Hey everyone im new here,

ive had my GTR for about a month now and loving it drives and goes great.

Now about a couple of weeks ago i was getting on the m5 and gave it a bit of a hit..

It kicked out in 2nd then i shift 3rd n kick out again then once i straighten up i noticed that my steering wheel was slightly angle to the left while i was going straight.

i also notice that even doing 100kph it was losing a bit of traction every time i when on the power ( was raining), after driving like this for 10mins shitting my self it then dawn on me that it felt like the car was crabwalking once i slowed down getting off the steering went back to normal and the car didnt feel on edge.Today i felt the same thing once i hit over 100kph..

Would any one know what would be causing this?

i do want to try and keep the original rear wheel steer...

Thank you for all suggestions/advice in advance!

Cheers

Kosta

Buy a HICAS elimination kit from the likes of Tomei or by an elimination bar or new rod ends to eliminate it or do a DIY solution or or or. There are loads of ways. Have a search there are loads of threads on this very subject.

As for the 10%. Stop. You will get yourself in no end of trouble and very possibly others. Join a club. Get a cams licence. Do track days. You will quickly discover how much fun doing things properly and responsibly is and also how lame driving like a muppet on the road is. Please do this. It is not difficult.

Strangly enough if its crab walking in a straight line under power, in our case it was the rear subframe bushes were shot so we slipped in some Alloy collars to lock it.

Problem solved, Hicas was still working, car stayed straight under power when in a straight line.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      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.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
