Lest We Forget.

After seeing how many people I know made it to dawn services today; I feel a bit hopeless.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning; we will remember them.

So after ordering a white Aero bar with foggies back in July 2011, and paid for it...I get an email from Streeter who said its now ready for pickup...

Not his fault though...apparently it was sitting around in Melbourne for months...

hmmm time to have a M35 bits sale...

All the subie owners are jelly of M35's. Every time a Forrester, or a liberty wagon gets behind me, I see them lean over the wheel and squint to see whats written on the back of the car.

yeh lol you shoudlve seen them when scott put his car on the dyno.

funny thing is, they were all pulling themselves when they saw their cars hitting 170kw at all four.

then scott put his car on i think they all had wet spots in their pants or minor heart attacks.

the libertys are a nice car - but the amount of money that has to be thrown at it for minor power is f**king stupid

LOL @ the Subie owners...but you can't compare stock cars vs Scott's monster...

I was thinking of a Rex, not a Liberty or forester. If I needed a wagon I'd stick with the Stagea for sure.

I think maybe I'm just pining for something thats fast(er) off the line. Im sure the Stags will rape the WRX at the top end and all...and it is more practical...

I dunno, I spent the weekend in a mate's WRX...with only 200 awkw that thing felt alot faster then my 270awkw+ Stag...plus I like the go kart feel...hmm and the manual (albeit weak GB) thing...

Edited by ironpaw

If anything mine is the stock car Jethro, some of them had put a fair bit of coin in for those figures (30k+ with Cosworth engines) but you're right, they are lighter and have a manual option.

Just because a car feels faster doesn't mean it is though, my mates old WRX only has 130kw and feels ballistic, even with a slipping clutch. No way its actually faster though.

lol im pretty sure the genuine bugeye STI WRX that did a run has a semi forged bottom end and all this extra crap and still only pulled 130 at the wheels.

hands down out of a WRC class I would be going an evo.

bang for buck! if you like the go kart feel.

lol mine feels like a trolley than a go kart. Scott knows what I mean :P

I'm pretty sure if they spent 30k+ on their car it'd be a "10 second car"? I mean, there are cars on Rexnet who doing 280-300awkw on 98/street trim and are getting 10/11 sec qtr mile...

Anyway this is not to say they're "better" or "worse"...every car has different characteristics and pro's/con's...

    • 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.
