just look up the sections at the top of the main R35 page if you cant get the links going.

Maybe your browser is blocking things

dead thread. this thread is dead.

I have been reading too much Dr suess to the kids.

The Slotted rotors and MX72 pads went well at the track the other day. quiet as a mouse too during my daily commute.

keen to try the carbotechs though in the future.

the carbotechs will squeal like a p.ig with OEM, slotted or jhook rotors. However the jhooks do make a "clicky" noise with the jhook sliding/cutting over the pad surface, nothing near as bad as the carbotech squeal. FWIW, i've switched to the MX72's and personally i have found them very kind to rotors, virtually squeal free, cheap, probably 90% the performance of the carbotech xp12's - good for my requirements.

09 GTR and I tried the MX72's but at bathurst last year the front backing plate on the pads delaminated. They just couldnt handle the heat. Maybe it was the track?

I find the carboteks much better anyway than the MX72's.

If you order them yourself from the USA they are cheaper than the MX72's.

I can give you my contact in the US if you want it.

Interesting about the backing plate. I'll have to check mine out. I guess bathurst is anpother kettle of fish. FWIW we can get the mx72's for $699US a set.

Thats a pretty good price. So converts to about $800 Aust delivered?

I can get the Carboteks for about $700 Aust delivered.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      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.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
