Yet another newbie.


Recommended Posts

Guest Sim32

Hello All. My name is Sim, I just purchased a 92 r32 gtst wine red. It was actually "Nismo_Boy's" car, a member of these forums.

Anyway picked it up last nite and the clutch decided to let go :cheers: so there is 800 bucks from direct clutches..does anyone know if that a good price? thats for a Heavy duty Dakien with a large pressure plate (400hp) and machined flywheel blaa blaa, i dont want a brass button.

Anyway way went for a cruise, saw 51IDE at roma street, nice car man, paint looks wicked :D and also a few other 32 gtr's 08LUR and 350ME etc etc.

Anyway as i am broke at the moment the car will stay pretty stock. I think i will just track down a gtr intercooler and run 14 psi (dual stage) and aim for 160kw atw and a highish 13 sec quater..

(car already has exhuast and filter)..anyway might catch up with u soon.

Cheers Sim.

I paid $400 for my 3000p pressure plate organic clutch from Nicks Clutches. It's an awesome clutch. I love it :rolleyes:

I'm Erin. We are having a skyline meeting this afternoon if you want to come down and say gidday! It's at the Homemaker Centre on the south side of brisbane. Refer to this thread for details.

Hmm. Not happy. went on a nebo cruise 2day and besides the clutch being a bitch, i found the car very skatey with the hicas and stock suspension in the rear end. Not only that it seams a rock or somthing jammed in my front left disc and made one hella of a noise so i had to turn around and limp it home. The noise dissapperead but is still making it quietly, so it could be a bearing or disc or something..(pads are still ok)..

anyway clutch is getting done 2morrow.. $$$ debt :cool: from Albion Direct Cluthes. At Albion of course. HD Dakien 400hp pressure plate from a touch over 800.

Cheers.

well new clutch is done

is pretty piggish to drive because of large pressure plate i guess.. i dunno, wanted something light on the foot, but a heavy duty pp seems to *** that up.

anyway car goes in shop tommrow..im getting this bad rear wheel shudder and it could be my diff or something, also gotta replace all my bushes.

:P

not happy

    • 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.
