^^^^^ spot on ^^^^^

Although there seems to be a problem with Tim's cooling- no matter how good your cooling set-up is eventually with consistent laps, temps are going to get bad on a day like that. I know it's hard to resist sliding the corners on the cool down laps :) but you better off getting the cool air into the engine bay than going off and letting the car just sit idling.

I ran thicker oil 10w-60 and although I doubt it helped with temps at all it certainly stayed thicker when I checked it during the day than my usual 5w-40 which turns to water. Oil pressure was dropping to 2bar and Tim said his got as low as 1bar!!

Looks like the skylines are all coming out this year for the drifts... Was getting sick of all the silvias :/

Haha.

you'll be disappointed that I might be in a sil80 at the next event if we get it ready in time. Me and 2 others (Femno-mat and DriftSX-Tim) are building a stripped out drifter. Will be sick.

I remember sitting in the start line with my oil and water temp both at 100 and saying to myself ok just grip this lap to let the car cool down...and as soon as i got to the first corner i slide the whole back section haha :D

We have to have it done by the end of march as we're heading to Thailand for 10 days before the April event...

But during March, my hubby is also in Sydney for about 4 days for VW training so we need to get as much done as possible straight away...

We're a good team when it comes to stripping and building cars :(

      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.
