So last night i was driving along south road near the very end of the expressway (near old noarlunga) and a Koala decided to take his chances crossing the road while i was driving along, couldn't avoid it because there was quite a few cars around me at the time and he completely trashed my front bumper, he also didn't come out of it so well.

anyway, long story short, i have a stock front bumper that i need to grind around my intercooler and mount it, but i a) don't own an angle grinder and b) lack the confidence to fit it myself (call me lame :wave: )

anyway, long story short, would anyone be interested in doing some work for beers or something else we could agree on to give me a hand grinding the bumper back and mounting it? would be greatly appreciated as i cringe every time i look at my car atm :/

Hacking up your front bar to fit a intercooler in is highly defectable BUT since it's a aftermarket bar, you might get away with this if it's all cut neatly!

It's mostly when you see the TX3's with the hacked up standard front bar and a huge front mount hanging out of it is when they attract defect attention.

I'm in the Southern area, but I wouldn't have a clue about cutting front bars lol. Jack might have a clue? He's Jack88 on here - lives in the Southern area. Try PMing him!

oh, sorry let me re-phrase

it smashed through my aftermarket bumper, and i was going to mount a stock one but just cut around the guards at the bottom that would hit my intercooler so it fits. it's defectable, but im pretty sure no front bumper is just as defectable :(

any mod is a defectable area,although ive heard that as long as your intercooler is behind your bumper and doesnt protrude it is accepted by regency,as long as you only trim the bumper and dont cut any support rails etc. it works for my bumper and ive been ok with it,coppers look but leave me alone,may be the grey hair ha ha

I was driving around without front bumper 3 weeks while it was being fixed... was driving past cops without it 100 times.... even got pulled over one time and cops said nothing...  >_<

    • 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.
