Pffft. Haters :)

It's a gem of a car. About the only thing you can't do in 6th is roll off the line but it will pull away nicely from 50kmh cruising through small towns.

Now looking for the cash to get membership.....or hopefully James can call on me again.

And.....I didn't fill the tank but it needs detailing before next use anyway. Bugs vs RS4 = no contest. And auto wipers FTW!!

More detail to follow.

Oooh, I forgot to mention the blonde hitchikers. Actually didn't pick them up and barely avoided the rapidly reversing local built barge stopping for them but,....

Would be the perfect machine for that too, luggage and all.

James it was my pleasure and please call again anytime.

Feel free to use, edit and use, link to, or quote me on any of my comments or pictures as well. With your permission I will offer a more polished version to some magazines for possible publication with due credit and reference to your organisation.

Kaz, thanks for the heads up as well. I really enjoyed trying something different.

BTW, James cannot leave Melbourne. It wouldn't be the same without him, and by that I mean it wouldn't be any better. He is welcome to visit as often as he can.

James, just had a quick Q from a mate. Know anything amusing about this?

Has he heard about the Audi launch at Hamilton Island?

I'm not sure I got the full details...

Audi sent a few cars up there (R8??), and a few journos and interested buyers.

the first run, some guy takes off down the runway flat out...

was a small problem with the brakes (as in, they didn't work) - he left the end of the runway, but went down not up

not sure how true it is!

      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.
