What an incredible weekend. Almost felt disappointed coming back home.

Definitely keen to get my car back up and running and head back over for a track day. Eastern Creek is such an incredible looking track.

Definitely feel for Simon spinning a bearing though. Worst f**king luck.

WTAC went off!

Best weekend Ive been away and made me realize how much i regret leaving Sydney behind... good friends, good times, good memories.

Spent days glaring at cars/girls and wandering around the track/pits, spent the nights drinking up in a heated outdoor pool in the CBD and living up the Sydney night life.

Next year... Bring it on!!! Theres already talk of permit runs across border :whistling:

Well done to all involved in organizing, attending, competing and making the event possible!!!

3000km in 5 days, 3 states, and a whole heap of f**king win

Ive also gotten a stack of motivation to get my car back and going, and enter in 2 years time (as i gotta make the f**king thing quick here first :laugh:)

Bring on the 2012 event!

I spent most of the Sunday after the event with the Sierra Sierra/Cosworth team - while they were disappointed to have come second, they showed unbridled enthusiasm for the event. Seriously they love how much we loved it, they were unequivocal about the US events not being anywhere near as good as WTAC.

A number of big international teams said don't even bother with entry forms, we'll enter now, just send us the invoice. It's a real vote of confidence for Ian and the crew.

The big difference - Ian does it for the love of the sport, not for the money. The event has a hugely positive impact on the industry as a whole too, at a time when many businesses are struggling. I've already said I want to provide a 'chase car' between sessions for 2012, as well as have a trade stand. Soooo many fantastic memories from the weekend.

    • 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
