I have just put the HR Series into my '95 R33.

I have done one track day at barbagallo (WA) and found the base setting to be way too stiff in the rear.

they feel really good but are way to hard for the road.

I am going back to the track in 2 weeks for a tuning day and we will try tuning it in better. I am looking forward to better times once we fine tune it a bit better.

back ground is that this car is registered but will only be used for track days.

If you were mostly using your car for the road then i would go for the HS Series.

tbh if ur interested in "tuning" them id try and see if u can get them on a shock dyno, cheap dampers like these generally have pretty poor adjustment, not all of the adjustments will have an "acceptable" curve, in fact in some in some cheap damper dynos ive seen theres only been one setting with anything even resembling a proper curve. they seem to have a base adjustment, and all the adjustments from there have progressively worse curves.

id be finding the base adjustment with the best curve and just sticking with that, regardless of how hard or soft it is, a lot of the difference between the soft and hard settings can just be high frequency which gives the feeling of a harder setting, but doesnt actually control roll much if any more, and can just cause worse traction.

    • 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.
