That critic guy was dickhead.

agreed..." well you wont necessarily be getting much fuel economy because you have to carry all the water, adding extra weight"

that guys knob... i dont think an extra 20kg is going to affect shit... almost the same as a sub

not so sure about the power output staying the same though

The reporter is an asshole. He spilt all that water :blink:

But the nerd made up for it when he drank the exhaust fumes :blink:

Funny, our kids are gonna come on these forums and ask "How do i mod my car?" and the reply is "buy a bottle of water"

haha! yea drinking the exhaust was a bit nasty... an yea the critic has no idea... im still skeptical on the power though... how could it stay the same with all that water???

Speaking to my old man, they used to build water powered engines for thier race cars. same basic principle of a steam train. apparently because you cant combust steam you can actualy 'gain power' if its tuned right. Also apparently a steam engine makes more torque than a deisel :)

in my old mans race cars though they would only switch to water power at the exits of corners as a 'power boost' an then convert it back to petrol on the straights and corner entries.... this is all hard for me to beleive

    • 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
