Dosen't look too bad. I filled the gar with some rubber weather strip I sourced from clak rubber $13 (I love that shop, I used it a few times now, love going there) and sealed it with windscreen sealant $11. Got some red coloured brake light globes from my favorite Bulleseye store $10. I reckon thats the cheapest mod that has some much visual impact I have ever done...

can't wait to see it at night

Yeah I guess so, but playing sealant sucks ass... i lost my fingerprints from getting the assembly apart... suck ass I wouldn't want to do it twice... well four times... cause I still gotta do the other side...

I also had to do the bake in an oven trick, worked well...

Edited by 75coupe

I was about to do the same thing the other day after reading a post by BAM33. Had the light assembly out and all, then decided against it after seeing the sealant.

Looks great IMO.

Night shots please

if it is a white reflector pointing rewards you stand a good chance of getting booked. it is illegal to have white lights (other than reverse lights and number plate light) and white reflectors pointing rearwards.

I'd also like to see some night shots of this, and whether it's actually legal or not!

In vic it wouldnt be legal because you need to have a red reflector and im guessing that red cover was the reflector since there is no more red there.

stick some red tint over the centre circle which is the reflector. then you're legal. mind you then you'll have albino eyes on the back of your car.

when there is a car behind you with their headlights on, those reflectors shine like a b**ch,

i did this to my tail lights and at night in the light they look like rever lights lol, im pulling mine off after i finish my turbo upgrade and getting some good jap spec LED tailights

    • 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.
