Bought and installed a new battery today (with larger terminals to suit, and a new battery clamp to hold it in). I now have 610CCA's of juice available to kick my starter motor in the guts!

what shade did you go on the window tint josh? darkest legal? just wondering how it looks against the stock rears shading.

we went with the darkest legal shade which here is 35%- I like having a car that doesn't get picked on by the cops (yet). It looks pretty good. You can tell it's lighter but there's not a huge difference. But then that could also be due to the front windscreen being so light? I'll try to get a decent pic of it.

(sorry for butting in :blush:)

I used those TRW Lucas pads in R32 GTR calipers on my R31, very nice, from stone cold to the hardest I could push 'em.

Get used to washing those wheels; they're dusty buggers...

:blush: some ppl were saying that they aren't too bad but i've noticed a fair bit of grime already

i'll probably swap them out for the qfm hpx when i've got the money or am sick of washing the wheels

Get a can of Autoglym wheel seal for your rims, then you'll basically be able to hose the dust off.

On the weekend I finally go around to fitting the carpc into the wagoon, had already fitted teh screen previously when I put the CB in but had a couple of wiring issues.. got those sorted out yesterday so now everything works mint!

Must say, I've missed having a carpc!

Oooh, post photos when you're done, please!

Last night finished fitting new tie rod ends to the Stagea. This morning had a full wheel alignment done. :P

Saturday the Stag gets a brake upgrade ... Sumitomo 4 pot calipers and 297mm rotors ... Lucas pads :)

put in my tranny cooler, hard suction line to turbo, turbosmart BOV (couldnt be bothered with having to plumb back the standard BOV) and also dropped the front drive shaft,

definatly fun times being RWD but pretty just doing it to make it easier for when i get it tuned soon,

    • 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
