yeh, parhaps i should explain myself.... tried to adjust the attitude of car mid corner and touched brakes a little too hard.....therefore went into a spin.... ask Neil for more info... he had front row seats to the whole shebang

Nick, book yourself in for the 17th of July, we are going to hit Q.R. A great place to learn about car control at high speed with little fear of hitting anything. Plenty of notice. Save those $$$ and get some new tyres! Skidpan day should be in August, don't miss that either. Tip of the day: Never hit the brakes hard mid corner unless you have already passed the point of no return and are just trying to minimise the damage by trying to slow up a bit.

Yes Grasshopper.

I am going to put up a proper post for it in the events section in the next few days try build a little interest. It will have all the necessary info, links and stuff.

hmmm pan sounds fun.... what happens at a pan anyway?? all i know is people go nuts and drive over water+diesel.... :confused:

Yeah, you go nuts but with water and diesel it means everything happens in slow motion so you should learn better steering control/throttle control. It hasn't helped me yet, I spend too much time last time facing the wrong way!

worse was i actually was sitting there watching

had to leave after half a day, couldnt take it anymore :)

Yeah John sent me a PM offering me a lift, but I had to decline as I new watching would make me a little agro. Especially with no way home, stuck there forced to watch.

    • 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.
