Hello everyone... I'm new to the skyline forums I'm 18 and I'm from qld. I don't drive a skyline :thumbsup: I drive a 2000 AU falcon and an EA falcon with a 2003 XR6 engine, GT body kit and 17's with 115,000 km. Always LOVED skylines, just don't have the $$ for one.

I enjoy motocross and anything to do with cars. I'm sure I'll enjoy my stay here, I've been a long time reader!

Hopefully one day I'll have a car of my own to contribute, although it won't be for a LONG time, unless someone wants to swap an N/A skyline for 2 falcons and maybe a dirtbike lol.

Anyway, that's all I have to say really!

Cheers

Welcome to SAU :)

Interesting conversion for the Falcon, that EA of yours must go pretty fast for a NA :D I would wait till you can drive a turbo I can pretty much guarantee your EA would destroy an N/A Skyline :)

Thanks mate, I haven't had much time behind the wheel of the EA since the engine conversion, but it did have a fair bit more poke than stock :miner: N/A skylines aren't that quick, I know. But atleast with a skyline I could have something that doesn't handle like a canoe in the perfect storm haha.

My heart is kind of set on waiting the extra year and a half and getting a manual 34 GT-T, they seem like a great car.

Terry, thanks mate. Yeah, I don't like FWD's lol, not heaps keen on an AWD car either, so the GT-T seems like a good match for me when I can drive a turbo.

      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

      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
