Did the 350z have the TCU inside or outside the gearbox?

I have a feeling mine shifts faster than you guys. I have even chirped 2nd.... don't know how.

One thing I have noticed is that if you slow the car down going down the gears but don't come to a stop, and floor it back in 1st, it will shift harder, more pressure I guess. Anyone else noticed?

:thumbsup: on the chirps

Pics OR Vid of skids from Texi - or it didn't happen.tongue.gif

Speaking of Texi, who else has entered? Bodella has stumped up the entry fee, and if no-one else brings their LOLvo along, then I am disappoint!

I want to get into Texi, but hopefully my car will be in pieces by then. So I'll have to miss out on this one.

Desperately in need of someone with skill to show me how to drive trackdays/texi. Hopefully someone will oblige when the time is right tongue.gif

Once Ive completed the run-in of the forged bottom end & had the final tune performed I might consider selling the stagea.

Im a bit over it now, cant afford for anything to go wrong while I put myself through University over the next 4-5yrs.

Car cost me 18k 6yrs ago and sunk in excess of 32k into it with all the bolt-ons, tunes over the years, etc etc.

What would it be worth on the market do you think?

Mirror rust hasnt been attended to, and bodywork has scratches etc, but mechanically its fresh and good for 300rwkw if pushed.

Dont think its worth selling, but Id be screwed IF I got defected by the over-zealous officer Neil we have here in adelaide.

Not enough! Real shame!

Not enough! Real shame!

yeah I know :(

Its advertised here on SAU, only. Genuine reason for sale - House still hasnt sold yet after half a year under contract, I cant afford morgage repayments & am on the absolute bones of my arse. Pretty much hit rock bottom 2 months ago, which is a good thing in all honesty as I made myself get off the medication that sent me crazy. 40days drug free and in a great place mentally now.

Heart says Im silly to "give it away", head says to be smart about it. University is my #1 priority for the next 4 or 5 years.

I'll get stuff all back from the house sale, when it eventually sells (been screwed over by the agent),and will need it all to cover living costs.

Funds will be too scarce while at Uni to run the risk of anything going wrong, even general maintenance, on the Stagea.

I really dont want to see it gone, but all my time will be focused on succeeding with the Medical Radiation Science course. For the first time I just dont see my pride & joy being in my future - however I now see a future for myself. Just need a little run around car to run errands as I'll be using public transport during the weekdays to/from Uni in the city.

Considering Ive spent well over 50k all up, including car purchase, 15k is probably letting it go too easily, but perhaps its the right option in my current circumstances. Whom ever buys it, whenever that happens, will be getting something pretty special.

Sad about it, nonetheless.

    • 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.
