ok, serviced the car yesterday, nothing special, just oil & filter. also dropped the rubbish nulon gearbox oil out and replaced it with some Repsol synthetic matic atf. Much better.

checked and adjusted the wheel alignment,

running 6 deg caster, 3 deg neg camber and 1.5mm toe out on front.

3 deg neg camber and 1.8mm toe in on rear.

will see how it goes. Bring on wakefield.

Had a great day at Wakefield, eventually got the tune sorted after datalogging a few laps, car was very lean in places so happy to get it sorted.

Diff is tired, needs a re-build, tyres also tired, so am i, but happy with the car.

managed to real off a few 1.08s in the last session which was very good.

hope to get diff done and some tyres for SAU track day.

yeh this one is, id speak to an engineer first.

Can i just ask somethign (and i'll be honest i haven't read the whole thread) but is this a track only car? As im looking to do an LS* V8 conversion on an R32 but am aiming for street use..

you may run into issues with the "you cant putting a V8 into a car under XXXXkg" rules

yeh not sure, ppl are putting vh45s in s13 silvias, whats a few extra cubes. whats a street trim 32 weigh?

Thankyou craved!!! 6.0L NA will do perfectly then!

Will have a detremental affect on turbo'ing it though....hmmm...oh well...as long as i can do it that's the main thing!

Is it true when you put a GM V8 in an R32 you have to for go the power steering?

They don't need turboing... It'll go like hell without one!

Think about it, take a VE Commodore with a 6.0L, what're they, 1.6T? Now drop 250KG... Throw a cam in, exhaust, tune done...

I'd have done it to mine except people want too much money!

there are also startermotor relocation kits available now which puts the starter on the other side which would solve all the issues. if your 32 goes 1350kg, you will be 450kg lighter than a VE, trust me, you dont need to turbo it. the car turns 3rd gear for fun. the torque is massive.

found a thread on sump extensions and baffeling, going to do this before next track day.

    • 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.
