Hi all

I have found a abandoned skyline, I wont say what type, or where on the northside, but I have reported it to police and they are looking into it. If you have lost a skyline RECENTLY (found tonight - car seems fairly intact, possibly a joyride? Definatly abandoned.) please post here what type, if it match's ill PM you with more details.

I dont want to say more incase I tip someone off that the police may be onto them. However I am posting this beacuse while the police seemed intrested in what I have to say, the QLD police's track record with this stuff isnt great.

Thanks

Ian

Shouldn't we organise with the Police to pick the thing up and store it for the owner temporarily, we are a Skyline Club and would be doing a service or would that be touching on legalities ? Just a thought don't flame me. :)

We cant touch it at all...

If we touched it, thats stealing... Even if you have the best intentions in mind, you cannot tuch it without the owners concent...

We dont know why its there the owner may have just run out of fuel and is coming back for it, or the owner whats it stolen to claim insurance, who knows...

The police know its there and thats all we can do apart from sit on the side fo the road and watch it until someone comes to get it...

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

      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:

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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
