Guys/Girls,

Anyone know where i can borrow a Tap and Die set from like now or early tomorow?????

when i put my steering wheel on about a year ago i cross threaded the 19/18mm nut that holds it on to the steering column... never bothered to fix it until i got bored today and took it off (was originally too scared cause it wouldnt come off at all...) and now i want to put it back on before tomorows race... anyone know anyone with one i can borow for about 20mins???

Damn it, if only you tell me a bit early would have been good. I work at WURTH AUST so things like that is easy fix but i just got home from work and as you know i'm having tomorow off as well so ....can't just turn up tomorow at work for something then leave !

well ur racing so u only need to go straight

get the car towed there, then just race and have a shifter holding onto the steering thing or something

your gonna lose anyway arent you? wasnt that the plan?

p.s: buy a puppy

ha ha, I was actually starting to think "tap and die" was a metaphor:

tap the accelerator and the car dies

tap the accelerator and turbo dies etc

or

tap into the race and die of embarassment...

I will stop there :D

stfu gordon!! wheres ur car again? no not the clapped out ford.

dont worry it will be fine to get there and back i just wanted to finally fix something thats been bugging me for a year... but not enough for me to bother fixing rofl.

new forcast now... looks like its going to be windy with SOME showers.... so it should be good to go!!

seriously though Ni - throw in some teflon tape for good measure!

And good luck with the race - hopefully it happens this time :D

Regardless of who wins, you will have fun and hopefully crack some nice times too.

    • 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.
