Ok..

Even though i can see it from 2 different points of view.. I will try and obide by the unwritten rules of the forums... this will be my main post for my car and its progress.. if it is updated.. (duh) the time date will be updated)

I will link a few posts that i have done already and the rest will be in here.

Ok here is the car pretty stock.. All i had done at that stage was get the tinting done + remove some dicky strips that were on the car.. ( yes the tinting is legal.. its just a kick ass grade that looks darker then what it is)

actually.. heres a pic of it without tinting and the strip of doom. (see attached)

Tinting + Clean up

After that i started on the performance a little.. I took the car to all star on the dyno day and got a very modest 123kw of power on stock boost.. it was a good number to start on.

21/02/07

I went out and bought a Apexi Power intake (from slidewise) that week and installed that badboy.. i noticed straight away that there was a little more juice under the hood.

After that i was tossing and turning on what to do next.. but since Aussieland is hotter then Japan i thought that a FMIC was a good option..

I got one of the JustJap FMIC's off the forums here and got mark to give me a hand "bolting" it on.

Was a 4 hour job but in the end i was happy with the work and was also happy i was getting my hands dirty by helping on the install..again mark... thanks :)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=158803 << Front mount install topic

We kept the front bumper on there and did not cut the whole out in the middle.. so at this stage my car looks dead stock.. but when it winds up it dont.

So at this stage due to the FMIC i now have a 9psi boost

Also i used the how-to topic for maxing the boost on the stock solenoid ( as in to keep it a constant 7psi by permanent grouding of the ground wire).

Last night my handbrake boot gaiter arrived.. and i must say i am very happy with the quality... Noel have a look at it @ Cactus jacks as i know you were after one... put that on in 2 minutes.. didnt think a how-to post was needed for that as we already have some fantastic ones on the forums on how to remove the inside panels.

19/11/07

Finially put an exhaust on it, got a Rob Bliss one installed, got it from a fellow forum goer, Basicly it is the full system bar changing the turbo mani.

3" with a high flow cat.

Ill put it on the dyno again soon, id expect a few more bikkies for my dollar now.

Looking good. I just got a apexi pod from slide last week. Best price world wide.

Id agree with you about getting a exhaust next.

Also look at getting a turbotech manual boost control, even when set to stock boost i found it starts boosting slightly earlier.

Hi Dean

Yeah because the boost would go around 11-12psi and i only want 10 when i get the exhaust i am going to get an EBC..

And yeah..ill plug slidewise where i can.. pretty damn cheap prices they got there :)

    • 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
