Looks good, that colour goes well with the burgundy/red body!

What kind of spray do you use? I'd imagine general enamel sprays would just scratch off too easily

burgundy, the body looks red for some reason

just acrylic and plastic primer, with a nice wet clear coat

Would have to use vinyl/plastic spray for it to last at all.

Does look the goods man, I've always liked how the R33 dash facia is one piece, even if it makes it harder to remove. I sprayed my R34 facia, doesn't look as good as that because it isn't all one piece, I couldn't spray all of it so it sort of looks a bit patchy.

yea they are designed well, they are easy enough to get off if you know what to do :)

once you have plastic primer down you can use whatever paint you want...

Looks good, IMO the 33's need a bit of paint on the dash, its all to black otherwise

I did mine about a year and a half ago in Frost silver. Dont remember the brand of paint but it was just from supercheap in a little can, its touch up spray paint im pretty sure

has held up alright, nearly time for a respray because some spots have got some scratches. I couldnt use a clear coat or it would have been a bit to glary under direct sunlight lol.

came in here all ready to flame.... but it looks aight! :D

bwahaha

clutch 1, joey ........................9

ive decided im gonna try find some high temp stuff for my valley covers! same color would look secks

+1

hate it when people spray their dashes but actually looks good Clutch

:D

the trick is, keep it subtle, subtle enough to look factory.

ill get some sexy DSLR pics tonight maybe, looks way better in person, it was taken on my iphone, god knows iphone cameras suck d**k

came in here all ready to flame.... but it looks aight! :D

hahaha +2 I was totally expecting some bright blue or red colour.

now if you only stop midgets from jumping around your front seats in their dirty little working boots it might actually improve overall.. nah but seriously wash that front seat and the mats, looks like you work in the mines or something

I used the exact paint as the OP on my R34 a few weeks ago - plenty of prep with sandpaper, primer, etc - but I tend to think you need to put in a good effort to get the right finish. Anyway, I think it came up fine (trial fitting before putting the stereo back in):

    • 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
