hey all i got the whiteline front and rear swaybars from the group buy and also pineapples fitted in the 'all round performance' position, standard otherwise

Just wondering sometimes when i go around a bend in the wet the front slides than the back comes around. I have the front on the softest setting and the rear is on either the stiffest or 2nd stiffest setting

can i help this from happening or i have to practice better weight transfer??

OK brand new nankang ns2, 225 45 17 maybe 90% tread

40psi pressure all around

normal driving but i guess it would be the same on circuit.

it is evident in the rain the most

havent really done it in the dry

You cant expect much grip from cheapo rubber like NS2's

Try 35 to see how it goes. Also check If the inside of the tyre is wearing out more than the edges (which means you're running too much pressure)

<edit my retarded comment> double check the rear bar is on hard (ie the inner setting). Otherwise get a decent suspension shop to check your alignment.

BTW - is the brake squeal sorted? What was the fix?

Thanks for the comments, all taken into account

Yes i forgot to mention i do have a hicas lockbar. And you're probably right it is my driving style

Re the brake squeal. Yes it is sorted enough for me to not worry about it.

Greased up all the pins and shims, et voila noise is gone! although it does come back after the brakes heat up after some spirited driving but i am pretty sure it is because i used wheel bearing grease instead of copper grease (which i now have a hold of - 1100deg rating!) which, with the heat is melting the grease and it loses its greasing properties.

Thats my half-assed theory anyhow.

Thanks once again lads

I know with my rear bar on the stiffest, on the track was more oversteer.

I now have both my sway bars on medium. seems to have balanced it a bit.

Id say driving style also :/

    • 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
