Just says Grommet-screw on my packets from Nissan. The fronts are different to the back one indicated with the red arrow. pretty sure the rear one you can get at autobahn, the fronts are a bit funky to incorporated the plastic strengthener bar that gets screwed on from under the bar. I bought 2 packs of 10 of each from nissan, worked out to around $30 for the lot.

Thanks jase_c! I ended up lopping both white clips off as Nissan wanted more than what you stated. I purchased an aftermarket clip grommet screw from Jefferson's Paint Supplies on McIntyre Road in Sunshine, Victoria. It wasn't a direct fit, however, I used cement adhesive around the circumference of the clip to the body, keeping it in place. Coupled with the bolt, the inner two sides of the grommet spays out, keeping it nice and secure.

Digging up an old thread- but save started a new one. Mods, please let me know if this isn't allowed..

 

I've got the same trouble, need to replace the clips circled in blue on the original post. For the life of me, I can't find anywhere that stocks grommet screws that 'splay' wide enough to hold. They'll fit in the hole, but when clipped in aren't big enough to hold.

Any other suggestions? Does anyone know the specific size required? 

 

Thanks.

    • 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
