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.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
