im never gonna forget that damo ditched the dori teks to rock them at auto salon last year i think it was.

hahaha

They were different size rims. Skyline had 18x8's, i lent Damo my ute rims 19x8 front and 20x9 rear.

A lot of ppl here are using the term "JDM"..... Do ppl actually understand what it means? My mum's corolla is more "JDM" than most imports. I'm sick of ppl seeing a kitted import with big rims etc and then saying crap like " Sweet ride man, thats so JDM"

"JDM" STANDS FOR ANY CAR RELEASED IN THE JAPANESE DOMESTIC MARKET, IN ITS STANDARD FORM.

A BMW or Audi when sold off the showroom floor in Japan is "JDM" As it has been made to comply with Japanese standards before being sold and is therefore "jap spec"

In point of fact, for any car that has been modified you could say that its no longer "JDM"

Unfortunately the term jdm has been picked up by guys in their late teens and early 20's over the past five years to describe fully modified, "fully sick" imports and more and more is being used in the wrong context.

just some fuel for further discussion.

well technically fitting aftermarket parts manufactured for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), to a car built for the JDM, would mean it looks JDM.

its just a work people relate to a certain style, it implies that style.

for example calling someone a dickhead implies that they are an idiot, not necessarily that they have a male penis on there forehead.

as opposed to a female penis?

:D

next we move to the term "RICE" the old meaning, a term used by bogans when talking about any japanese car

recent meaning movement towards any modifications that do not make a car go faster. however there seems to be some grey areas with that. is tinting your car windows rice? getting nice non crome looking rims? installing a stereo etc?

DISCUSS :banana: o wait this isnt the wasteland

    • 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.
