Hey guys. I am having an issue with my GTR33 and I just cant seem to figure it out! Here is the info:

I have a 96 GTR33 and my rear end shakes at speeds exceeding 100kmph. Now it does this in all different gears not just gear 3 or gear 4. However, I do not feel the problem at all with speeds less than 100kmph. When the rear end shakes it feels like I hit a wet spot and lost traction for a second and then regained traction and instant later. It is not a violent shake, nor does it last long, it also happens intermittently. It happens every once in a while. Also it often happens when I am not in boost at all and I am also cruising at a constant speed. I am not necessarily stepping heavy onto the gas. I mean it feels EXACTLY like my rear wheels hit a water spot and slid a bit. Also if I recall correctly it tends to shake to the right. Any ideas on what my issue may be? I am going to the shop tomorrow for a tune up and would like to have something to tell them to check out. Thanks guys.

Well came back from the shop today and it appears that my HICAS motor is dead. It SEEMS that the rest of the system works however. So now I am in the market looking for a HICAS motor. (You know the little black thing in the back under the car in the middle of the rear axle?) If anyone has one, or knows where I can get one decently priced any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot.

Also

I have indeed heard from quite a number of people that it would probably be best to just eliminate the HICAS system all together. However, I would really like to get it back up and running first. I at least want to experience the system and then make an informed decision for myself on wither I want to eliminate it or not.

Especially with the problem being something as simple as just the motor. That is just a few bolts and then im done. So while I do appreciate the opinion to remove the system all together, I would appreciate it even more if someone could either point me to where I can get a new HICAS motor or tell me that they had one available (im sure some of you do since you have locked your systems). Thanks a lot for the help!

was about to say HICAS before i read your post, woohoo 1 point for me.

put up a WTB thread, plenty of people have removed HICAS from their car, so you should get the motor cheap.... GTRgeoff is one of them, maybe you can pm him.

    • 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
