remember those cars games at bowling places and what not, where the steering felt loose and then you would feel it kick back in and out ( dont know if your getting me here)

basically doing say over 70-80km going over any bumps the car feels like it steers from the back tonight it was terrible it felt like i was going to loose control of the car i was doing 100km i did have a semi flat front tyre which helped a bit but the other tyres are fine and its still there

is this just noraml or what as it was nice for a while going hill driving but stright line stuff it feels loose

any help would be good

Im guessing its your hicas engine ore busches thats the problem... sometimes the engines get worn and gets wobbly..getting ride of mine and going hicas removal bar. =)

Does this lock out bar make you more drift prone. I like the idea that the car steers through the hills and what not

In the R32 GTST i had = Yep. Seemed to step out alot easier.

Gtr - nope (4 wheel drive obviously) I noticed the steering was a lot lighter, and it did steer obviously a lot different around corners and at speeds with lockbar - i prefer it with the lockbar but i guess everyone has their own opinion!

The back end of the GTR was floating on certain corners, speeds and just felt sh*t, lockbar in fixed it and feels nice and solid and predictable.

You loose about 20kg of crap as well when u do it, well worth it in my opinion!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
