hey just wondering where where abouts the temp gauge is in the engine bay for the power f.c? im guessing it should be around the air filters? my car is noamally 40degC in engine bay with outside temp about 25degC driving car at 80KPH, do you guys agree with the call on 'for every 1deg of air temp drop 1% increase of power at the flywheel'? if so would be good to get some cold air around the old pod filters, maybe thats why the cold air box can be better for performance? any thoughts.........

I'm not really sure of what you mean by engine bay temperature ? I would have thought that the inlet air temp was shown but this is probably not going to reflect greatly on the temp in the bay - intercooling .

Have I missed something or do GTR's/PFC's do things differently to GTST's ? Yes I know about the IAT sensor .

Cheers A .

sorry wasnt sure if the temp sender was in engine bay or another part of intake/engine

hmmm, yeah was just thinking that your pods are drawing hot air to the intercooler then into the engine, of course the intercooler will cool it, but if they where drawing colder air into intercooler (say 20deg cooler outside engine bay) this would boost performance (colder air denser etc)????? what you think?

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
