What brand are the short shifters and price.

Are these for 32 or 33 gtst, gtr?????

HEy everyone,

I can do a group buy on quickshifters and adjustable castor rods may also be coming up shortly. Just wanting to know what sort of interest there is to know whether it's worth doing a group buy for it.

cheers

ok the shifters are dead replicas of genuine c's short shifters. Still waitin on confirmation for rb25 btu i know they can get them for rb20det 2 wheel drive. The 4 wheel boxes may be slighty different. I only quickly visited the company the other day to find out if they had anything more coming through and to buy some parts for my car. Will be back in by the end of the week to get more info. The adjustable castor rods are also copies of a particular brand which i can't remember. I'll find out by the end of the week though when i go back.

By the end of the week i will have group buy prices for the quick shifters but the castor rods are still in production etc so will be a small while yet.

I will be getting a quick shifter for myself so providing you are capable of driving a manual car with a heavy clutch your welcome to try my car if your in brisbane. I've had a fair bit of interest from the nissansilvia boys too so the quickshifter group buy will go ahead. Strutto i think they'll make them for all skyline models cuz i think they'd be silly not to. However, i haven't sussed it all out yet but i'll be in touch.

an adjustable castor rod adjusts where your wheel is positioned. ie front or back in the wheel arch. It's apparently best to have both wheels forward at a reasonable position. Adjustable castor rods allow you to adjust the castor so the wheel can be moved back and forth. Does anybody have any more to add? I found out today that the castor rods will be available at the start of january so i'll bring it back up then when they come up due to the interest. I really need these also as mine is way out of align.

Quickshifters are available now for rb20det rwd at $240. Can post interstate and im sure postage will be under $10 for most places. Also available for s13, s14 and s15 ca and sr with the 5 speed box only. I will make a new thread in group buys now i have definate prices.

Anymore questions don't be afraid to pm me. Strutto will keep everyone posted on the castor rods.

thanks

Best way I've heard castor described is by thinking of a wheel on the end of a stick (like a measuring wheel)...

If the stick is upright, and you turn the stick whilst rolling the wheel forward, the resulting change in direction is very sharp.

If you lay the stick back towards you, and then turn the stick whilst rolling the wheel forward, the resulting change in direction is more controlled.

Adjusting the angle of the stick to the ground is what adjustable castor rods allow you to do....

      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.
