Teins are ok. I have some in my car atm and they do the job pretty well.

If you have a bit of money to spend on suspension i would get front and rear adjustable camber arms (especially if your going to lower it heaps).

Adjustable sway bars, and also come castor rods. With a HICAS lock bar and the subframe bushes that will provide a lot better handling than most gtr's.

Try not to get solid subframe bushes as apparently they make the ride quite uncomfortable it its a street car but then you may not care. :ph34r:

nice reply:)

re: subframe bushes where does one aquire them?

lockbars are all the same i guess

no one knows what the bits are above? dang :D

They're the subframe mounting bushes. The other stuff being talked about are sometimes called "pineapples" or "subframe alignment kits". If you use the metal ones i'm fairly sure it just locks the subframe to the chassis so the mounting bushes wont be able to flex at all. So - if your thinking about using the metal ones dont bother changing your mounting bushes if they're shagged, because there's no point. Personally i wouldnt use the metal ones on a street car but YMMV.

Installing subframe mounting bushes is difficult (or expensive) if you get someone else to do it.

The neoprene pineapples work with the bushes, and stiffen them up. They also allow you to change the tilt of the axle to change the rear traction characteristics (ie more grip for drag, no change, or less grip for drift. The whitelines' do at least. You use 4 out of the 6 then send depending on what setup you want). They're much easier to install than subframe bushes.

    • 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.
