So this is my r32, I've have had it for four years, not a huge amount of progress had been made, this probably has a lot to do with it being stored 300km away from where I live.

Anyway I'd best start from the beginning, I bought this R32 sedan off a guy from my uni, as a very tidy street car (in hindsight i wish I didn't) Originally it was an rb20de manual which has since been fitted with an Rb20det.

First thing and something that annoyed me was the towbar, so that got removed pretty quickly.

Bumper support had a small bit of rust on it so I tidied that up while I was there.

Since the car came with a GTR grille and bonnet, I thought I may as well get the bumper too. Needed to get the angle grinder onto the bumper support to get it to fit.

I did a few drift days and decided it needed a bit more grunt and some changes to the handling. This took longer than I expected. it sat in the shed for about two years before I decided to attack it. I've decided that this will be a full time track car as it's just going to be too hard to get any drift spec knuckles legal. The next set of posts are of work carried out within the last 10 months.

    • 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.
