From putting my car on the trailer to the wheel aligners the alloy piece of the castor arm had started to bend, basically to dangerous to risk driving the car on. we put this in the vice to check strength and literaly pushed on it by hand and "snap"

dont get me wrong im not bagging GKtech. im a big fan of there stuff, i shouldnt have modified there gear and played around w alloy suspension pieces to start with. just a little upsetting.

i was soo lucky that juzzo had a old set off s14 castor arms (metal) and Gav from garage 48 was nice enough to work his magic into the early morning along w brae, coming up w these lenghtnd and much stronger version of castor arms, did a rough allignment, got 3 hours sleep and went drifting ... once again massive thanks to these dudes, without them i would have been nowhere

also got these, the other spacers where amazing but i got allot of bind and wheel shake, so hopefully these sort it out for now, if they work i will be moving rack forward and using the garage 7 spacers again.

drifting tomorrow hopefully all goes well

massive drift hangover,

clutch is starting to slip in 4th, limo needs to be re- done, and rack has popped its seals..

cars being parked for awhile. along while ...

    • 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.
