That's brilliant, thanks for sharing!

Reminds me of some very basic motorkhana stuff I tried a couple of years ago. Heaps of guys in their modded big power cars, all beaten with ease by this one dude in a bog stock s___box V6 commodore - he just knew how to drive.

very very true...thats why i really enjoy reading this kind of things even though they seem logical but when you use them properly on the track, you get great results...and the best thing i liked about this is that its advice not only for tracking but also had heaps of info for normal day to day driving...and how you can just in general drive smoothly and safely...

Not bad, the one that always gets me is the change from fourth to a 3rd gear corner i always try to change as late as possible but often to late and the rear end tries to step out, can be a little scary..

I can only imagine doing the same from fifth to fourth cause i always makes sure i change early for these but i get a bit over confident for the 3rd gear corners that have nearly caught me out a few times..

Of course none of these techniques really prepare you for an unexpected dip in the road when on the street that can send your car sideways in a split second if hit at speed..

Ive travelled many a road after hearing about fatal accidents only to find there was a big dip that you know has been hit way to fast and launched the vehicle sideways into a pole or similar. Match this with rock hard lowered suspension or with crappy king springs shit shocks and low profile tyres and its a recipe for disaster..

      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

      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
