Haha sorry dude, wasn't being a jerk, just meant that you weren't missing anything urgent by not being able to open the pdf.

Weather expected to clear in Goulburn on Sunday, should be a great day!

Everything is good at my end, actually it was the fastest load up i've ever had (having the car on the trailer saved me an hour).

Got some gadgets for you to play with tomorrow Stu.

GoPro HD and a RaceLogic PerformanceBox

Well, that was fun!

I think it certainly was! The weather was absolutely perfect for racing :P

The usual smooth running by circuit club! The rumbling of a Ls1 in a yellow 32 going pass - MAD!

Awesome skylines turnout! Made it home in time to watch Underbelly :(

The standard g/box gave way on the last turn on my HOT lap :(

Was on a PB unofficially - Jesson Button eat ur heart out!! :(

yeh thumbs up to the circuit club guys who ran a great day. Weather held up well although a little chilli for the spectators apparently.

mixed day as we had issues early getting on top of the tune, but after finally being able to collect some data we got it very close.

car was suffering from understeer for most of the day, could only get 3 or 4 decent laps per session before the fronts went off.

After finalising the tune the car was making alot more power and the 20 year old lsd started to get tired so getting traction out of the tighter corners like turn 2, the fishhook and the final turn was difficult.

was very happy to rattle off a few 1.08s in the last session with the best being a 1.085.

bit of work too do but alot achieved also.

good to see all the sau guys and girls setting pbs also.

yeah you totally didn't expect the 1.08s hey stu.

i was just knocking on the door of 1.12s with my last time of 1.13.03

Ren set some wicked times!

a fair bit of congestion on the track i found, was very difficult to get a clear run but i definitely got a few in before the end of the day!

Yup another superb CircuitClub day, these guys really know how to organise and operate trackdays.

I was grouped with much nicer (slower) drivers this time round which allowed me to watch ahead instead of my mirrors all day. Was good to actually be able to overtake some cars this time. Managed to equal my PB (1:18) in the first session of the day which was weird because I felt like I was backing off due to slow cars infront the entire session.

The session after I dropped that down 2sec to 1:16 with relative ease, mainly turns 3-4-5-6 up on the hill I think, using heaps less brakes and just using the gears to slow me up.

The 3rd timed session I dropped it another 2sec down to 1:14 which I think once again was gained through the top of the hill and also the turn 1-2 kink/corner.

Apart from 1 bonnet pin coming loose the little beast didnt miss a beat all day. I was also happy with my driving, no locked brakes, didnt go off the track at all or get sideways anywhere for the entire day.

Only got a couple of video's as the battery ran out and I forgot both the chargers and also the quality isnt that great because I had the wrong protective case on it (too much wind and not enough engine noise). Also i've discovered that mounting the camera to my fiberglass isnt a great idea as it shakes and vibrates so much you will get a headache just watching the video.

Got a small list of modifications to do before the SAU July event so bring it on!

I wondered why you were packing up early!

Again, great looking GTR. That R34 with you guys was just a perfect example of a clean, understated weapon. Love it.

What broke in the box exactly? Also what power is it making?

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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
