Cut out the front bumper and made a stainless steel bracket for the number plate that bolts in the factory position. Also rested on the eylids to see how they look before i get them painted pearl white.

Noticed a knock in the front end since i installed the superpro 33mm solid front sway bar. Inspected it today and noticed a gap of 6mm (3mm each side) between the fixed rib and the support bush. So i made up 2 dense rubber spacers to fill the gap and stop the knocking. While i was at it i regreased the rear whiteline sway bar bushes as there was excessive creaking from the rear end. Another day another thing fixed. Next will be the passenger side inner driveshaft boot.

This weekend efforts on the wagon

1. Fitted the front half of my Alcon brake upgrade.

2. Drove it to WSID and ran a 12.2 (a PB).

3. Split the heater core on the way home and turned my girlfriends shoes a lovely shade of glycol green.

Whilst vaccuming out the rear seat of the Stag over the weekend I was shocked to discover that under all the wrappers, leaves, stones, nuts, random bits of plastic, crayons and multitude of other crap that had built up over the past couple of years of being the famliy hauler...there is actually carpet back there. Who woulda thunk it. Somehow, it's still beige, and it's remarkably clean.

After waiting for a VSS from Nissan for 3 weeks this beast is back on the road. And it was nice to see the previous owner change all the fluids except the transfer case in 18 years. It was very brown to say the least. Felt good to drive it again.

1. Paddle shifter from V35 GT-8. Took of the leather wrap underneath is aluminium, I sanded it and polished. I can post a wiring diagram for anyone wants to do it.

2. Strutbar from Aliexpress.

3. Clock from a G35 through Ebay.

That looks way better then the after market setup. And price looks possibly better. How is the feel?

And yes show us your wiring diagram :)

No. That one on Ebay is for a later model V36-37, and its hard work to modify. V35 GT-8 look like this and its a direct fit. Just remove the steering wheel and line up the holes. You will also need the top and bottom steering shroud if you want to return your car back to way it was.

Any noticeable improvement over stock for the brace? Also price on the g35 strut brace?

Have a look at the front suspension, notice the strut isn't actually a part of the front end geometry or hub like the 33/34 skyline, it just provides downforce through the lower bush. Hence why the strutbrace makes no difference.

If you want to tighten the front end you need to brace the compression arm as Nissan did with the series 2 V35's (Dale's brace or OX motorsport), and use the Superpro poly compression bush.

    • 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.
