don't be convinced till you've driven a 260 or a nicely modded rs4( some really good buys around at the moment)

I know, I know, but given that in 3 years the only mods on my R33 are a GTR exhaust, K&N Panel filter and the boost solenoid earthing, I really am looking at a stocker and the M35 is already producing way more torque than a modded RS4..

The other issue is, that the M35 is a bigger car than the C34 and that is the main reason for getting out of the R33 in the first place..

Well if you are not going the way of full performance mods (ie. turbo, injectors etc.) then a M35 would be good. M35 with rims, nicely lowered, nice exhaust and a decent stereo system is nice

a 260RS is a pleasure to drive (driven one - love to own one) but from what it sounds like you don't need a car like that...sure you get alot of people turning heads in a 260RS but an M35 you will as well...there are not many M35's around melbourne IMO (neither are S1's or S2's for that matter)

It really sounds like you want a cruiser car with a bit of power in reserve

Ben's got 3 other M35's in the yard. Tell him to take one off for you.

Cheers and welcome.

I think that one of them might be offering its rear window switch for my car anyway... Went to collect mine from Ben last week, and we all discovered that whilst the boot opens fine, the window does not...

It is just one of those things that maybe you use, maybe you don't, but if it doesn't work I know that I will need it one day...

You will use the rear window. It is much easier to open than the boot if just some thing small to put in.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      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:

      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

      By Kapr · Posted

      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
