i searched this as well but can't get definite answer!

this is a summary of replies

1. it won't fit

2. it will fit but wont be flush and the side mounting points have to be pushed in cause gtr guards are wider

3. it fouls the reo <---- true or false?

If you want a GT-R front bar to fit your Series 1, but don't want to pay sh*t loads for a genuine item - take a look at Powerplayimports.com and check out there east bear bumpers, they make replica's of the GT-R kits for normal skylines that bolt straight on and they are plastic not that crappy fibreglass stuff.

can someone who actually got a genunie r33 gtr bumper on there gtst post how they fitted it?

like did you really need to cut into the reo to make the bar fit? i'm not too fussed about the guards not lining up and stuff since i don't use bolts to hold the bar on

mick from micolour told me that its definatel possible and that it can fit properly, but its not cheap :D

do you reckon 20mm front guards will help? mine are kinda rusting so considering getting wider fibreglass guards

im not too fussed that the gtr bar fits properly as long as it goes on without hacking into the reo

and i probably bend the bar at the sides and cable tie it to the guards!

cause i can't seem to find a series 2 front bar for cheap

    • 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.
