  1. Ceste, jak se mas Marek...sorry I only have english keyboard. Are you a fan of Poland's greatest band ever?
  2. Any advice? Yes. Learn to make your own lines, they're actually pretty easy and you can make hard lines, flexi lines, whatever you like, perfectly fitting to your application. https://www.efisolutions.com.au/ sell a huge range of hoses, fittings, everything you need. You might have to outlay a bit in the beginning (eg I bought a 5 metre roll of stainless tubing that I've used less than a metre of) but still cheaper than buying premade shite hoses that sort-of fit.
  3. If by axles you mean driveshafts, they're supposed to have play in them. They are not hard to recondition, it's just pulling apart the cv's, cleaning them and regreasing, fit new boots. I've only rebuilt one set and there was fk-all wear in them, still running just fine 8 years later.
  4. Note, the aluminium bit that screws in the end that you have to remove to dismantle the rack is single use as it's punch-marked, it will strip when you unscrew it, and then you have to flatten the notch in the steel rack body, screw in a new aluminium end when rebuilding, then punch-mark it again once assembled. it is also 'somewhat tricky' to refit the rack>steering wheel linkage gear as it needs to be set to the right preloads etc. A rebuild is probably something that's better just given to a steering shop for a couple of hundred, unless you're mad-keen to do it yourself.
  5. Do you have the workshop Manuel? Sorry that's a Spanish waiter...I mean, manual? Some relevant pages>
  6. All the best with it mate. Hopefully no dramas. I found quite a few issues when i pulled mine out eg fkt trans and engine mounts, throwout bearing, i had not been aware of, so 'any car maint' can be worthwhile it seems.
  7. You seem to post alot of helpful info to members overall, I have no issue with you. Enjoy your night.
  8. Right. So a workshop is doing it for you. Good stuff. Out. Wait..."hopefully" has 2 L's. All the jibing aside...just waiting for a new clutch throwabout bearing to arrive then will finish the install, interested to see what the driveability is like. I say this in all sincerity, good luck with yours, hope it goes smoothly.
  9. Got my R34 gearbox around 4-5 weeks ago. Came into some extra $$ recently and after I cleaned the mess off the notes, I thought, might as well buy that R34 box I've been pondering. In that time I've pulled the engine out, replaced rod and mains bearings, done a few other engine things that are much easier with the engina out eg PRP oil pump upgrade, replacing wastegate coolant lines, installing Turbosmartass turbo oil pressure reg, made some mounting brackets for some of my mods that are "hard to reach", converted the R34 box to R33, put the engine and new gearbox back in the car. Plus cleaning ...Oh my god so much cleaning when doing such a project. Yep I'm a busy bee, buzz buzz. As part of the gearbox project, researched posts and found this thread (In which i nailed it for the OP), hence the post here # logical thinking.. Not all about you old boy, SOrrryyy. Dare I ask, how's yours going ,> Or you got it done yet, and if so why didn't you post any of the tips I posted to help other members? ???
  10. Indeed it would be google, as it would certainly bring up the image result if I had posted it. I have hardly driven that car for a long time now but once the current upgrades are done and the engine is back in the car, will be headed back to the tuner and will post the result. I would estimate around 8% increase over the previous setup.
  11. tighten until it strips completely, then buy new rack. Repeat.
