Just bought a NA auto 33 , it needs an airbox snorkel and is yet to be serviced , I've noticed when I put my foot down a lot of thr travel of the accelerator does nothing...not until my foot is almost flat the car picks up....still yet to put the air box snorkel on and do the engine oil and filter which might make the car go a little smoother , the throttle cable doesn't seem slack...The pick up is fine until past 1/4 throttle it's after that there's a big blank spot in accelerationAny ideas? Cheers

Welcome to the nugget that is the NA skyline my friend.

as above, the NA skylines are a bit of a slug, especially the autos. what you are describing sounds like there is something else going on though (without knowing whether you are exagerating it or not). your transmission fluid may be low or you may have a sticking brake or the engine may simply be low on compression, resulting in lower than normal power. there are other things you can check though, such as the ignition timing, to make sure that it is right so you aren't losing power there.

so if you rev the car by turning the throttle body it is fine, but then if you go and sit in the car and rev it with the accelerator pedal (while still parked) it lags a bit? if so, then yes, sounds like there is an issue with the cable. may be that either the cable or outer casing is damage, or it is slack and needs tightening up

    • 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
