hey guys,

I got a new battery for my r32 gtst today its a Century NS40ZL which is the model it had in the book (although it had same model for all imported skylines) but I got it home and realised terminals were opposite way around but I fixed that problem by turning the battery around other way and leads just reached but the bigger problem was the fact the terminals are TINY! My battery clamps are too big for them (and I just bought new clamps and I dont think there were any smaller ones).

So I'm going to exchange it tomorrow.

If any R32 owners have Century batteries I'd like to know what model you have please?

Thanks!

actually....thats the one I have (32 GTR)....the terminals are the wrong way around but they reach ok.

the clamps on the GTR are the small ones...so either gtst is different or yours have been changed at some stage.

But take it back to where you got it you will be able to find another one same size but with big terminals - repco I think have a good range

2 days after i got my 32, the battery ran out in pakenham, on the way to a mates place in essendon. went to autobahn and got a century high performance battery for it.. they gave me the exact model you got dude, terminals were huge.. took it back and the stock battery and they found it...

could have a look for ya if you wanted to?

hey josh, thanks mate but I went down this afternoon and swapped it for one with bigger terminals. hehe its funny that they gave you the one with big terminals when you needed small and I got one with small but I needed big. So stock GTST battery must come with small terminals but mine must've been changed to a big terminal battery somewhere along the line.

    • 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
