can anyone get these made up?. i would love that set up on my 33gtr, or is anyone selling one?. bernie

Im having one made up along with a slightly different design.

Can get more made but shipping would be a pain/expense

I got a price on them which I think were 400-500 for fronts alone.

The local 'race brakes' are only 150 for fronts, my mate who was doing 1:07 at wakefield in a stock r32gtr did back2back testing with a no. of pads including some jap brands and bendix ultimate, in terms of braking power and wear the race brakes came out on top.

If anyone is interested I can find his email and post it here?

Bernie - that is a custom job BUT the apexi n1 system is the same with 2 x 3inch pipes and straight off the shelf

cheers marko, we dont really have exhaust people here that can mandrel bend and supply silencers of that qaulity, what would one cost made in oz and shipped to me..lol any takers.lol

my hks preist would probably give me 400 uk back to spend

To get a full system done in 4inch including front pipes is approx 4k aud, now to run 2 x 3 inch pipes I'd assume would be more than as it is essentially 2 exhaust systems + shipping which I would think is 500 aud.

Bernie, what's the latest with your donk :merli: nothing worse than an engine failure, other than a funeral

Try Racer Industries in Bris. Mine cost $276/pair. The 4-500 sounds like some more serious Mu pads.

  • 2 weeks later...

quick update:

my new brake setup feels phenominal...the combination of refaced factory rotors, 'race brakes' pads & motul factory line brake fluid gives me all the confidence i need, dont know how long they would last on the track though with over 400awkw :D thats ok, i'll just turn down the wick on track days (if/when i get out there)

for the 1st time, i activated my abs with fark all pressure on the pedal haha

i have noticed that my pedal sinks lower to the floor though than previously, is there an adjustment to bring in the contact point a bit earlier?

cost. if i upgrade my braking system though, i will get k-sports all around which will set me back about 4k.

refaced discs = $100

f&r pads = $300

brake fluid = $70

i also dont think i need huge brakes for the street - the likes of duncan who race in production advises that the factory gtr brakes are quite good when setup right.

i know with the power i have i should get bigger brakes - for now though, im wrapped & dont see the requirement :D

come to think of it - if i ever break this box like i did in my other gtr, i'd probably just get another gtr box exchange unit...these days u can get them for under $1000.

what is the cost to get an os gearset fitted in a box (i'd do the r&r myself)?

well its $ 2,848.10 + shipping for the 5 gear kit from RHDjapan at the moment, plus what ever it costs to have it fitted into the box/replace synchros/bearings (i remember something about the R32 box needing some R33 parts as they were stronger/better?)

Well, if you break one and spend another $1000 on another stock unit it makes sense at least to me to get the upgraded box cause the next stock one will just break again. That's my thinking anyway

when I enquired for my box I think it was something like 1500?

Then of course a donor box (350 or so for a worn out one) and a gearset (price of course depends on how wild you go)

well if it was going to cost me 3kish i'd definitely take that path. that is very cheap!

i should speak to terry @ award diff for a price on fitting the gearset.

i always thought it was up around the 7k mark?

apparently the input shaft also needs to be upgraded as well on the r32.

    • 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.
