Just gave mine a bit of love ( oil and filter ) the good news - found split fire coilpacks and good plugs in there :P , bad news found timing belt looked like it belonged to Noah :) so had to change that aswell.

The Apexi ECU Harness arrived today, so I will have to get onto the install Sunday, I'm back at work so cbf after work.

Pics of my FMIC install as promised, did it Sat nite/Sun morning.

That FMIC looks perfect,did you have to cut the reo?or do any other "adjustment"?

Removed old coil pack wiring harness to install new one which had just arrived from JustJap... only to find the clips don't match... GREAT!

Next is to replace the xanavi and rear shocks... hopefully these go a bit smoother!

Impul ECU got installed. Im now driving a different car. This thing puts me on my arse real quick :(

wait till it finish's tuning it's self.... :)

BTW.....here's my new Nismo/greddy Combo!

Yeaah I had to cut a bit out of the reo bar. I do need to make up some custom brackets to bolt it in properly.

heatwrapped some Intercooler piping, dropped in some bcp6res11 plugs.

didnt gap them down to .8 left them at 1.1mm.

drives very well indeed. maybe even slightly better fuel economy.

also reflashed my aem fic/8 piggyback to a new updated firmware. reset the tune, altered afm voltage settings, seems to have more poke up around 6000rpm.

need to get back on a dyno to check out the tune

edit: also bought mike's momo steering wheel :thumbsup:

ordered front and rear camber arms

got a new boost gauge hooked up (apexi copy i got off my mate for free)

much easier to read without the smoked lens and its a mechanical one, not stepper motor

also took out the turbo timer cos i don't use it anymore, does weird things with the alarm - if anyone wants it send me a pm (greddy full auto turbo timer with plug and play loom)

Roof rail replacement kit finally arrived today: WUHOO!!! It's only taken 2 years to get this sorted! Also, Bilstein re-valve kit arrived a couple of days ago: Just need to collect my new daily driver (Hopefully next week), so I can get the Stag sorted...

momo wheel is on

woot

You should have opted for a R34 GTR/ GTT manual wheel though, comfy feel and also a tad smaller. No disrepsect Mike.

I know of a nice n/a grille that would look good on yer car, pm me bro.

5k service + fuel filter (which I i'm pretty sure has been there since factory :cool: )

Filter was a bitch!

CHanged oil to Nulon 10-40 fully synthetic, seems to be revving much more freely. IT's having a lot of trouble holding traction, mind you it is damp. I'll have to wait until it's dry for a proper test.

Rear upper camber arms have arrived also, will put them in 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
