What an arvo! Thought I'd go get the tyres flipped due to severe inner wear due to the last Clayton place setting the wheel alignment to 8deg toe ? so I went back to the usual tyre shop and they put 2 big splits in the side wall of the tyre while doing it and then tried to say it wasn't them even though they just said it's that bad you can't drive on it as the sidewall was balloning out, then how the hell did I get there on them, then they said they looked fine when they first pulled the wheel from the car, go figure. So after some talks they said they will pay for the new replacement.

Then I get home and check the rims and they have put small scratches and a gouge in all rims ?

For such a simple job I've yet to come across a tyre shop that can do anything without f#cking it up.

The machine clamps on the inside of the rim to get the tyre on or off. Guess they weren't careful.

Sorry to hear, a least you have come to some sort of arrangement.

Yeah just lack of attention and care. Gonna have a go at them tomorrow about damaging the rim lips, can't see anything happening about it though.

*sniff, sniff*

Is that jealousy I smell in your post Alex? I think so. Mmmmm red V35 fronted Stagea...

The black Stagea is full Dolphin PM35 body parts (grill, eye lids, front lip, skirts, rear bar and spoiler). Looks surprisingly good (???!!)

Have started wondering what a Y50 Fuga front end on a Stagea would look like....

That wing is ridiculous though. Not sure if it's the adjustable version, but epically OTT.

Y50 Fuga front end might be ok, if it'll fit. But no one around here would put a different face on their M35, would they? :whistling:

Jealousy of what...?

You like it do you? Its all yours!

I like the black one. Needs a good clean but.

No thanks, that red one burns the back of my eye balls and sears the darkest recesses of my brain

Only those with an NM35 need consider a facelift.

Oh, and it is highly recommended :)

Why? They're 2 very different cars. Ask your mate how quickly & comfortably he can cart a family away camping for a weekend. He'd be embarrassed 'cause he'd have to drive his mums' camry wagon, lol.

Still, I bet it was a nice experience riding in (driving?) a 10 sec GTR. I admit I've never been in a car that quick.

Why embarrassed?

I stopped comparing my car to gtrs or s15s. There is no point. You have to start of thinking you have a wagon!

I can do say, 80% of what a gtr can do. But I can still carry a couch in the back when I want to, and I don't get stalked by cops everyday. That's a win, to me.

yeah yeah I know I know its a different car...

I guess embarresed might be the wrong term. More "disappointed when I stomp on the accelerator and I don't get pinned to me seat"....LOL

I can help with your addiction... :)

I would prescribe another 100kw to put that smile back on your face, but power costs money and lots of it. (as i'm sure your gtr mate has found out.) And you cant control what you have now... Back driving yet? :P

So Scotty, when are you joining the 400kW club?

    • 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.
