This is just a quick phone video from the roof at SMSP... You can hear the car coming around the back corners before you can see it haha... It was pretty slippery so was taking it pretty slow!

That looks heaps fun Matt. Car sounds so sick on gate.

Yeah once i can get it on a dry track and turn the boost up it will be some fun ;)

You looking after the black beast? Hope its going well...

Would like to see this thing boosted up in the track. Haha.

Beast is going good. Doing some 'light' reading on the Forced Performance section :) Lets see.

:woot: haha.... Good stuff!

Plenty of options around though, if you want to keep it stealth the HG turbos are getting good numbers or you can low mount a billet 3071 etc :D

Yes indeedy! HG is what Im leaning towards. The car will be a weekender in a few weeks time, so thats when the fun starts. I will contact you and pick your brains more about this.. :)

Anytime mate :) Just shoot me a PM if you need any info and ill do what i can to help!

This is a lap in the wet, trying to take it slow and feed the power but it was just too spin happy -

Love your idea of "feeding the power on". Just Stab that f**kin Loud Pedal! :laugh:

Good to see it's all working well and you're enjoying the Fruits.

:laugh: It got like that after a while.... I tried short shifting gears and taking it easy but it was just too slippery so i just drove it Powercruise style after a few laps :P

Its a good feeling to have it running properly that is for sure.... You think a return to SAU Nats 2 years later with some success? ;)

Hahaha could gear it from the pit while you were going through 5 and 6

Lol it was only on gate pressure so not as loud as normal! :P

Car sounds awesome Matt, are you going to texi?

Thanks man! Might be coming down for the day but the car wont be... Ill be saving it for some bigger events :yes:

Hopefully I can join you for SAU Nats this year. Car is coming along strong Mat!

Hope so man! How is the new beast?

Here is some more of session 2... Also shows 5th gear is starting to suffer, i keep getting a gearbox full of neutrals when trying to shift hard :/

Nice vid. My 5th gear has been grinding in ever since I got it if I change into it at anything over 80km/h :(

Still hasn't passed compliance.

It's been at their workshop for 2 months now due to paper work delays.

Hopefully it will be ready this week.

Damn :( I want pics and stuff once its done!

I had a chat to my Diff/Gearbox guy today and he said it needs a freshen up! 4th is tricky at times too! Apparently the synchro on 5th is really small and normally doesn't have issues as its gently shifted on highway speeds, but once you start tracking and smashing it into gear i guess it will start to hurt :( Also, need to extend by diff and gearbox breathers in the near future!

Good to know haha. I never do track days that require 5th so hasn't really bothered me as yet lol. The guy that owned my car before me did a lot of highway driving from Bathurst to Sydney so I'm just guessing he didn't change back when he should have and put too much load on the gear through the moutains or something.

    • 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
