That is so great that there is such a age gap? that appreciate the skyline. I was always under the impression that it was mainly the younger people that where interested in this car. WOW 18 to 50 didn't know it was so broad.

Yep I'm 54 later this month.

So far I've owned

S54

C110

C211

R30

R31

R32

R33

R34

V35

OK I've been a Skyline tragic for 35 odd years before they became trendy

Last few posts have upped the average

Turned "60" in April - still a couple of yrs younger than Jim Richards & still can't see myself driving an auto.

Can't afford an R35 import for a while yet anyhow. :P

So yeh, I was born in the 1st half of last century - just!

For a lark, I've sometimes contemplated walking across the road towards my car holding a white cane & wearing dark sunnies >

Then I'd shock the living daylights out of the onlookers driving a car like this :wub:

Datsun 1600 was my 1st car "new"; then,

Datsun 180B "used"

Ford Escort Van "Pharmacy Van"

Datsun 240K "new"

Alfetta GTV 2l. "new"

Sigma SE "used"

Volvo 245GL "new" to keep the family safe; but still got booked by police in light aircraft over Woodford

Skyline R31 Silhouette "new"

Mazda 929 "used"

Maxima G "used"

Alfa Romeo 164Q "used"

Skyline R33 GT-R (midnight purple)

Honda Prelude 5th Gen "used"

BMW 328Ci "used" + N13 Pulsar (daily)

Skyline R34 GT-R (pearl black) + Prelude 4th Gen (daily)

BTW, for the record, there were 2 guys older than me at the R34 GT-R 10th Anniversary Drive; which made me feel better :P

    • 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
