well mine are a lot worse than Jacks, I'm a little disapointed, I couldn't see the damage that was being done until I stood up and the light hit it, looks like a retard has assaulted it with a bb gun -__- oh well, they're only guards on a drift car :P

you can't tell in the pics though! hehe. Pulled the fronts out about 20mm. I might have to spend the next 3 hours reapiring each of them and shape them pissing around with my slapper hammer and various dolley's and contour guages, and then almost a full respray

looking at that lip though...they still dont fit? :blink:

i mean, youve fuarked the guards already, so might as well make them so they definitely wont shred your valuable slicks?

It's just the angle of the photo, it should be OK. Going to nubco now to get a bigger pole to pull it a little more just to be super sure. Looking at some old gopro footage, looks like the front wheels travel about 70mm so I'm trying to accommodate for that.

I'm going to raise the nose up another 10mm too, looking at the car side on, looks like it's under brakes already :P

Interesting tid bit.

I had my car on the turnplates and beaurepairs the other day and it got 41 degrees of steering angle (not sure what stock is, quick google suggests it's 36 degrees). Only mod is these http://www.gktech.co...uctID=NISS-TROD

They're good gear, I'd reccomend them to anyone with a skyline even if you're not drifting, just makes moving around so much easier, I can do u turns in the street and drive straight into my garage because of them :)

    • 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
