Fk these thefts get closer to home

Well if you have an appropriate alarm and insurance you shouldnt be worried.

It hasnt been reported as stolen so it may not be (as yet).

And a potential stolen car in a major metropolitan city.... Really not suprising when you look at the big picture.

Blown tyre was on the front too. It wasn't just flat, it looked like it had disintegrated. It's just sitting on the rim.

Could just be a female driver.

Bashes into things, every panel damaged, gets a flat and just keeps driving.

Must keep driving, don't know how to change tyre, can't be late for work.

true. the one I have now HAS an alarm on it (or whats LEFT of it) but no insurance.

I get the fact it is 'cool' to have a fast car but FFS insure the thing.

Before i bought mine i checked on insurance to make sure i could afford it. Im sorry but if your not insured and you drive an import and it gets stolen i have no sympathy. It is shite that they get stolen but EVERYONE knows they are easy to steal so there is no excuse NOT to insure it.

Alarm and insurance yes, these don't stop the car from being stolen. I'd rather the car be there at the end of the day than insurance paying out for it. Thus I worry.

Agreed. Got both, but doesn't stop me worrying when parking at the coast or in the slightly more 'roughed' up areas.

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

      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:

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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
