great day and steep learning curve. Had an excellent time. Thanks to all who helped in the garage and also the seniors for their great advice. Would have been good to get someone in the car but after my turn 2 incidents i couldnt see many people would put their hand up.lol. Its good to know that the car will double for a lawn mower.

Gotta say thanks to EVERYONE who put this day together.

And I wish I were feeling as "uber" as everyone else, unfortunately, it's rebuild time... :(

I believe my car was first casualty of the day...

First session out was good, with Brad giving some handy tips.

Second session out, I was enjoying it, until it ended early with an injector wire coming off.

Third session out, I was having a ball, out there on my own, chasing two other cars around the circuit, up until around the 4th or 5th lap, where my engine decided to let loose a big end bearing...

Car was insanely fun, wheel spinning at 130KM/H down the main straight... :blink::) :)

Absolutely awesome, I was in the newb patrol, and although the drivers briefing was long, I learned alot from it. Thanks to everyone at SAU for putting this on, I was pretty nervous, but after a few laps you get the groove of it. That beast R33 white machine was loco, well done. Heres a quick video I did up for the day!

Hey All,

I had a great day. Big thanks to the organizers and helpers :) What a fun track! So we've got it again in August huh?

Another big thanks to the organisers. Was really an awesome day.

Unfortunately brake issues meant i couldn't get more than 1 quick lap a session. Rears went at Wakie last month, looks like fronts have now gone also. When's the next track day? Third time lucky i guess.

A massive thanks to Paul (MADGTR) for both jumping in with me in the morning, and then taking me for a spin later on. Really appreciate it mate. Cannot believe the difference in the way your car pulled up on brakes, compared to mine.

Yeah a big thanks to the organisers and helpers today, you guys are the true performers cause all of this wouldn't happen without you. :)

We had an awesome day (apart from the little mishap after lunch involving an oil line which ended the day for us, curiously enough Duncan had just finished taking the car for a spin :) ) The car was incredible all day and even drove onto the trailer which was is always a bonus (who said RB's aren't reliable?)

Glad to hear everyone had a ball and hope to see you all at the next one. :blink:

      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.
