Well on the weekend had to make an emergency trip out to dubbo...anyway went through mudgee, wellington etc...the whole time i was down there...i saw 1 (thats right...1 import) and that was in mudgee on the way back yesterday.

I know of at least 1 member on here (raps86) lives in bathurst...and i used to live there..

I'm just curious if there's any other country ppl with imports?

Steve's Auto Barn

...owned by Steve Philips is at Blackheath. Good name!

He services Nissan Imports (as well as other cars) in the local area and...

He had one of his cars on the front cover of Zoom Mag. called 'Buster'. It's now owned by his head mechanic Wayne.

He himself owns an R34 GT-R. He hoisted my 2 cars up for inspection at point of sale/purchase.

He also has a new 4WS wheel alignment section (albeit 2 yrs old now).

Bus. No. is 47877172

While I don't live out west any more (not since I was 5 any way :P), a few times a year I drive to Gilgandra or a property near Burren Junction.

I have to say, the Skyline handles the roads to and from these places no problem, providing I don't get rained in. 2WD + mud = epic fail lol

ive just moved out west for a while to a place called orange and its full of imports. But it is kinda pointless being a small town and all as the cops are always harrasing ya and theres no where you can really go for a cruise.

      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
