Some of you guys know that grumblebee (James) is entered in superlap.

Unlike most of the cars out there this is a genuine budget shed built bit of awesome

And you are not going to see many r31's at superlap having a crack.

This is his car:

Anyway it costs a fortune to enter and have a decent crack(you won't get change from 5k I recon)

So I am putting this up to see if everyone in the club will get behind him and maybe help out.

How can you help?

slip him some cash. This can help him by:

Buy the good tyres (the super softs are about 3 seconds quicker than the medians)

Buy petrol

Subsidise accommodation

Buy faster bits and a tune

Lighten the car

Or maybe you can help out when he is out there

Or even cheer him on( whilst drinking beer like me)

So anyway I've slung him $100 to get the ball rolling( just because I love r31's)

Be generous and help a 31er out if you can.... Even if it's five bux

Any cash received goes straight to James,

Good thinking and a really thoughtful deed Pete.

Will post link to this thread in the ACT section. (James' home turf)

and I can pass the hat round at this Friday nights meet and help out.

I'll match your donation.

Great idea Fatz - I'll contribute towards this worthy cause!

By the way, here are some more photos of "Grumblebee" for those who havent seen it in the flesh... I think it's likely that this will be the only R31 at WTAC this year, I reckon it will also surprise a few people too. :)

    • 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.
