. ;)

The only way i can fit my surfboard in my r32 is by folding the front passenger seat all the way back and putting my board on the seat.

Its pretty crap when I take a mate surfing, they have to sit behind me in the back seat, as the boards take up the rest of the room. Might have to get some of those removable roof racks.

Yeah man!

Go to any local surfshop and they should sell Strap on Racks. Cost about $40 the only thing if you get a 2 door the racks won't be very far apart but that does not matter cause they tie down tight. I bought a set of double racks for $70 so I can fit 6 boards on the roof easily. This will be your best option.

By the way, any waves ATM?

i have a 32 as well ... the way i do it is to put the passenger seat down, then put the board in on an angle with the nose of the board sticking out the window. and yeah if you have a mate with you he has to sit behind you with the boards on top of him. it's do-able though.

    • 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.
