Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

^ peak power is not everything chase the torque it lasts longer and dosnt require as much thrashing to get around with some decent power plus you can spank people in the wrong gear :)

Oh dont worry, ive got more down low torque than most worked V8's, but i dont run out of steam half way through like they do! lol!

Ha ha Inline, yeah GRIM is a lil bit nasty with the flame side of things...its a good way of making people not sit to close to the back of the car when driving!

Yeah you got a mild taste of it on the weekend Roo, keep in mind thats only at 13 psi, wait until we add the other 10psi to it! lol!

Oh, I'm fully aware of the lack of the 10psi Ben :P But I do agree you'd want AWD back when you've dialled in the new boost.

I've wound my boost back to 7psi from 10psi since swapping the turbo, until I can get the SAFC and tune her properly. When I get the SAFC, and do the shift kit, I'll run 13psi and that'll be it performance wise. Like I said earlier, its for that reason that I can't spend stupid money getting stupid power. Been there, done that, many times over. If I wanna go fast now, thats what my bikes are there for :P

... but I have no quarrels riding in the cars of others who have done it :)

Another day.... another defect :D yay.....

That sucks! :(

Me and the GF were out getting takeaway last night and a cop car ahead slowed right down so I caught up with him (me in the LH lane, him in the RH lane). Then the cops took a long hard look at the Stagea ... I turned into the takeaway shop I wanted and I saw them pull across the two lanes and park up the road. They must have given up, by the time we got our order they couldn't wait :D

You have to squeeze the caliper pistons back into the caliper either using a proper tool, a G clamp or two screw drivers....

MIN, a baffle plate between the cat flanges will do the trick.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
