Gday Guys

im thinking about buying a skyline pretty soon but im not to sure if i should buy a GTR or a GTS-t. I was talking to a friend and he said that the GTR diffs are electrical and u can re wire them so the car can be rear wheel drive. is this true or total crap?

Cheers Andy :P

u can get a torque split converter the run the rear wheel drive only, commonly used on gtr drag cars to perform burnouts, then switch back to awd to launch. buy a gtr

Oh wicked, how easy is it to get torque split converter? thanks for your help 2BNVS

Andy

Rustic engineering sells torque split controllers, I don't think my spelling is right, they were doing a group buy at one point.

I think the alias was Lunatikk or similar.

Anyway, R33 / R34's cannot be run in RWD only mode for long as there is always some engagement of the front wheels...R32's don't have an issue with using RWD.

yeah i got a 32 gtr all you have to do is pop the fuse out in ya engine bay and shazaam RWD. if ya into it its perfect gtr's smoke the crap out of tyres through 1st and 2nd in basically stock form. much better in AWD though grip is the way. what better car to smoke the 5.0litre boys!

    • 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
