Sorry mate, I didn't include Falken Azenis that we use at track days! On standard rubber in its previous form, we have managed a 1.06.03 from this car, so we are hoping that sub 60 is within reach. If everything falls into place, it will be ready for the next track day to find out!

I have to agree with the others, sub 60 sec is a big commitment in a road reg car even with the best conditions. Good luck with the project. I will be watching with interest.

After a shakedown at QR, we found that the factory inlet to the turbo was heating up and constricting, limiting air flow. So Ivan and the guys at Hi Power Racing manufactured a new inlet pipe and here are the results.

To say that we are pleased would be a massive understatement!

377.8HP @1.5 bar. :P

We have also started on the suspension, replacing the links & bushes with Nismo items.

The red front bar is just to keep it all legal until the new one arrives!

Snozzle, we pinched that cluster out of our red R34 and it came like that from Japan, so sorry mate - no extra details on that one unfortunately!

The boost is all over the place yet such a good figure of power :)

Ivan has explained to me that the boost drop is due to us retaining the standard manifold - that keeps things interesting!

That was also just a run in Shootout mode to see what we could get out of it, here are the tuning runs.

As in standard exhaust manifold? I'm running the standard exhaust manifold on my GTRS and it holds boost fine with a slight drop towards redline of a couple of psi. With your HKS EVC I would have thought you could get it to hold perfectly.

Is there any adjustability in the Nismo arms?

It doesnt look like there is any at all.

No adjustment in the Nismo arms, the geometry of the setup is designed for performance driving. Trying to get a balance between performance and comfort, while keeping the car road legal.

have you got any runs with the AFR's on it?

No runs with the AFR's that I have seen, but the guys at HPR should have them somewhere. I'll try to track them down.

Got the car back and just went for the first run with the extra neddies and new suspension components... is good.

It felt quick before, but you get a really good shove from it now. Even more importantly, you are coming on boost at 2800rpm and it winds straight out to 1.6bar and the engine just spins out to the redline.

The whole car feels very solid mid corner and it particularly impressive coming out the other side, really getting the power through to the ground.

Will be getting on to the bodywork next...

      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.

      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
