emissions i believe.

those pics of the prototype have been around for a while (a year or two i think) and yeah its not happeneing, they will have the Lexus LF-A though, which i think is its flagship sports car, but should have alot of luxury aswell. should be on the hung for some upper class cars like the M3, porkas, and even astons... very nice lookin prototype though

looks hot as! any reason why car manufacturers have canned the TT in-line 6's for TT V6's and V8's?? hopefully they have a bit more enginebay room than the 300zx... just looking at my engine bay hurts!

They got rid of inline 6's for packaging, probably. Inline sixes need longer engine bays, and it pulls your centre of gravity further forward.

Having a longer crank (relative to a V engine) also means it has to be relatively strong, apparently, because of how the force is applied in it.

The reason why they got rid of those specific inline 6's (the JZ and the RB) is because of emissions. They are pretty old engines...even though inlines tend to sound better and be smoother than V's.

overall it looks like a great car but i must say, not too keen on the front grill, the back lights look like something from an s2000 or a mazda.

apart from that it looks great!

how heavy is it, and why the v8?

    • 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
