I'm no expert but with the right rims even a stock height GTR does not look "jacked up"

Something like this looks good and would be practical, but I guess it depends on what suspension mods and body kit you have to get any real answer.

Its hard to say without seeing what suspension you have fitted, yours may have adjustable coil overs, so if they are adjustable you can try setting a bit higher. I believe the stock height is 410F/400R. Your going to have to go to a suspension shop or get someone in the know how to adjust it for you. The R33 GTR Is quiet a meaty looking car, so its hard to make it look jacked up, I wouldn't worry about going up a bit. If it doesn't have adjustable height then your going to need to buy some adjustable coil overs.

Its rubbing because you probably have 19in wheels and the tyre is scraping along the inside fender and plastic guards. I had the same thing happening with my 19in until I got the guards rolled.

Remember to reset all your bushes when you raise/lower the car.

Lowering/raising will change the angle of your arms/rods, which can put stress on the bushes and result in premature wear (if you don't have the bushes released while youre setting height).

Thank you. I'll try and find out what "bushes" are

Front right tyre *shy*

Hahaha, don't worry, the good thing about owning such a car is you get to learn/work on them yourself!

Whereabouts are you located? Perhaps an SAU member can help you out.

Pull a wheel off and have a look at what suspension you have. To be honest, your car isn't ultra low, so raising it a centimetre or two should sort it out. It might need a guard lip/roll as well. Perhaps a bit of wheel alignment fiddling can sort out the scrub. Your car should have adjustable arms already.

Thank you!!! :)

I am in Adelaide by the way.

Oh, and it's BC racing suspension.

    • 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
