Ok i have used fishing wire to debadge the stagea. I has tried to use grease and wax remover to get rid of the glue but still leaves the outline of the wording. What have you used in the past thatwill get rid of the glue and any marking from the lettering.

You could also try Mineral Turpentine on a rag and/or a very light polish as there will be a difference in the paintwork finish now where the badges have been...

+1 thats what i did.. just polished it up and it came up perfecto

It should be fine, although it will most likely strip the polish from the surface leaving you with a dull patch that you'll need to repolish.

It's not different from a bit of petrol running down the side of the car when you're filling the tank - I hate it when it does that!

Ok got all the glue off. Not I just have like a dirty outline of what used to be there. What would be the best grit sandpaper to remove this before I cut and polish. Would wet sanding be best

Just use a cutting compound, and keep going until you get the finish you're after. The clear coat on these is far too thin for wet sanding IMO.

+1 on the cutting compound and i wouldn't go near it with wet & dry either.

I'd also use a light hand when using the cutting compound and just take your time.

unfortunately the badge the car in the factory when the paint hasnt quite cured so leaves marks. plus the weather etc doesnt help.

mine and craigs are the same. no amount of cutting and polishing etc got the marks out of mine

    • 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
