if you buy that for me Pete, i will keep it in my garage for you?

Ha, ha, yerrrrright.......I'll buy it and rent it to you over a fixed term agreement with a residual (baloon) payment at the end.......and I get to drive it whenever I want to :O

I just got an email at work. Its the "dont buy petrol from bp and shell to trigger a price war" but in powerpoint format!

yeah, it has to be an Exon Mobil exec or similar doing the rounds with that thing.......only takes a few suckers to pass the email onto to their entire address book and its enough to go around the world twice.

I'm getting itchy feet again so I'm thinking of maybe building another bike. Something a little simpler without any bling ie, something fat with the brushed aluminium look, matt black paint and maybe a suicide shift and old skool kick start.

Here's a couple samples of possible options: (probably not everyones cup of tea, but in person they look very tuff)

actually, the top one would look even better, with a single sided swing arm! rather than the whole 1 peice frame, and the tank extended to sill the gap to the seat.,

on a bling bike I would agree with single swing, stretched tanks & frame but I'm going for a different look here.....almost 'Bobber' style rather than 'Pro Street'

Well I was always quite partial to trailbikes as a kid, was more wondering what a harley/offroad bike would look like. Similar tyres, hardcore suspension, and some more ground clearance. I'm not saying change the ride posture or make it for jumping busses, but for a general, tough as nuts off road bike. Perhaps its a stupid idea but that bike up there reminds me of steve mcqueen going across a paddock and jumping a fence (with smaller wheels heh). Basically Mad Max on a hardcore Harley...

$0.02c

Got pulled over today on Sheppards Hill Rd Blackwood by undercovers........... The guy said i sped out of a side street onto Shepps doing 61 in the 50 zone outta Blackwood, then he prcceds to tell me my car looks too low(which it is) but then says "we cant actually defect you, but a traffic cop would" i said "yeh no worries" they looked thru the car, asked if it was modded, i said "nah mate, stock as a rock, do you want me to pop the bonnet for ya" and he said "nah all good mate, have a nice day"

WTF, since when CANT a D defect you?, and why is it that i was doing "61" in a 50 zone and he didnt give me a ticket??

Nice cops tho, was from the UK, maybe it was cos im such a nice guy............

its the ex mate..CHANGE YOUR NUMBER!!!! ha ha

Its her friend actually. probably not smart messaging, coz now i have their number. I do recognise it, but i deleted all of her friends numbers a while ago! dammit.

    • 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
