rTook my car to hidden vally drag strip on friday night.

Did a best of 15.343 @ 90mph/ weather was 32dec and 98% humidity/

car is running a catback exhaust and pod and is auto.

how are your launching the auto? i wont recommending doing it too often as it will causing premature failure of the gearbox if done too much, but u should try stalling it up (hold the brakes and hit the rpm up to about 3000) just b4 take off.

First run was just stomp on the gas did a 16.1 for that

2nd got it up to 5000rpm in 'n' and droped it (Still had tyer pressure at 36 psi= wheel spin 1st 1/2 way in 2nd)

3rd was at 4000rpm tyers at 30psi and she did a 15.3

from there on i just played with the revs.

I would rather not do the way mentiond as i managed to blow my r31 auto box like that after 15 runs.

yeah that is probably worse then i mentioned. next time as the lights start from the top of the tree, have it in D, hold the brake and hit the gas to bring it to say 4000rpm (play with it to get good launches) then release the brake and hit full throttle.

    • 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:
    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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
