soarers are highly made in auto form, cos of it's nature to be a luxury car, there are manual but are reasonably rare, but you can get them one in every five or so. keep looking dont be in too much of a hurry, you'll find a manual just takes time a importer get them to track one down for ya. Hope it helps.

Most soarers are autos due to the fact that they market it to different groups of ppl. The 3.0L non turbo and the 4.0L V8 ones are almost 100% manuals. Hardly any executive in Jpn would want a manual in the upmarket version. You might be lucky to find a manual for the 2.5L turbo version.

But there is a manual twin turbo soarer out there if you really patience, and wait, and look around very hard.... but be mindful that owning a manual soarer can be a pain as parts for manual gearbox can be very hard to find if you ever stuff your box. So you gotta treat your car with respect.

definitely cruise mobiles, get a nice subtle kit for it, updated front lights or whatever they did for the later models, drop it so you can't drive over a piece of paper, 18inch rims... you're ready for a night out on the town! :)

but depends on what ur after, it it's just to cruise, maybe get one. But after performance and handling, look skyward :)

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
