hi guys, haven't been on here for while but something has come up that you guys my be able to shed light on.

during some research on non turbo models i've come across a variant of the r33 gts that has vented discs on the rear. 266mm by 18mm. to date i believe this model to be named the gts urban liner s (might have a different name in different areas) its an auto (at least the one i know of is) and has the rb20e engine.

anyone ever come across these rear discs before? and more importantly had to source replacements? after much searching replacements for vented rears at this size with integral drum brake are rarer than a Scotsman buying a round of drinks!

any and all help and suggestions would be great.

si

My R34 25GT Sedan had 265mm Rear Discs with single pot calipers...not sure if that really helps you much though :D It was a pain to get any decent discs for them as well, I ended up upgrading the whole brake set up in the end. I was only able to get 265mm in plain non-slotted items. I'm wondering if it's the same brakes that were used on the R34 Sedan.

Yeah, both front and rear ventilated, front were 280mm 2 pot caliper, the rear were 265mm 1 pot caliper.

These were the front 280mm that I had removed:

And these are the rear 265mm ones:

The front calipers:

The Rear Calipers:

Not sure if visually they are the same? Wouldn't suprise me if Nissan used them on more than one model Skyline, and if it's a RB20E than it's hardly going to need the bigger brakes in its stock form (after all these came of a RB25DE R34 Sedan).

If they are the same, then don't expect to find many aftermarket listings for the rear brakes. My local brake shop told me they could get them in plain RDA discs. Getting anything better than that seemed near impossible, and with a turbo conversion on the way I just upgraded them, and saved the hassle for future replacement parts.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      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.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
