I bought a HKS item a while ago - it's adjusted to 2 deg (I think) and proved itself by changing the driveability of the car, bringing on the boost a bit harder and earlier than before..

A gear is just a gear - as long as it has a reliable connection to the shaft and reliable locking once adjusted - I'd say wait and go the US ones for the $$.

My 2 cents..

Cam,

I guess the flipside of that is branding. People know Trust is good. When you sell your car and you say it's got Trust this and Apexi that, people know it's good stuff. I'm not saying that Uncle Sam's gears are any less good but at the end of the day, if people don't recognise the brand, they'd be tempted to choose the known brand over the unknown. That branding comes at a cost however and in car bits it's no different to clothing/shops/companies and practically everything else.

On top of all that, there's the old adage which car modifiers everywhere can't escape: -

Rice, rice baby! :P

Personally, I like the blue gears as they match my Trust I/C boost piping!

Cheers!

For those interested and just to confirm PM's.

There are two options:

1. Wait for Steve at SST to get his US gears @ $150

2. Trust gears are 12,000 Yen + Shipping (about $190 - $200)

Gears are available for SR20DET as well as RB25DET,RB26DETT and RB20DET (I believe the Skylines all fit the same gear)

PM me if you want in on a Trust gear(s) by Thursday 16/10/03.

      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.
