Hey guys,

I've noticed that the rear drivers seat squeaks.

Its the shoulder of the seat rubbing against the wall of the car - make sense? :)

This is also an incovnience when I have the ladies in the back seat, and I haven't got the "..its the leather", excuse to fall back on. :woot::)

I'm thinking it may be a tad loose, but then again I'm ripping it against the wall to see what's behind it.

Is there anyway to release/re-tighten the rear seats?

The rear seat shouldn't press against the side too much. Most of the time they are....this is because the big plastic cover with the built in arm rest is loose. The press in clips that are on the back of the cover pop out of the metal holes in the car shell. This is one area nissan stuffed up, the holes are just a little bit too big. You can try pressing the cover back on, but it will likely only pop off again. I tried several different methods of making the hole in the metal smaller and/or making the plastic clip that goes in the hole bigger. The only thing that has worked so far is to use a drill and pop rivets on the edge of the hole thus making the hole smaller. This means that the plastic clip at the back of the cover fits in a lot tighter and won't pop off.

Personally I prefer a tight fit, but I am also keen to pop off......then again I am not a cover.

PS If any of you 'gun' metal workers out there know of a better method of fixing this, let us all know.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
