hey all

just wondering

a) where is the best place to get a standard r33 front bar

b) is there a difference between the s1 and s2 front bars, and which looks better

and c) is there a workshop where i can rock up, give them the new oem bar, get them to cut out the hole for the intercooler, paint the bar then pop rivet an aluminium scuff plate to the bottom of it? it drags on gravel a bit, due to the incline of my works carpark.

I hear Newgel are ok, only because they managed to mount a Evo 3 front bar onto a honda civic (prev. owners decision).

You can try J racing aswell, as they even make their own body kits and from what ive seem they look like, so modding a standard shouldnt be a problem for them.

Hey Matt I have a S1 front bar in maroon from my R33 GTS and it's sitting in my backyard or garage somewhere. I can take a pic and see if it's what you're after. It's the factory original stocker, nothing wrong with it I just changed it for a different style kit few years back.

Ew Newgel, over my dead body would any of those places touch anything going on my car.

once you get the front bar go to super audio in phillop,

they do everything, and anything you want, they quoted me me a grand cheaper then j racing, and they are fixing my hole kit and re spraying and putting a pearl on it..

and new gel was even more exspensive, i'm not knocking newgel of j racing.

i personal no the quality of the work super audio do..

Good luck.

    • 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.
    • 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
