Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this is the right section but I thought I would post up some photos I took at a recent get together.

Skylineowners.com and mkivsupra.net arranged a little drive for the end of March 2009. As usual with any event about half didn't turn up on the day but that still left about 50 Skylines and 10 Supra's to make the drive to Galway, Ireland where we stayed over and had some fun in town.

I hope you like the photos, I'll try add some more later on when I upload them.

Alan.

Nice!

I was in Ireland for 5 weeks and saw one skyline the entire time! Knowing what insurance is like up there its not too suprising... good to see there are some there though!

What part of Ireland did you stay in?

If you had of done some home work (found an Irish forum) we could have arranged a little get together for you.

Its the one thing i hate about being away from home- no car (gay rentals don't count).

Insurance is a pain in the ass here, not only do we get charged stupid amounts of money but it is getting harder to get lately.

example: Im 32, have a full license 12 years, no points or convictions, 7 years no claims bonus and I've passed the advanced motorist exams but when I tried for insurance last year I got refused by 17 insurance companies because of the "type" of car I drive- a R32 GTST

WOW knocked back by 17 insurance companies??

Looks like they really dont like imports!!

Hopefully one day i can visit Ireland. Such a beautiful country.

Was in europe just recently, but didnt have time to visit you guys up top :P

Yeah when i told my cousins i had a gtr and was 23 yrs old (at the time) they were speechless! haha.

I was all over; Dublin, Galway but then predominantly in the west with family.

    • 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.
    • 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
