highflow sounds like the go. Only thing is i need quick turn around as its a daily for my mrs with no other car so will have to get another turbo and send it off seems from the site about $900. Pretty reasonable and those graphs seem to be spot on for street use.

Are you sure your missus wants that kind of power? Even 250 would be a handful in the wet...

Was going lower boost in winter or even when she drives it. In saying that she has pretty good control with the foot and is actually very good at getting the car up and going. Not one to just flatten it actually feels what the car is doing. She drove my manual LS1 before and that was a pig to drive. I do understand turbo is a different car but to be honest i have more chance of coming unstuck than she does.

Pretty sure on the avcr you can actually turn boost down in certain gears.

I pretty much only drive it after i do something to it or someone else does.

Nismo GT diffs are great for daily driven cars.. they allow you to adjust the torque when it engages too.

I personally now run a 2 way KAAZ however the car is a street/track car and not daily driven.

A real diff. Quaife or other helical/torsen centre. Nismo or other brand 1, 1.5 or 2 way mechanical, depending on how street/track the car is intended to be.

After doing a lot of reading a lot of people are saying shimming the diff is fine. The LSD in it is pretty tight and predictable from the very little driving i have dont of it..

What is everyones opinions on shimming?

Seeing as its purely a daily driven car.

Also going to leave it at the power it has now and get a track car it looks like. Mrs suggestion not mine. She must of had a good day...

id say drive the car first and see how the diff is behaving. also in relation to your driving style and power levels you are achieving.

An R33 VLSD in good condition isn't a bad bit of kit and if it working fine then I don't see the point in throwing money at a diff. There are always plenty of places to throw money at a skyline. Id throw money at good tyres and suspension before changing out a diff that was performing ok.

If there was an unlike button I would unlike this. A VLSD is only useful in an NA Pulsar.

hey, don't get me wrong. I love a better diff. Ill have a better diff. But when there is usually always something to have money spent on in a skyline then jumping at this one unnecessarily its just not something id recommend. If he was going to be tracking a lot, then yeah for sure do it.

As is said, id go for tyres n suspension upgrades before a diff if the stocker is working ok.

    • 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.
