Was not a good sight to see your car modified by the armco rail but at least you and your brother are o.k.Thought you might have kept the car and transplanted the good bits into something else hope to see you at another SAU event in something else as long as its a nissan ...

Mick,

Thanks and thought about transfering bits from the GTR into 32 sedan I've got sitting outside but decided to sell it.

At the moment, looking to obtain 33 GTST for second time (had one before the GTR).

Cheers

Grant

Best of luck for a speedy recovery Grant; it's never a good thing to have a car accident but gladly it happened in a controlled environment with help at arm's reach.

Thanks Jim.

Sorry to hear the news mate :)

Went through something similar myself at Phillip Island a couple of years back, and really good to hear that both of you got out of the car relatively unscathed. Sounds like everyone there did a stellar and professional job to look after yourself and your passenger.

At least you and your brother are ok Grant, thats the main thing.

Its always sad to see a GTR as nice as yours get banged up.

The good thing is is that theres always something bigger and better to look forward to in the future.

Hope to see you again at Decas with whatever it is that you decide to buy! Although I was thinking 26 into 4 door....would be fun!

Thanks, yes I'm gutted about the R considering I've wasted so much money and have some parts to go into it, will have to sell them...

Yes the organiser did a stellar job in looking after me and my brother.

Thanks, yep it does seem like I'm not aloud to own a GTR... I know what you're on about with looking for the replacment (love it too but lately, carsales haven't co-operated with me).

Shit so sorry to hear this... I remember just meeting you last deca and was admiring ur car... U even took my friend for a ride.... Well glad you and your brother are fine... Get Well Soon!! :D

Yes I remember you and your friend were admiring it and I took your friend for a ride last DECA.

Mat, thanks for the kind words, won't be doing 26 in 32 sedan cos I've already sold the wreck this morning and is trying to get a friend to buy the sedan.

And I'm kinda 'banned' from DECA by my parents... And is talking to them now.

Hamish, I'm unsure about these pics being posted on this thread but won't ask you to remove it.

Niroj, yes that's decent stack.

Glad to hear your okay, and sorry to hear about the GTR. In the end though a car is replaceable, life and quality of life isn't; however I'm sure that doesn't make you feel any better.

Hope things pick up soon.

Chantalle,

Thanks and I'm feeling lot better since I've sold the wreck and it's somewhere out of my sight. So I don't have to walk past it everyday.

And am sourcing a replacment but won't rush into it now, got other things to worry about.

Cheers

Grant

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
