Hi Guys,

My r33 is gonna be autosalon and Ive got the friday off to make sure the car is nice and clean and ready to go. its a stock series II with tv / dvd / stereo. ive got some sticker goo stuck on the window where previous rego stickers and shit have been and also a soft mark / scrape on the left hand side of the front bar

do you guys have any ideas / tricks to get off sticker goo from the window and maybe touch up the front bar?

also i wanna clean up the rims, they have marks from shit like brake dust and stuff, no cracks or dints, just dirt marks on them which dont come off from normal clean

like metho or something to clean them?

For the sticker goo try and get this stuff called De-Solvit, little plastic bottle with and orange on the front. For the wheels try using maybe brasso?

Yeah, use De-Solvit, works like a charm.. you can get it in your local supermarket. As for your rims, use Autosol to give it a nice shiny look. And for the scratch.. try rubbing it with mineral turbintine, but not sure if it will work completely...

For your wheels take them off and use regular car cleaner if they are Silver coated (unsure from the pics) if they have a machined lip then use a metal polish liek Brasso or Autosol, I have also found that the Amway metal cleaner works wonders as well.

Also when you initially clean them, as I have done for many cars incl winner best paint for Jambo is take them off and wash them with HOT water and Morning fresh!!!

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
