Hehe - I left the windows down most of Friday to get that 'new rubber' smell out. They do protrude a few mm from the guards, and I think there's a slight rub on the rears when you hit bumps at speed, but a -ve camber adjustment should fix that.

As far as lowering goes - yeah, the front could come down a smidge, but I don't want to lose any drivability with driveways, speedhumps etc. Will talk to Jeff when he does the camber/alignment - see what we can do :laugh:

Very happy with them though - the whole red/grey theme really works well. There's a guy in Sydney with silver 19" RS's on his blue Evo - looks good, but I think they are a bit too big. 18"s are perfect IMO. Clicky here for his car: http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=254987

We have a Murcielago for top end, and an Ariel Atom for bullshit acceleration. All cars (bar the RS4 Avant) will be in town soon, so I'll let you know the full fleet.

Newest one is a white 997 GT3, with a 575 Maranello looking like being on the books too. Should all pool up and get an SAU annual membership :(

But, back on topic...

I think the 18"s are big enough and am super happy with them. Some red (well... pink) locknuts going on today and the Golgo plates will return soon to complete the package. Only other thing I'm keen to add are the Damd carbon side/rear skirts.

Pure sex James!! Top job mate.

Red and grey/charcoal combo FTW!!!!

You made the right choice with the 18's. 19's may fill out the guards better, but you sacrifice handling, response and rwkw. I know from experience :huh: . For the past year I have been contemplating whether I should go 18's and sell the 19's :( .

    • 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.
