Got my new beast today :)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

I just thawt that i would mention i got my new R33 today so if you see a red GTS crunching gears and doing 360`s in the middle of the road please give way cos i am new to it.

BTW its my first manual car and im told that the 18 pounds boost is pretty savage.

I hope to see you all around on cruzes and such and please c`mon over and say hi :)

Hi Lee .... welcome to the warm fuzzy world of SASA.

Even though I don't won a Skyline myself :) .... I nearly did though - does that count?

I only have a crappy little S15 ;) .... check it out at My Site

Got any pics of your ride?

btw be very careful at that sort of boost if you've never driven a manual before .... best of luck and look forward to meeting you at the next cruise.

Welcome SPOOLIN (Lee) Nice choice of car, & colour too!

I'd be a little cautious about running 18psi boost unless the engine/turbo/intercooler etc have been set-up to allow this!

If your car has already been modified to cope with 18psi then ignore the above warning & smile ;) 'cause you've scored a good one mate :uh-huh:

Nightcrawler,

Saw you & your beast on Fri'/Sat' night (can't remember which?) @ the lights on Grand Junction & Sudholz, we were in the family mobile (green 5dr RAV4) turning right from S into GJ. Can't miss those plates of yours mate :)

Lee,

You've sure got me interested now mate :uh-huh: Can you give us any idea on the engine mod's?! Like the turbo it's running :)

You're gunna' have to come along to the dyno day on the 12Oct' then ;)

:)

Lee,

I am new to the world of skylines and manuals as well.

I bought an R32 GTS-4 about 6 weeks ago.

It won't take to long to pick it up, just take your time to start with and don't rush your gear changes.

Hope to see you out cruisin.

Woohoo..........:)

Ive just come back from a few hotlaps (well slow laps actually) around the block and the beast is still in one piece *yay*

Hmmm......enigine mods....Well i dont really want to give too much away at the moment until ive seen the car make the power myself. Oh and if i say too much no one is gonna line me up at the lights:( but i will say that the (OS Giken triple plate clutch) is a bi*ch for slow speed takeoffs.

As for the dyno day i will do my best to get there but it will depend on how my driving is coming along :)

Lee

You'll probably find there will be others on the forum with the same gizmos fitted to their Skylines. All you need to do is find someone with the same bit of gear & ask away :) Assuming they know how it works!

    • 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
