I am very interested, but would like to see a picture of it on a car to be sure.

Dont take this the wrong way, but what is the quality of the bar like? My car is beeing painted by one of the top (most fussy) painters in SA, and if it dose not sit in correctly, or isnt straight he wont touch it. (dont want to waste your time and money shipping it back to you)

I am going to pair it up with an impule bodykit, but I am unable to get a front bar at the moment (nor for the forseeable future), hence the need to look at alternatives.

PS what would it cost to ship it to Adelaide? (in the next week (2 weeks at the most))

My car is in pieces at the moment (and has been for 8months) and wedged in a corner, so you wouldn't see much.

As for the aero dynamics, the bar is designed to give a good amount of front downforce, and is also designed to go with the carbon fibre cannards we are currently finishing off.

The bar is also designed around a 600x300 intercooler, so you can receive maximum flow.

i just wanted to know where u tested its aerodynamics. as to do this properly you would need to put it on a car then put it thru a wind tunnel you would also have to put the original car in a wind tunnel to see the differences in downfoce. Only monash clayton has these facilities in australia. the wind tunnel their goes to 200 km/hr. and its very expensive to hire...

dont want to start a nerd-fight in someone elses thread - but you sir, are a goon!

No we have not tested the bar for exact aero dynamic properties. As I said we have "designed" it to give a greater amount of front down force, using the wing shapes on either side of the bar, and as I mentioned before, with the optional carbon fibre canards.

If someone on here wants to know the drag coefficeint of the car before and after the kit, they would be hard pressed to find it for any kit. This factor will also change for most cars at any rate, as it depends on may other factors as well, including ride height, and the other aero parts they have fitted to their car.

This said, most people buy body kits for purely cosmetic reasons. We are offering an alternative to the limited range of R33 kits available in Australia. There are very few companies in Australia producing NEW stuff. If you like it that's good, if you don't that's fine too. We are just offering you guy's another choice.

    • 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.
