A question for the locals - can you still find option magazine at your local conbini? I used to buy it regularly when I first came to japan (usually option 2, which is a more parts-centric), but I can't find it on the shelves (or even under the shelves) at any of the local stores now...

Is this just my area?

In fact, all of the modified car mags seem to be gone now - there's only the car classified mags and the occasional issue of the 'spy shot' style new car mags...

yeah, I had a look on their website (http://www.jdm-option.com/index2.php) earlier, it's just that they used to be everywhere, now it seems (at least in my area) I have to go to a bookshop to find one

They have them right across the street from where i work, Brian. Also the local mag store at my station stocks them.

What were you chasing exactly? I should be able to hook you up.

Let me know. :D

When i was over there in Jan we were looking everywhere for Option mag,after a week of random searching i just picked up a copy of Option 2. So to here that you are having trouble finding one does sound odd.

I'm not after anything, it was just a random realisation I had the other day.

I'll wander across the street and check out family mart (I usually only go to the lawsons)

lol, nice avatar Brian. :banana:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      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:

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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
