Gday from WA

Gday guys. Not a skyline owner but a fan regardless.
Little intro about me. 34 years old, bit of a nerd. Love Astronomy and 4wding.

My current car is an imacualte Version VI STi

Last year I spent a lot of money on the old girl trying to modernise her performance.
I currently did the following

Engine:

- EJ207 SCD block
- Rehoned and cleaned, remachined.
- ACL Race bearings
- Nitto I beam forged rods
- Weisco forged pistons
- EJ257 nitrated crank (for 2.13L capacity stroker)
- ARP rod bolts and main bolts
- 04 WRX rebuilt heads with shimless oversizded valves
- Kelford 272 camshafts
- OEM Subaru MLS Gaskets
- Kelford springs and retainers
- Lots of head porting
- DW 1000cc injectors and DW billet fuel rails
- ARP 625 aged headstuds
- ARP case bolts
- Vernier cam gears
- 11mm oil pump
- Blouch dominator 1.5XTR ball bearing turbo @ 22psi
- Process west (largest) TMIC
- Process west CAI
- Ultrex UEL headers, double ceramic coated and wrapped
- 3" ultrex up-pipe
- BPM 3" TBE
- Autronic SM4 ECU with antilag and rotational idle
- Ported inlet manifold
- upgraded fuel system with aftermarket regulator and braided lines
- 600HP fuel pump

Driveline

- 04 Long ratio STI six speed
- Thicker/stronger axles
- R180 rear diff
- 600HP organic clutch

Suspension
- Tein coil overs all round
- Pretty much the entire whiteline catalogue of suspension accessories.



I havnt got many performance figures yet but the car did run the following at the motorplex

Elapsed time:         11.628 sec
Terminal speed:     123.55 mph
60':                          1.785 sec

Theres more in it I just need to learn to shift these STI 6 speeds a bit quicker as I find them quite notchy and goofy.

I've always loved the looks of old gen STI and EVO. Nice looking car.

 

 Since I live in Canada I have no clue what WA is lol, but regardless of that, Welcome aboard!

    • 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
