Hahaha, OMG that bonnet is awesome. But I've already set out with my plan toward modifying my babe, GTR front, Chargespeed bonnet, full respray in Starfire Lexus Pearl White (best white colour I've heard). Carbon diffuser, rear and front splash guard and clear indicator signal light are now on the way. Only performance-wise mods to be purchased, that includes BC BR Coilovers, one complete set of sway bars + camber kit (front & rear) and a set of front and rear slotted disc rotors. Like i said, I know they are no away to compete with Tein and Cusco, respectively but imo they are good bang for bucks. here is the link for sway bars and camber. If you guys can throw in any comment that would be great ;)http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GODSPEED-350z-g35-suspension-sway-bar-front-camber-rear-toe-arm-rear-camber-/300803383628

Ah, btw, I'm considering between these 2 suppliers for disc rotors:

1. GSL Rallysports: Always heard good feedback from this guy and apprently prices are cheap. I've already called, they can do about $550 front and rear slotted to fit non-brembo calipers

2. Rapid Rs: it's said the rotors are genuine and they come in slotted or slotted dimpled. Looks very nice yet not sure about quality. I've read from falcon forum, this guy doesnt seem to get bad feedback. Here are the links to their products:

Slotted: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-2-5-3-0-STAGEA-RDA-FULL-SETBRAKE-ROTORS-SLOTTED-296MM-292MM-/150823403296?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231dc67f20 ($322 + delivery $35)

Slotted dimpled http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-2-5-3-0-STAGEA-FULL-SETBRAKE-ROTORS-UPG-SLOTT-296MM-292MM-/151064551742?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item232c26213e ($402 + delivery $35)

Anyone could help me out with decision making here. lol, I'm procastinating all the times :))

Greddy + Chargespeed is what I would vote for if I had a gun to my head.

Honestly though, the 3 gtr front bars look absolute trash. It's really cheap and doesn't suit the car.

Also not a big fan of people putting carbon/FRP bonnets on what is, for all intents and purposes, a luxury GT car. Unless you are packing big horsepower, there is no need for it

The urethane Nismo bar is the only way to go .... you WILL regret your decision to go fibreglass the 2nd time to hit it on something and you are up for a new bar plus painting. FG just sucks.

Oh, I happen to have a urethane Nismo bar for sale :)

I'll take it one step further with the GTR mods to say that it will make the car look cheap and tacky because it's pretending to be a car worth way more than what it actually is. If you really like the GTR look, then the only way is to buy a real GTR. Otherwise, you will look like a fool.

    • 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.
