Whats done to it... very nice 34...

I can only compare it as being a passenger, but to me the porsche's handling felt so crisp and responsive. Compared to the gtr its hard to say as I didnt drive the thing but unmodified in any way the porsche just changed directions with ease with no body roll whatsoever. Compared to the gtr if it were stock you have to upgrade the suspension to make it feel like that. The brakes on the thing were awesome. I think there the same size as the gtr but the porsche weighing around 250-300kg less makes u huge difference in stoping power. Power delivery is on a different level being a 3.6 litre. There is so much grunt down low that it just pulls you hard than at around 3k revs its even harder. There is hardly any transition onto boost, just a feeling that you know it is on by how much harder its just pushed you into your seat. Owner said he ran a 12.4 stock. The only thing I didn't like about the porsche is that its so quite but thats an easy fix with a exhaust and some induction mods. Apart from that in my opinion you don't need to touch it whereas the gtr you have to spend a bit of money to get it to that level. 300kw in the gtr, a good set of coilovers, sway bars and brakes and you will out do the porsche. Pretty much were im at now with the brakes on there way:) at this level there really isn't much the gtr cant play with

Drive a 993 turbo they were the best of the lot, we modified one and got 320kw at all 4 (didnt want the lag being a circuit car) and it was just insane.

If one came up at the right price I'd sell both my cars to own it

yep marko summed it up perfectly 'built to be fast'. The gtr can do what the porsche can and may even do it better but you need to spend big bucks on the gtr to be able to do it reliably.

Brett you probably wouldnt lose buying a 993. They been floating around the same price for years and will probably go up in value in years to come.

Did it take much to get 320kw out of it?

    • 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.
