from your photo it just looks like LCA, there designed to bend / fold like that to take the impact. from the pics it looks like minimal damage.

get a few quotes, you might find you can get a new turbo out of it. lolz

Hahaha f*$kin cats and dogs aye! Well the car has been repaired and just needs a wheel alignment, which I am going to hold off doing until I get my teins and rims ;) .

All up cost me $225 for the control arm, $100 bucks for my dads mate (mobile mech) to replace it and $1880 for the panel repair (also had the front of my car where my missus sister reversed into it fixed). So happy with the panel repair done by City Crash Repairs in Townsville, car looks new! I rocked up and the car was polished (and clay barred), wheels cleaned up and the interior vacuumed. Great service highly recommended guys!

Mate I bought my 33 smacked up it had taken a hit in the exaxt same position but about 3x worse than that. the guard was caved in alot worse aswell. $50 for a 2nd hand control arm you can take the old one out and put the new one in yourself theres all of about 4 bolts. That will get your car rolling again way. There was no chassis or subframe damage to mine and as i said it was far worse than that. The panel damage is minimal would take no time to have it looking brand new again. Don't get sucked in by some panel beater telling you the damage is far worse than it is, because its nothing. It will take 10mins to replace the control arm and go from there

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      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:

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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
