Was given a genuine blank Nissan GTR key as given to all Aus. delivered 32GTR owners on purchase :-)

Not sure if I want to run it or not.

I don't think they're all that rare, Chris, so if you need/want another they're pretty easy to get. Not cheap, though, unfortunately. :)

Cost me $54 for the blank from Nissan, but that was a while ago: I also got 5 more spare keys cut for free, since the locksmith I used wanted a few practice runs before cutting the good key :banana:

Did you get done tangles? You pop the bonnet mate????

No, copper said nice car, I said yeah had her for 5yrs now

asked me for license and what I was up to, I gave said license and pointed across the street and said I live there, heading home after doing shopping (pointed to bags on seat)

cop laughed so we got you out front hey? I smiled, said thats fine, asked me to blow in the bag, I replied sure, i dont drink no worries.

copper cheerfully said looks like you dont have a nice day.

too easy

would have given her one too :P hot-as

Finally fitted my plenum spacer today, jeebus! What a difference! Thanks Andy & Craig for the comprehensive kit, went together like a dream (and Cam for the original legwork).

And in keeping with my "If you're gonna do something stupid; you might as well tell everone" policy; I cleverly dropped one of the replacement studs down No.1 intake port :blush: ! Minor heart attack, grabbed the torch, it's sitting about an inch out of reach. "The Claw"to the rescue :( , what a dope... :whistling: lol

I really need to get off my arse and install mine too :whistling: soon, I promise :(

Lucky, you had the claw... That would be scary...

A tense moment while I was getting the torch, let me tell you... Could NOT believe I'd done it.

"The Claw" FTW! :whistling:

Enjoy that new turbo!

@ Daleo....I've had the nightmare of doing that about 5 times now.......lucky the Valve wasn't open!....not that it would fit down there.

@Ian.....soft mate....soft.

@Andy.....do I really still owe your favours......there's gotta be another way to work it off! :whistling:...lol!

Yeah , once I had the torch I wasn't worried, but when it happened... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Must be a visit to the drags on the cards pretty soon.

Edited by Daleo

Give me a week or 2 and then I will be ready.

The aim is to do the turbo on a hoist as it will be much easier than at Craigs place. And he has all the car stands on his hover car... lol

    • 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
