Dont actually know whats cause this, but ill explain whats been done since having it.I think the car was at its peak when it was stock with a pod + 3" exhaust (no cat)

Then a few things went in.......

265 r 235 f tyres with heavy wheels

fmic

removed cold air box to fit cooler, and never placed back in(long story)

gapped sparkies to .5-.6mm as i was getting alot of missing and couldnt increase boost (this may be a big factor?)

bought the sau boost tap and set to .8bar atm

put in a split dump pipe

i feel a combination of the too low gapping of the sparkies, and the big heavy wheel/tyr combo over stock is causing me too have made the big loss.

Is it right for my car to be running rich at this level w/o tune?how can you generally tell if your car is running rich, i most definitely think mine is.

What would you guys reccomend me do to fix my loss?

Thats what i was thinking aswell, may just replace my sparkies, whats sparkies would you reccomend?may just be that theyve gotten weak over time, car has done lots of k's now. I have a Split Dump into a 3" exhaust the whole way. The guys definitely got rid of the missing problem and thus let me increase the boost, but how much have i lost in the process.

How low should the sparkies go when gapped on a failry stockish car like mine?..... 0.8mm?

by having 265 tyres on the rear you have added (depending on the tre size you had on there before hand) up to 120mm of extra tread on the rear, plus between 20 and 40mm of tread on the front. that is a fair bit of resistance.

    • 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.
