So there using parts (engine and springs) not certified in the series? Hmm crazy.

lol... they have been gone over... apparently the scruiteneers (sp?) were being very nasty this meet.

Their holden utes are under suspicion for the rear toe arm - its adjustable but an OEM adjustable arm. So it's debateable - no fines or exclusions sooooo fingers crossed.

Homebush will be interesting to say the least!!

The crank angle sensor chopper wheel had been tinkered with and was not in the correct position. (apparently - this is still subject to rumour at this stage)

All the engines are sealed, only way in is via the sump :)

Very stringent obviously. I didn't know that thought it was slightly open slather.
so basically they have to run the cars in close to stock trim? or are they allowed to change certain things on them to help with handling etc?

The cars all run the same gear... motors are stock, ecu's all have a controlled flash etc...there is no changing of anything, they all must run the same controlled items determined by the series... even tyres.

Cool. Karn Lowndes!

Side note.. Me thinks there needs to be more footage of the V8 girls.. Yep.

a quick recording of the XXXX angels pre-race performance comes in handy during the ad breaks. :( < Garry Rogers

    • 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.
