So who Melb is running a Power FC on their R33 GTST. I would if possible like to borrow one for 5 minutes to compare the plugs, and if the plugs are the same, borrow it for 30 minutes to plug it into my R32 GTST (RB20DET)...and see if she cranks over.

Ill post here for all to see, that if ANY damage is sustained by the Power FC i will replace in full with a NEW Apexi Power Fc.

Anyone willing to help a lowly RB20 owner trying to sus out some hillbilly R&D and get ahead in the world. :D

oi ash, don't order a power fc in the next month. Apexi have stopped making them till the end of June/Mid July and then they're gonna release a newer version with the handcontroller bundled at a CHEAPER price than it sells for now.

i've got access to an AP Engineerinig RB20DET PFC if u wanna try it. I brought it down ages ago for a guy who still hasn't fitted it. Might try to get him to lend it to me.

Yeh in Melbourne these days.... living in Brunswick East, if you need a Vic HQ Silver then drop me a PM if your in town... goes for any other NSW track/SAU guys i know.

Ive been talked into trying to get a Pro for my Rb20DET, which means the AP engineering one wont do.... so i have to try and make my own.... on paper the only difference between the ECUs is the variable valce timing etc, and the ECU shouldnt have a problem running open circuit .... so the main drama will be the plug itself (may need to make a fly wire) and the outputs from a few sensors (but std is 4-20mA) and 0-5V so shoudlnt be a problem, worst case scenario a few resistors or a bit more tuning to get the base maps to work.

Funkeymonkey or anyone else that can help.... that would be great

Sweet! Have you caught onto the track scene down there yet? I'd like to take the car for a fang around one of the tracks down there.
:werd:

road trip :)

SBS is alive and well down here :D

Yeh there is plenty of Sprint days with certain car clubs, and Winton & Calder have open days during the week (Winton on Fridays, Calder on Wednesdays)

There are a few likely lads from SAU-Vic that like to bash their cars around circuits, but at the minute dont have the numbers that NSW have. Still there seems plenty of opportunity, just not as a group with other Skyliners :Oops:

See below for my first foray onto Vic circuits, there seems to be abot 4 or 5 of us going. Winton is about 550-600km drive from Sydney, about 400-450kms past Wakefield :Oops: ...

I feel it's time for Team Trackday to invade VIC. :)

I been to Winton and saw a few cars and bikes doing the circuit. How about Phillip island? Any clubs have regular outings there?

PIARC have regular days there, so do member clubs of Marque Sports Car Association (MSCA)

I went to Phillip Island the other week, its about a 2 hr drive from Melbourne, so would have to make it a weekend, but like i said, free accom at my place if you want to play up in the city while your down here. :alcoholic & :whip:

Whereas somewhere like Winton you can set up HQ in Benalla (?spelling?) or Albury, and saves about 4-5 hrs driving each way

I would probably have to come down for a weekend for sure. Winton is every Friday so that could be the go for now. I was down there on the long weekend. I don't know how you can cope with the cold being from Sydney.

    • 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
