Hyper-Tech done work on my brother in-laws MYO WRX. They were not cheap and did stuff up 2 x AFM and then charged him for each one they broke, he did come to a compromise with the manager and sorted the AFM problem by installing a MOTECH ECU (not at Hyper-Tech) after all that! I was not aware that they no longer deal with the public.

Anyway, my local garage have just quoted me for the compression test anyway ($50) I have been going to him for years (2 doors from my house) and trust him 100% - He mainly deals with Hot Rods not Hot JAP's and has said he will look at it for me and if he's not comfortable with tuning it, will advise me so. I think I will leave it at that for now until it's actually in my hands so I can see what ECU it's using ETC...

Thanks for your help.

RacePace all the way - Ben gave me plenty of advice prior to purchasing my GTR as well as ongoing, even when it did not financially benefit him. I don't even bother getting a quote from him now - i just drop my car off, pick it up and pay him.

So yeah - RacePace or Ice all the way - definitely not HyperTech, i have a million and one reasons why.

I too will recommend race pace. Ben is without doubt "The Man" and knows his stuff. He is not cheap nor expencive and charges what his expertise is worth and when you are talking about such an expensive motor as an RB26 to rebuild I wouldn't take the chance.

"A penny worth of prevention is better than a pound worth of cure".

    • 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
