Hi All,

On a recent trip to Queensland I met up with the guy that owns the only Paul Newman sedan in Australia and over a beer or 2 we chatted nothing but Nissan for hours on end. I can now add all it's details into my register, so it's complete with all 4 confirmed in Australia.

He took me out to see his "secret stash" and it certainly is a stash. About 30 plus cars, mostly Skylines & 240K's.

Included in this stash lies a genuine S54 Prince Skyline GTB complete with G7 engine and triple carbs, an JDM C210/211 2000 GTEX and of course the HR30 Paul Newman sedan.

This guy is sitting on quite a collection and on his request, it's location will stay a secret and any pics I have will stay unpublished.

It was quite an eye opener.

Cheers, D

TEASER

Not really!

Was nothing much to see, but a lot of cars under car covers in an open paddock with grass up over the door sills.

I only took pics of the Paul Newman sedan, as he wouldn't let me take them of the S54 & GTEX.

    • 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.
    • 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
