Hey,

The 3rd episode was on Friday nite at 8pm (as it is every week). The show had massive potential, until Ian Luff was made the head honcho because he praises everyone through the event cheering and saying how brilliant their cars are but then smacks them down at the end saying they are pathetic and car can't handle and has too much power yadda yadda.

<cut cut>

Andrew in the 200SX spends more time in the workshop than the track and at best will finish the show in last position.

I actually watched the first episode and parts of it were good but what really confused me was when he was driving around the skidpan and his ratings afterward.

I thought the ratings were handling based because he knocked the big V8's for lack of handling, and even the Ferrari and complimented the Torana because he could control it with the accelerator.

But then he got the 200SX through with a really quick time and pretty good handling, complimented it and got to the review and put it nearly last for that event!

The rating system makes no sense to me, most of the cars are pretty impressive though.

still think luff is a tool. the show was moderately interesting, i'd like to know how people can afford to twin turbo a 360 though!

probably won't bother looking out for it again, it just didn't grab me. the first drag "challenge" was a waste of time, anyone who is still frying tyres at half track isn't taking it seriously.

seems to me like it's just an excuse for luff to indulge himself, and the car owners to get their moment in the spotlight so they can show off and have people stroke their ego.

Ive seen all the episodes.And i must say none of them can drive.They just put their foot to the floor and expect the car to do the rest.6 out of the 7 drivers spun in the motokana.Even with Ians instuctions they still spun.

So they all deserved the caining that Luffy dished out.

      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.
