Hey all just thought id mention the new parts shop opening in Hobart. Right in town. Watchorn street, little one wayer that runs from liverpool to bathurst. Anyway i went up for a look today but hasnt quite opened yet. Its called... SLIP & GRIP RACEGEAR.

From what ive heard from a bloke whos been in the shop already they have some pretty good gear. They will be the dealer down here for KTS suspension i know that much. Dont Know the name of the guy whos opening/owning but no doubt someone on here will. Did a search and doesnt seem like anyone has mentioned it on here yet so ill start the Hype :)

Anyone know anymore about this...

I spoke to an old school mate a while ago and he is opening the store.

He has quite a lot of knowledge in the import scene and is really having a crack!

I hope people support him, We can never have to many businesses like this around!

I wish him all the best. (Used to live with Dave and Sam Murray in Kingo - Tim Brown) some of you would know him.

Pretty sure we already do, my condolences to whoever goes bust first. A town the size of Hobart can't support 3+ Import specific parts retailers.

And we all know none of them will go close to matching the prices you can buy stuff online for (e.g. via perfectrun etc).

However, good luck to them, personally in this instance I would LOVE to be wrong and see them all prosper.

    • 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.
