Picked up from the Painter

I haven't been too active for a while, the last part of my project had taken a bit of a back seat as getting a car painted is, as we all know, pretty expensive. I did just pick my car up from the painter this week. Spent today washing, polishing, waxing and getting the last of the body kit back on the car. Is nice to have the aesthetic portion of the car underway now after having owned it for so long. Just the interior to finish now. Did get an Apple Car Play stereo into it, not just need the new carpet, and rear seat covers and new trims and it'll be like a new car. Very excited to have had this part of it finally done. I thought I'd come and post and share this. The forums here were integral in figuring out how I wanted to do fix up the car, so thanks to everyone.

I don't have a build thread, just a bunch of questions littered around the forum from about this time in 2011 until Jez tuned it in January 2012. Do have some more pics from the day I picked it up though. Was a long day today washing, polishing, waxing, steel wool on the windows. Feels very good to finally have it painted by a pro :)

      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?

      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.
