This was discussed in the site idea/feedback section but anywayz. Its good the made a point of mentioning it. Brings it more into the mainsteam - most people still don't know what a Skyline is or why it even has the following it does. When they sit in one and hear it ripping thru the gears then they quickly learn :(

Hmmm "there will be much chat when the V35 appears..." (paraphrase) - i'm not sure about that. Very few can afford a R34 GT-R as to, little own something even newer and more expensive. It's a whole different group to the commondoor HSV set!

Most are here are under 30 by the looks of things, but still many of us can eat 50 year olds in their 2002 Clubsports no worries ;)

Thats just hype talk about the 35, basically a big name drop. It was in wheels after all :(

I reckon most ppl know what a skyline is but still dont respect em. Cmon there are more lines out there than manaros but its still the comon misconception that u need cubic inches to make power.

I'm pretty sure performanceforums get more hits than us.....

Does anyone know how they were rated?

Who cares about performance forums. Too many REM's there. (Raging Ego Maniacs)

Be glad there's no market interest for skylines in Aust - if there was, the fuctory would import them and then they'd be subject to heaps of import duty and luxury car tax and stuff...

(Don't know for sure, so correct me if i'm wrong, but I think they are cheaper coz they are not imported by the factory.)

Put it this way. The S15 is $40k and it runs an SR20.

So the r33/34 would be in the $50-60 range.

To counterpoint, how much would Lexus charge for a Soarer (!!!)

im sure when the v35 gtr is actually released there might be more guys in japan selling r34 and going to v35, therefor with more r34 on market, you could see price drop a little bit...

    • 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.
