they're about 40 bucks a tyre.. i'll get the number off a mate of mine.. only downside to that is that u can no longer use any tyre shine product on them anymore as it strips the "wall" away.. and IF you happen to hit or even brush close to a curve... you just wasted 40 bucks

Yeah? hmm... is that just for the whitewalls, or reds too? What/how do they do them?

first they "groove" the tyre, then pour the rubber color into that grove. but.. the glue that holds that together reacts with the oils of tyre shines.. foam or otherwise. I was thinking of getting mine done but changed my mind. :thumbsup:

geez, wouldn't have thought that the old armour-all would kill glue... might change my mind too then... I like shiney tyres!

Not sure where you get them but i know they are made by Kumho.

you can buy them now, theres only a certain number of places that sell them.

i think wheelworx in adelaide sell them.

also you can now get blue. yellow and green smoke tyres.

dpending on size there like $100 and up . and you cant drive on them road with them

    • 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.
