Hi!

I've installed front s14 lower control arms. And my alignment is way off. I can't keep the car straight with this kind \ / of toe out.

How the hell did that happen ? How should I correct it ?

Ahh, and I got stock front shocks in front now. Waiting for my leaky front coilover with adjustable camber top to return.

Anyone had similiar problems ?

Thanks!

wait sorry... dis is a 5 stud conversion rite? so u got front s14/15 hubs.

u need 2 get da s14 lca's pushed out and have 'whiteline' push in ur s13/a31 lca's

:D

oh unless u like alot of camber(can be gud for oversteering/under/grip etc depending on set up) and bad tyre wear?

yea that wud be it. :P

as far as i know it cud be the steering rack conection, not bolted/screwed all da way in the female bit, or screwed in too much?

coz its seems the same wen we were doing my mates hi-cas lock bar install.aka wen it wasnt screwed all the way in etc.

ur female steering rack connector mite be too deep, compared to the a31/s13 one that mite be shorter

let me no if u dont get me :thumbsup: i'll make up a diagram :P

LOL

u need a wheel alignment dude, you cant expect to change a major susp component to a longer one and not effect the alignment. Your best bet is to wind the tie rods out on BOTH SIDES 7 full turns (put a mark on the top and count the rotations) this should bring it back to stockish.

mine was toeing out ridiculasly when i did my 5 stud conversion (with s14 LCA), wound in the tie rods by *sight* and chucked it on the wheel aligner at work and had near 0 toe either side :D doubt if id be able to do it again lol

    • 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.
