really should be 30 profile rears...

Why's that?

was Taleb tyres able to beat the prices of thewheeldeal?

Yeah mate, not by heaps but every dolla counts plus he's great to talk to so i don't really care for the price difference.

really should be 30 profile rears...

Thought i may as well explain why we went a 255 35.

working off the 245 45 18 rears, a 255 35 20 rear is only 8-9mm larger in diameter, to have the diameter match up with a 30 series profile we would have to go a 275 30 20.

Sean wanted a little stretch, nothing extreme but nothing too fat either so a 275 wasnt gonna suit, a 255 35 20 on the 10 will go perfectly with a 225 35 on the 8.5.

(a 245 35 20 on the rear would have matched the diameter even better, but A, the V35 comes with staggered rolling diameters from factory so this keeps them uniformly staggered, and B, there would've been more stretch on the rear, the 255 stretch will match nicely with the 225 35 front.)

happy to help

staggered diameter is a good look on a tractor, on the street it looks funny. i guess im just pedantic about things like that

Square setup looks good on your 4 door, staggered setup looks good on my coupe.

    • 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
