Hey guys my names jason as you may have guessed i live in alice springs. I am seventeen and i just bought a MR30 Sedan a while back it's really a shit heap but not when i'm done with it i've just started putting in the new L20et i bought there were a few f up's along that way the guy that sold it to me told me it was complete but it's missing bits galore which makes the build just a little bit slower, the Car is a 1982 MR30 a Door sedan by the looks of it the original colour was that horible mint green and the dick who owned it last spray painted the exterior black and white but left the inside boot, bonnet and door jams green. Anyway before i even think bout exterior work i will finish this engine build up, a mate of mine is getting me a R34gtt Intercooler and in $700 time i will be fitting an after market exhaust to it, but for now neeto deal with the problems at hand which is currently the motor and getting the sucker going. Anyway those who r interested stay tuned to this thread for more details of the build up it should be a fairly tight street car when it's done.

Did you buy the L20ET off eBay a few months back for about $600.00? I think it was in Newcastle NSW.

No i actually bought it here in alice of a guy that owns a HR30 Twin Turbo Coupe that is fully decked out he didn't need the original engine anymore

well i was told buy this guy that gave me the engine that it would just Quote "drop in" well that is really a load of crap ive had more trouble with the transplant than i can think of we have the L20ET in there but now what i have to do is take the entire destributer of the old motor and put it on the new one but to do that we have to pull the head and everything off the old one just to take the front off anyway this had better turn out good for all the man hours me and mate have put in

      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
