Hi Guys,

have got a 31 series 3 wagon for the girl and it is stock as a box..just bought a series 3 sedan with lowered king springs, wheels and a 2in lukey exhaust with extractors..

My question is..Will the springs out of the sedan fit the wagon and will the exhaust fit without mods..Any help appreciated, I just dont want to start pulling things apart if they wont fit..

Cheers,

John

what city are you from?

the best thign to do would be to ring spare parts sales.....

and i dont mean Nissan..... but an Automotive spare parts interpreter...

they will have a record of listings to suit exact year models etc.

so that way you could find out if the sedan or wagon are the same...

i know of a decent place in sydney, so let us know...

Front springs will go in no probs, rears different , as you found. Exhaust should be quite similar, wheelbase is identical, but wagon body is slightly longer, exhaust tips will end up further under the car, also, drivers side rear floor is slightly different, but on the exhaust side, they should be close to the same.

      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.
