Hey Guys

I have been a vehicle enthusiast since I learnt to skid my push bike. I've been into sleepers and have always built my own cars, the last being a 1JZ powered E30 BMW. I look at it as my apprenticeship working/building cars and I resisted the urge to ever own a mainstream performance vehicle. Mid life has caught up with me and other projects have taken over my car building time so the BMW never made it to the track. I'm keen to spend more time driving and less time under a car. .........................An opportunity came up last week to swap my E30 for an R33 Sedan. I apprehensively did it and so far this family chopper is really growing on me. I'm loving the fact that everything works and it handles really well for a slightly porky car.

Some of you may know the car already as it came from a forum member here who kindly gave me the low down after the car went through another pair of hands in the last few months.

I'm looking forward to getting to the track at some point, hope to meet some of you out there.

Cheers

Andy

Hey Andy, welcome to the site! :welcome:

Does that mean that this car will become a bit of a track regular? They're so much fun.

The E30 sounds interesting, any pics?

    • 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.
