tell me about it, i sold brakes for $500 and have to spend $3500 to replace them.

haha. you planning on getting rid of it already? or just for the right price ay..

i was looking into doing this as a project but i think i'd get bored from how long it would take with available funds atm.

grrrr it's 2:33am and i've been sitting here pretty much re-reading the whole thread haha!

makes me wana start mine right now. still got a lot of research though!

would you mind if i asked you a few question when i get stuck on mine?

wish me luck at work in 2 hours haha

Purchased a GTR style front bar ages ago, there is a pick of it somwhere earlier in the thread.

Some Vielside side skirts, and a GTR bonett to go on very soon i hope. Also bought a glass bootlid but it does not seem to be much lighter than the metal one. have to weigh it.

can you say 'race spec!'

What front bar are you using.. decent sized oil cooler too!

basically the same car, i cant see it being to much different. Spoke to SK today about a suspension package. You would be amazed on what i learned in 20mins on the phone. want to get the car running in the next few weeks and then sort suspension and then brakes. Might have to sell go-kart.

Can't weit to see this in action.. been waiting for an ls1 powered 32 for ages! So many ls1 s13's now though.

yea i was wondering what suspension you're going to be using seeing that you're using it as an all rounder.

  • 2 weeks later...

Car has been at panel shop for last week getting fitted up. Had the boot sprayed also. Bonnet pins fitted etc and then a final buff, came up mad. cant believe it is the same car i picked up from Qld 18 months ago. this is the first time the car has had all the panels fitted.

Got the lifters today and should have the heads next week.

Pulling box back out tomorro to play around with release bearing clearance.

Cpmputer arrived during the week. Going to purchase some guages, finish the dash and get the car wired so i can fire it.

A few before and after shots.

    • 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
