Hi all,

As I've stated in topic title Im a late starter in the skyline class.

I brought a r34gtt 1999 model from a young family friend,love the car.

Many many years ago I had xui's L34's,then went to alfa's.I have 2 gtv's

mid 80 models v6 and 2,lt.I must say the gtt is an absolute beauty of a car.

I want to tidy up a few things on the car.audio,suspension etc,thought I would join up and make some new like minded freinds.

All your knowledge of these wonderful cars astounds me.

I look forward to chatting with you in the future.

Kindest regards to all.Butch(Glenn)

Hi all,I hope im responding correctly here either as a group,or am I supposed to respond individualy,please let me know.

As for the fiery demise of butch54 in a smoke laden alfa,na did'nt happen.(not yet anyway)but i am hearing you.

As for photos,I'll do my best in the near future to post some.As i've stated prior I'm new to this type of thing and I'm not sure how its done.

(posting photos I mean)I'm not that bloody old.

While I've got you here, can somebody tell me where I can get some rear inner guard plastics with screws and fixings etc.

Good second hand with no splits would be great.Take care all .Kindest regards butch54(Glenn)

Hi there BoyWhoCriedWolf,its amazing what one can do with a thousand liters of fire retardent foam in a car.

The wiley part is wearing goggles and a snorkle and still driving somewhat safely.

Take care friend,regards Glenn (butch54)

    • 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
