I received my strut brace and brake lines today. Thought they were pretty.

Not real CF unfortunately :), but it does only weigh 1.2kg

And along with the reset of this crap I should be sit'n pretty.

Going in for the stainless kermit intake piping soon. Hopefully next week if kermit is ready :D

No sticker HP this time but now the R needs rust repaired on the rear guard, bonnet and bar resprayed.

I've been putting that off for too long :D

Say Hi to your mum for me :D

brace was from Perfect Run. DCS carbon fibre model.

http://www.perfectrun.com.au/performance%2...rutbracebar.htm

Cost was $201, although my conversion of Y18500 using www.xe.com came to $195 but oh well. Shipping was for 2.7kg which included the brake lines and it came to $59.

I just relised that i hate the look of the rear of a R32 GTR, so as i cant pass them, i may aswell drive one to save me from looking at it!!!

What im looking for is a really really clean and tidy STOCK 32 with low kilometres. If i cant find one, i wont buy one.

As for my take off against Paul, was he trying at all or not really??

Oh, nice floor mats Tom. :P

I though so too, with the Nismo twin it should feel more like stock.

Hate the 32 rear end? Its the nicest of all 4 main Skylines :domokun:

Most of the 32 GTR's coming out of Japan are the 1994 models which are Vspecs with the BBS's and the Brembos. As for low km's and stock these are your best option, obviously, but you can never know if the Japs run the clocks back a few 1000 k's. Just look for a Grade 5 on Prestige or whatever...

Sorry for the hijack...... wait a minit!

Tom do you mind stop hi jacking your own thread!

thank you!

Interested to see how your clutch goes though. Bringing her out to next wanneroo night?

p.s. Have to have a look at fair pricing on GTR's to. May just be a bit more than i want to pay.

Probably not too soon, I have insurance for both my cars (I bought a MKII Escort last week) and credit card debt (the clutch money) and owe my parents like $700 still so maybe later in the year. Should have the high power floor mats in by then too :( (she needs a vacuum)

    • 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
