where are you located?

if youre in melb then 180athid is your best bet... he has rolled heaps and heaps of cars including my own, and takes a lot of care...

otherwise you can get a hairdryer and heat up the lip and then jack the car up and wedge newspaper or a phonebook between the guard and the tyre, then lower the jack untill the guard lips itself ( sometimes you need to sit on the car)

GOD SOME PEOPLE DONT DESERVE TO OWN SKYLINES !!! YOU CRUEL BASTARDS !!! GRINDERS ? HEAT GUNS ? F*CK ME !!! FOR F*CKS SAKE, HAVENT YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF 'DO IT PROPERLY OR DONT DO IT AT ALL ??????'

Dude, Ive had some workshops quote up to $200+ for each corner...... Your best bet is, get yourself a 'guard roller', Its a device, you remove your wheel, bolt it to the hub, and it contains an arm and a roller, starting at the middle, you work your way back and forth and tightening it up as you go, slowly and surely pumping it out, professionals use the same tool. Ive seen it for sale at VG AUTOPAINT at Girraween (NSW) for about $150 !!! you could even start your own business and get your money back after one job LOL

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
