Ok so a couple of weeks ago i replaced the center tailshaft bearing on my r32 gts. Not thinking properly I forgot to mark the tailshaft so now i put it back on in the wrong position. So now it vibrates when I accelerate. I know I have to unbolt it and put it back on in the right position. Just wondering how many different ways it can go back on. it looks like just two ways (how lucky am I 50% chance of getting it right and I get it wrong lol). But the gearbox had been rotated when the drive line was removed (long story don't ask) will that make a difference on how the diff and gearbox are ballanced or can I just unbolt the tailshaft, rotate and bolt back on in the correct position?

Mate if you did the centre bearing and didn't mark it, I'm pretty sure it's about 22 splines. So there are that many different positions you can put it in. Good luck, it looks like you have a busy weekend ahead of you.

Oh and putting the uni back in the wrong position where it mates up with the diff USUALLY won't give you a vibration. The Nissan diffs are very accurate and don't have the high/low spots that old hilux and 9inch diffs had

The bit that goes into the gearbox only can go in one way. Its just where I unbolted it in the middle since it is a two piece tailshaft.

The centre bearing goes on the shaft by spline. You need to mark this before removal. I'm not talking about the spline into the back of the gearbox. If you undo the centre bearing and remove it, then put it back in a different location (on a different spline) then it will be wrong

    • 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
