Congrats Rob and Co! You must be rapt :blink:

He ran 4 7s at a meet today at Meremere NZ, all at around 176mph and the fastest of which a 7.89 @ 176mph (basically in limiter in top gear) after tuning the car for a bit more boost this week. Still running the Nissan crankshaft!

What is the fastest RB30 powered drag car anyone knows of?

And what is the minimum for the next class you're looking at?

Is there any point selling the zed? Since you've come so far wth it, if all it needs is new ratios and a trip to weight watchers - wouldnt you want to see just how far the little datto can be pushed? :P

600kg minimum for the next class we'll have the motor in (but it'll probably be around 750kg all up) and then 765kg minimum for the class we intend to run after that or if we go back to Pro Import 1060kg.

The 240z is a street car (missing headlights, wipers and a muffler, it has a 6 point street cage, glass, full dash etc, its short, it has a high COG and it has done more than I ever thought it could do, its time to get the motor into something purpose built.

What the hell is in the r32 at the 4min 18sec mark?

Another RIPS RB30'd car?

Nah, it belongs to Joe Kyle (aka Yoda) - a lad who runs his own shop in West Auckland and been around with that car for ages. If I remember rightly it runs a fully built stock displacement RB26DET with a T51R SPL on pump gas and full normal street tyres, he's not a forum goer to my knowledge or anything but its a very very tough streeter.

      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

      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
