I'm sure many of you guys suffer from this too.

I mean do you ever think sometimes your car is running PISS slower?

Not regarding the weather as a factor.

You swear the temp is the same (cool night, low teens degrees),

But you swore your car ran hella faster the previous night, sometimes you think maybe your car is stuffed? blown turbo? but then you look at the boost gauge and it shows the correct boost.

Then the next night your car is fast again?

Are we going mental or may it just be the car f***ing with our mind? :D

yes every day i do it? why is the oil pressure a bit lower? how come temp is a lil high, whats that noise?

its bad!

another one is do you cringe when you see another fellow revving the date out of a stone cold engine, or when they are sitting there doing a cook at 8K for 10 minutes on an engine that should only be revved to maybe 6K at the most?? not to mention the axle and hub got so hot it melted the nuts and stubs. you get that shudder through your spine when you witness this kinda stuff

It's normal.

To me, my car is always slow and it lacks the response I'm used to.

You GROW INTO the speed of the car.

Trust me... drive a shitbox for a week, come back to the Skyline and see how it's like.

Everyone else who's been in my car usually needs to change their underwear and wipe the sweat off their brow once I'm done with them :D

"It's normal" - thank god i am not mental :D

Yeah, ive been running around the past few months on 10psi of boost since my engine rebuild, and it feels slow to me now (it doesnt feel like i get that shove back in the seat anymore). However passangers claim its one of the fastest cars they have been in. You just get used to the speed of the car and adjust to suit it.

And as for the noises im paranoid about that :Oops: whenever something makes a tiny rattle im like "oh my god whered that come from" or if a passanger says they hear something i start hounding them with questions as to when/where/what

haha Tony, the worst possible feeling in the world is after you have been driving something with power (R33 etc) then go and jump into a POS datsun bluebird that is on its last legs (has next to no compression), when you put your foot down and go nowhere its a worry, come to think of it i jumped into my mums v6 camry after driving my mates R33 and even that felt like something was wrong with it.

hahaha

best post evar

i so go through this;

plus im the master at hearing rattles and groans that arent really there

some days u swear your machine is chugging, but other days its flying;

hehe outta sight outta mind

I like to keep my car clean too, feel like if i look after her she'l look after me ;)

lol

I think anyone with a car they love and spend time on will be the same, maybe not the V8s cos they make so much noise without going anywhere (oops did i say that!) so they cant hear any noises anyway

In a way being so observative is good, we will be able to pick something bad before it happens :)

    • 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.
