Mod's there has been an increase unrelated threads been started in the "Cefiros and other RB powered sedans" section. Many of which should of been in general maintence or forced induction/ NA areas etc.

Only way many of the regulars in the ceffy and 4 door section think we can stop this is either getting some more active mods in the section or possible changing the name of the section to "Cefiros and other 4 door related discussion" or "Cefiros and Jap Taxi talk" etc. seems too many are getting confused with the RB powered sedans part of the title (and when viewed on the forum index its towards the top of the page, hence probally the spontanous posting of alot of newbies in the section)

example are (just ones that i quickly noted on the first page....):

Can one of the web admins possibly help us in changing the title of the section, helping us with some more active mods or some other option?

Cheers

yikes... i'm the one who's supposed to be responsible for the cef section... I'll have a look at it guys... just haven't been active in that section for a while. Should be... I've been drivin the cef more than my R32 recently :D

actually... since both narkeh and someonestolecc both stepped down from moderating the section, there's only me to look after it.

Can I have some volunteers for 2 new mods to look after the section? (Obviously you have to be a reg in the Jap Taxi section to apply). Also I'll probably change the section name to "Cefiros Australia" and point the domain name www.cefirosaustralia.com to it soon.

sounds good funkymonkey. Though changing name to section name to "Cefiro's Australia" might be disregarding other 4 doors don't u think, or will it be assumed that they post in the same section?

sweet never knew cefirosaustralia.com was a registered domain, will have to get some stickers made up for that. :)

well when I made the section I assumed Cefiros and other RB Powered Sedan's might be clear enough to stop non 4 door owners from posting there.

just guesstimating... 80% of the guys in there own ceffies and 15% own 4 door R32's. the rest are a scattering of Laurels and Cimas. (No Gloria or cedric owners yet methinks).

Maybe renaming it to "Cefiro's and other Taxi's" as suggested or something like that might help.

dangerous_daveo has been made the new mod for this section. Also the section and its description have been altered.

Each section can have up to 3 moderators, so I will add another mod in due time.

The Cefiros and other RB powered sedans section has been great..But as a R33 4 door owner and i think i speak for other Skyline sedan people 32s and 34s we are growing in numbers. A seperate Skyline sedan section or subforum woulb be fantastic. Would this be posible. as you are thinking of changing the sections around....

Its hard to justify a seperate section for just 4 door variants of skylines... I mean a vast majority of the car is the same as a coupe. Stageas and Cefiros are completely different models, so seperate sections for them are somewhat justified.

That said, the reason I originally named the section Cefiro and RB Powered Sedans was so that 4 door Skyline owners had somewhere to post about bodykits that were unique to them and about this newfangled thing called rear doors and windows.

I guess with the new naming of the section we just have to hope that 4 door skyline owners identify themselves as owners of a Taxi :)

    • 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.
