Hey all :(

SAUWA are entering drag warz here in Perth.

I'm entering my car haha

Previous owner did some dragging in her before (I'll find the threads to that)

I was just wondering if anyone here has done this with thier S1's and anything I should do to the car before hand.

I'll be changing the oil this weekend (a week prior) and attaching my front strut brace.

Boost is set at 8psi but can do higher, will get that tuned before also..

Anything else?

Its not hard in an auto awd car.

only tip, for launching do the following.

put in D, forget about power/other shit, push handbrake in as hard as you can, left foot on the brake as hard as you can, right foot on the accelerator until the car feels like it will creep, release foot brake and hand brake at the same time as planting the lead foot.

point, shoot.

dont worry about tyre pressures, oils are just like a service do it if it needs doing. otherwise, have fun.

Yeap, get it staged, then plant your foot as hard as you can on the brake and then apply accelerator until the car creeps slightly then back off, once the thrid yellow goes out, remove brake and plant accelerator, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

We'll have to start a "Drag Times" thread soon, just for you, remember to keep your best timeslip of the comp and scan it :)

Oh and Get some video please :P

    • 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
