Hi All,

I thought I would introduce myself, the names Nick and I've recently purchased a White Stagea Series 2 RS4S. Will post pics soon!

I purchased this car late last year off Indy as IS Motor Racing, I've known Indy for a long time as he helped me build and tune my old Evo 8MR.

When I picked up the Stagea it was close to stock bar a few small mods r34 GTT brakes and wheels, Cusco coilovers, HKS catback and rear camber arms (unknown brand). I couldn't just leave it like this so I started modding straight away.

So far I have changed the front and rear sways + links to whiteline items and Indicators to Nismo smoked type.

I have also purchased a few other bits n' bobs I'm currently fitting or modifying:

Factory electric Leather seats which I'm in the process of wiring in - no loom on the RS4S for this unfortunately (Fairly easy job to fix anyway) Will take photos of the process and post DIY.
HDI FMIC kit - need to have an exhaust shop make up another pipe so I don't have to cut under the battery tray. - Any recommendations where to get this done in Sydney?

3" dump pipe

3" cat - spare off my old evo, need to get an exhaust shop cut and re-weld the flanges

DAYZ front bumper - I have cut out the numberplate mount and the vertical running supports to give it a wide mouth look and I am now in the process of cleaning up the holes left by these by filling with fibreglass, I have been taking photos of the process and will provide DIY once finished.

Also since buying the Stagea I have cleaned up the yellowing headlights, and given it a good detail - which was subsequently ruined the next day when it rained "typical".

After all this is done the next job is removing that pesky HICAS using a Driftworks HICAS removal kit and get some wheels without the weak offset and width of the GTT wheels. For a wagon especially after coming from a Evo I'm quite surprised how well it handles.

      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:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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
