Finally cashed in my Xmas present today at Calder. I had a drive in a V8 Supercar. Wow! First we had a couple of sighting laps in some piece of shit Ford then I had two 10 min. sessions followed by a driver showing me how fast he actually does it. Those drivers are unbeleivable. Down the back straight I started braking at about the 70-80 metre mark but when an actual driver did it he started to brake well after the 50 metre mark. I just dont know how they can stop a car in that distance. Finished off the day with a barbie. Sensational.

To answer both your questions I'll try to download a couple of pics.If it doesn't work send me instructions on how to do it James. (refer back to the "which school did you attend" thread and me being the dumbest prick on here)

Alan

PS I reckon I worked out how to do it but the picture is too f***in big.

The picture is 492 kb but I can only download 109 kb (or something like that) and I'm f***ed if I can workout how to resize the c*** of a thing :)

I've done this too!

Isn't it a buzz!

The car is a VX SS Commdore with all things racing, apart from the dash and the off tap engine. Big arse brakes, Big arse suspension and all the fruit.

I've also driven the Formula Ford cars with "UdriveVic" and that's even better!!

Glad you had a ball.

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

      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:

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
