Hey guys, i am in the process of reco-ing the rack out of my 33 gtr, just wondering if there was any difference between the GTR models in the racks or are they the same? i.e internal parts etc.

also coz of the hicas on the R32's being hydraulic does it it make the steering rack up front different?

and can any body tell me whether you can buy outer rack ends in oz and if there is any models that are oz delivered that will fit R33 Racks?

Cheers

Darren.

Well apparently after going to the local spare parts shop, they said the R32,R33 are the same outer tie rod ends, which i assume would mean the same rack.

Approx price was like $28ea

Im probably just going to order some and then compare them with the old ones before fitting them, but im sure they will fit.

fingers crossed now that the rack itself gets reco'd ok.

ok well when the parts arrived they were not long enough compared to my standard ones up the threaded part and the tapered part was also not long enough, i tried a number of parts stores who each said they had the parts and when i went to check, they were all wrong. even tried pedders who have a listing on there website for them but when i went in same deal they were not correct parts when compared to OEM ones.

It is looking more and more likely that il have to buy genuine for R33 GTR Outer tie rod ends.

so if anybody has any more info or part numbers for these models and parts, let me know, id still like to find an alternative to genunie if possible.

You still after some outer tie rod ends? I've found a source for some R33 GTS-T ones. But I don't know if they are the same as the GTR ones.

The GTR and GTS-4 tie rod ends are different to all the other rear wheel drive Skylines.

The front wheel drive wheel hub carriers are totally different, and the much fatter ball joint taper means the tie rod ends are not interchangeable.

Many of the aftermarket tie rod ends listed for R32, R33, R34 fit normal Skylines o/k, but not the GTR or GTS-4.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
