But adam32 insists that I need a AFC to make it into the 13's because I dont have enough power. From the way I read mosts of the posts here it seems power is more important than traction and that you must have more power in order to run a good 1/4 mile time. The car is definately making the speed down the track, the terminal speed shows this. Its just a matter of getting the traction initially.

Got Boost has an R32

its lighter, so should be faster in that respect with the same mods as an R33.

13.7 i doubt you'll get with your current mods even with decent road tyres slicks maybe.

but a 13.9x is not impossible just look at mine and MrSnub times both with filter, 10psi and cat back zorst.

Exactly. But everyone is telling me a 13.xx pass is impossible on my current level of power. I *NEED* a AFC..... BS. So again the issue is re-enforced, you can get into the 13's with just exhaust, pod and boost, you need good clutch and wider tyres than stock and possibly some more suspension stuff. Rang ross @ auto clutch this morning but he's away till the 28th.

I'd say it would pull a 13.7 quite easily.

No wrong again your memory seems off a little.

We told you that a mid 13 to 13.7(see your claim above) was highly unlikely with your setup as no one else has managed those figures without more mods than you have.

There is a BIG difference between 13.xx(13.999) and a 13.7

Now please shutup about it and go do a 13.5 - 13.7 before posting anything again on this thread.

Then we'll all happily FOAD for you

Rob,

if you going to pay for the labour to fit the clutch then maybe hold off and get a light flywheel at the same time too, you won't regret it. The best unit is the ogura chrome molly 4.8kgs! costs about $600 + freight, the stronger chrome molly won't scratch up as bad with the puck style clutch ,as much as the stock one will.

I agree that the S-AFC is un-nessesary to achieve the 13, you clearly have enough power, the right tyres and clutch will see you there since you have the KCA349 already.

A tallish profile of tyre will suit best (55-60 series), don't go the 40 series they have too little side wall flex. Having said that street tyres aren't designed to flex/wrinkle the side walls anyway, so anyone know of a good brand for this?

ROFLMAO

you guys crack me up made very funny reading

dont forget us 32 driver still are lower on cubes than 33's

most skylines ive seen at drags on street rubber all suffer from traction 1st and 2nd. a bit of trail and error gettin it off the line

and the times will drop. fittin those pineapples definetly helped my car with changin the pinion angle.and im still only runnin 205 nankang crap tyres.at 20psi when racing.ive got 16x8 with 225's for next time

Rob i can def reccomend ross, payed eight hundred something for a nine puck with a 2500p plate all fitted. Best thing i have ever done to my car(so far) have fun:bonk:

rob77: haha so many different stories going around.

this is the version i heard.

he's gone under, owe's lots of money to people and because speedworks were renting off wheels world.. they have a month to move and are apparently moving to Osbourne Park.

Shaun

this is a KCA349 Diff Lock kit right ??

Does this LOCK the diff completely ? I thought all lines were LSD anyway, why would you want to lock it ?

does this particular kit cause wheel-skipping around tight corners ? (i love that sound)

    • 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.
