Since LadyBytes has "let the cat out of the bag", Yes, I did get my skyline last night (Friday). I drove it back from Sydney.

Its a stock R34 GTT with white enkie 17" wheels and and after market air filter (pod).

These photos are from carsales, as I havent conned Tuk Tuk to take any photos yet, I really need to give it a good clean, polish and wax first, but this should give you an idea.

I'm pretty over the moon with it, Now I gotta get its rego changed over which means a few things..

The pod isnt going to get over the pits, has anyone got a stock air filter I can borrow to get this over the pits?

Also, I'm going to need tyres. Michele told me to talk to you Mick about some road federals, I dont want the 595s - I'll kill myself with them :) I'll send you a PM.

Also, big thanks to Turismo for going and having a look at the car initially for me.

Now, I guess the fun begins....

Grats on the car,looks good, as long as the pods secured it should get passed by dickson as far as I know. I had my car switched late last year and back then at least pos were legal in the act.

Thanks CeJay, I might give Dickson a call - see if I can get any sence out of them!!!will be difficult!!!

I might have to go for a quick walk one arvo to check this driveway out! =D

Pete, were your ears burning yesterday?

An old friend of yours was asking why you weren't competing in the hillclimb yesterday... said you should get your @rse out there.

Yeah? I know a few people that it might be, care to narrow it down?

Also, do you guys see many Evos or Corollas in your little street of Skyliney goodness?

Does Corollas narrow it down enough or do you need more info?

We get Evos at the track... but managed to keep them under control the last two times, they're fast though and its about their turn to come up and whip our butts.

So when are you joining us at the track? Michael said you should be there.

Get your ass out there Pete! Would be interesting to see what your beast can do around the track! Also would be good to see if the look on your face is similar to most others when the 'little' corolla cruises through quicker than them...

Actually, i'm not quite at skyline level yet, but i'm getting closer. the best look of the day was when michele came through quicker than mark in the gtr!

So i'll see u there in november Pete? :rolleyes:

    • 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
