Do the Iron Mask cars all suffer from poor low beams ? I put +50 H4's in mine and the improvement was minimal . I should really remove the glass lenses to see if the reflector chrome plating is dirty or stuffed/corroded . Have any of you had this problem and found a fix ? Are new light units available ?

I've also refited the modified struts with the HDT Bilsteins and adjustable camber tops , anyone after some DR30 specific short Tokiko front inserts (suit lowered car) in Sydney ?

No, not that I know of. I managed to find an alt with the same body, but had to swap over the cooling fan & pulley. I don't know what this alt was from.

If yours needs rebuilding I recommend Hampstead Auto Electrical on Muller Rd. They'll actually bother to get it re-wound if it needs it, whereas most places will just tell you it's knackered & buy a new one - even if it is only the diode pack.

Im not sure of direct replacements,but if you can make a Bosch alt fit as they are cheap,common and reliable.

the alt may be aok,usually wiring/harness connectors are the cause of volt drop.A heavy wire(9mm) from the B+ terminal of the alt to the positive terminal of the battery is a good start.

I drove my car the other sunday night for first time in over 18 months and i didn't have drama's with the lights, i've got a magna as a daily driver and i have to say that the lights were just as good as the magna...

As for alternators, apparently the drama's with the standard dr one's is, being internally regulated they can't keep up, yes there is a bosch alternator that does fit, Josh has swapped to one i don't know which one it is, but i know there is some wiring that has to be changed going to it but apart from that is a direct fit

FJ alternators wasy . Aust spec Bluebirds (910 Ser 1,2) were fitted with Bosch alternators . Mine had the longer stator and rotor for 80a output . I also had the higher volt (14.7) integral regulator . Parts for these earlier alternators are getting thin on the ground , particularly the high output reg mine is an Ingrams , but they can be made to fit . The chief drama is the bulb check relay systems on Aust spec cars. The alt on mine refused to kick in and charge when started unless the engine got to 1300/1400rpm . Stay with the std Hitachi , better quality and reliability .

    • 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.
