Hi guys and girls,

Just wanted to let everyone know how difficult it is to source a new front windscreen for a R32 Sedan. The GTR and GTS-T Coupe's windscreens are apparently 50mm or so to short according to O'Brians Glass.

On 1 March I was driving up Nicolson Road in Harrisdale doing the speed limit of 80km/h with a SS VT Commodore supporting a yellow sticker and no number plates tailgating me. He was pushing me to go faster in a hope he could get a race or some reaction. Anyway, i took no notice of him, he overtook in anger and as he swerved to get back into the lane just before a truck with two trailers came barreling past he flicked a stone up at my windscreen. I could not report this as I have no details on the car and couldn't see the driver cause it have 5% Tint on all windows plus the cops wouldn't care anyway.

Now they have apparnetly sourced a new windscreen from sydney, but it is not fitted with the radio aerial in it. Not terrably happy with this, but i dont have alot of choices. Will sort the aerial problem out another time. Lucky my insurer Shannons has free windscreen replacement cover.

Was everyone aware that the radios aerial is run in the windscreen glass??

Hope everyone else doesn't need a new windscreen anytime soon whether it be a sedan or coupe, im sure there won't be many around in Japan anymore after the devastating earthquakes they have had.

all r32 run the antenna (FM) in the front window. what you have is a non-gen one.

If it was me i would be ringing obrian (if not istalled yet) and telling them to get a gen one or shannons (if installed) and telling them that they installed the wrong one as it has no atenna and to get them install a correct one.

As far as i am aware they are all the same size window (haapy to be proven wrong) but it sounds as if they just went the non-gen option.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
