That dash wouldn't be hard to replicate poit. I personally wouldn't give up my factory dash for that, but that's me. To make that in 1-1.6 mm ally sheet would be fairly easy, weekend job tops. Looks to be just satin black, few hole saw bits to match ur gauge sizes etc. looks NASCAR spec

yeah I think I should just tidy up my stock dash and leave it, take the heater core and AC out too, seeing as they're not hooked up...

I need to make some door cards more than anything!

I've been fooling around with the 33 and took some pics to share.

So I thought I had a pretty major problem when at symmons plains I was getting some SERIOUSLY bad vibe through the wheel\car when going faster than 90kph. I was like the f**k my car is going to fall apart.

I was pretty convinced that something was seriously a miss with the passenger side front suspension\bearings, something was not right. I pulled it all down and low to behold, it was all brand new, it wasn't till I was putting the wheel back on that I discovered the massive flat spot on the tyre -_- FAIL

Then I painted and fitted my new wheels, they're Rays SS7 18x9.5 +38 but to get them to fit I had to install a 15mm bolt on spacer as they fouled on the upper wishbone(?) when on full lock now it clears by about 1mm. They were gold but now they're Matte black, and I'm thinking of painting the lip red to match my lensos and break it up a little. The tyres are Dunlop D03Gs in a medium Compound, 245\40\18 for the front and 265\35\18 on the back.

I'm pretty sad about my Drift Teks getting so f**ked up after my little spill at Symmons :( Those rocks hurt!!

I also put in a passenger seat for the Charity Rides day in a few weeks :)

I also fitted some new brake pads, Hawk DTC-60 should pull the while whale up nicely :)

Hey Pete if you didn't already know its really easy to add a stripe to the wheels. You can either buy some red pin stripe or cut a pice out of vynal. It can just be a strait pice. As you put it on the wheel it will flex as such and turn a strait line into a curved line. So no need to paint it or cut out round stripes. I have done this neumerous times to wheels on a race car I used to look after.

    • 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.
