yeah well i have nearly 3weeks to get her back on the road, so all should be good, i hope?

the most likely case is that ive just fu**ed the battery and a few wires. theres a good chance the alternator may be good, and a slim chance ive scrambled the ECU.

it was my own stupid fault for crossing jumpers. but its just been a nightmare lately but when it rains it poors right?

i called my mate Dave (head mech at f&f imports) and had a chat about what might be wrong, if it is the ECU im gonna replace it with a power fc or microtech.

its weird my car is getting faster and more powerfull, not by choice but because shit keeps breaking and im getting more powerfull parts to fix it lol!!!

its out at Everlast now and hopefully i'll hear something tomorrow. and the damage wont be to severe, but i did enough to fill the entire car with smoke.

im not sure what they plan to do about the damage, but its bad enough to need a respray but at least the fibreglass should be able to be repaired easily enough, i might talk to Jerry out at JRacing about it and c what he thinks.

in all fairness to them they were very helpfull and friendly(both the drivers and the office) but i just hope it all works out!!!

oh, just over it eh? gonna go buy a skateboard instead i think. :)

haha, fair enough, i wound down the window to give you a wave, then realised i wasnt driving my car, so i didnt bother lol.

i kept forgetting i was driving an automatic, so i was constantly trying to change down gears and kept using the footrest as a clutch by accident.

    • 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.
