Hey guys,

Im going to purchase a manual R33 S2 skyline somtime this year but having a few problems.

My first consideration is buying a car interstate (melb).

My 2nd is using Prestigemotorsport service

IMPORT

There are pros and cons for bother situations i.e. cheaper with import however, u cant acutally test drive the car and all the 'inspectors report' is very very brief. They dont really go into detail. e.g report on how breaks are, any rust on car, any electrical probs.. etc etc (some do rarely). So i import a car, it arrives 6-8weeks down the track l8r. suddenly the car's air con unit dont work, rust probs with car etc. So i guess trust with the service dealer plays a great role. but then with this sum of momey u cant just 'trust any one'.

Or my 2nd option is tofly 1 way up to melb to buy a low k S2 man turbo skyline wif reasonable low ks for around 17,000. then get it fully inspected then drive it bk to adelaide.

The benefits of this is that u can actually test the car etc. but then u have to book for accomodation (hotel) etc. Plane ticket x2 one for me and me old man, then money to catch a cab, hire car inspector. It all adds up.

So Fellow South Australians What approach should u take if u were in my use?

Also has any one from SA used Prestigemotorsport service with geoff and can gimme a summary of how it turned out? i.e. any mechanical probs, exterior probs any probs.. at all. any extra costs? how teh car turned out?

All Feed back will greatly appreciated :)

Kind regards

    • 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.
