There is nothing worse than the phone call.....

"we replaced this bit, but while we were there we saw this and this and this and this......"

I can only sympathise mate, ive been in a position where sh!t kept going wrong and its no bloody fun at all, the only thing that kept me going was my 1986 falcon that i took bush to do some jumps!

Karma is a killer i hope that guy gets what he deserves.

Heartbreaking story :D

I'd be organising some a cruise for our eastern states counterparts to do the guys lawn that sold it to you :no:... well after the solicitor anyway.

Your going to appreciate the car once your able to drive it knowing its completly sound. Hopefully it'll be sooner rather later.

I'm trying to put a positive spin on it. I see it as "character building" and the frustration is subsiding due to my good friend Jenna Jameson.

Cheers,

Andrew

Alrighty, the car has been in the panel beaters for a little over 2 weeks for the chassis rails and floor to be straightened ( a days job ) and still the end is no where insight. The guy who is doing it has sliced his foot open by some sort of glass.

lol figures as much.

HAHAHA

Well I got the car back last night from Down Under Panel and Paint (not recommending them to many people). $1300 later the chassis rails and floor have been straightened.

Now I just need to get the carpets of masTers. If anyone knows him, throw him a message for me. The guys i needed to get the carpets off has absolutely no idea what i was on about.

Then the boot seals and some degreasing and it should be done.

I just got the carpets yesterday from Knox Auto Carpets and they will go into the car.

The rubber jigs left and she will be ready for the pits.

Next pay day I will be ordering these rims:

hey andrew.. hows she going now? :)

still need to borrow my rims? (they are in hot demand at the moment!)

btw: those white impuls with chrome dish will look sweet on a blue 32. :D

Sup Mitch,

Things are dragging a little on my end ( my fault with running into the police with an unlicensed car and having to hide the car away for a couple of weeks). If someone is chasing the rims then buy all means lend them out. Still rekkon it will be about week before the rubber jiggers will be done. Carpets are getting done friday or saturday.

If any one ever needs new carpets. 175 for plush carpets delivered to your door you cannot beat that. Know Auto Carpets ftw!

The 19s are setting me back 2500.

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
