Yeah KGC10 Old School Cool FTW!!

I rallied one of those S54's years ago

Bought 2 for $500 ( a GTA and a GTB)

The years have not diminished my memories of how horrid a car they were.

Parts were a nightmare with Nissan parts guys hiding whenever I came in looking for bits

Internet nowadays could solve a lot of that problem now

But must say that one in carsales looks in far better nick than the one I had

What CSA said X2.

....But if you do buy remember you are buying a hobby. Without the Prince register network it can be a long and lonely road when the inherent characteristics of what is now a very rare 40+ year old car come to light. An enthusiast will experience a rare joy that goes with the ownership of a classic Skyline GT-B, and this one is one of the best out there.

A couple of weeks ago I spotted a KGC10 GTR or maybe look-a-like on the M5 heading north towards the M7 interchange, rego 3300 H or K in a bronzy gold colour. Looked grewat from where I was and in excellent condition.

Yes! One of the four KGC10's in Sydney at the moment. All Silver KPGC10 look a likes. That particular one you saw is running in a new motor. All straight 6's with triple twin choke side draughts. I like to think of them as GT-Bs a few years on :P

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
