hey guys

i am a member of sdu and i have been for a while

i joined on the tail end of a good era when like mined people who loved their cars especialy skylines used to just meet up and hang out. we would help each other out through previous experiances.

then something happend. i am not sure exactly when or why but the club execs changed and so did the direction of the club. at this point there were over 200 members. 18 months later there is only 80 or so. it was attempted to run the club like a business and this is where i belive it failed. people lost the passion for the club. but you guys are right someone wanted to make this the best and biggest club in NZ and they failed.

i joined cause i liked the idea of a skyline community and i love tinkering with cars.

i personaly have joined another club not because of spite but because i wanted to expand my horizons and like i said i just love cars.

i can see why people tried to clean up the forums because they are the public face of SDU and that face was getting put through mud.

i personaly hope that the club can change back to its rots and be an enthusiasts club. this is hard because there is a lot of work that needs to be done and usualy it is volunteer work and nobody seems to want to do it.

i also hope that immature shit stirrers grow up and learn to respect other and their property.

And you are posting that here because??? :?

I'm assuming this is Bizkit, dude we have nothing against individual people at SDU but we Aussies feel a bit jipped that we had more forum members and still couldn't join the club.

I think you'll find just by looking at the size of the Aus Forum, we aren't all red-neck mullet wearing yobbos and we have valid information to give out. But we are also social people hence the reason, I think so anyway, why the "big split" happened.

You can keep your 'information source", if I need something I'll know where to look, but don't come here feeling sorry for SDU.

BUT if you are here to have fun be merry come on in!

hmmm don't know what to say. but seems like some ppl got greedy. so they took the general forum away. you can do that stuff here :)

i don't see the problem. there where rulez they weren't followed so they enforced them. u gotta live with the consequences of your actions.

i'm ready for u squizz blast away.

I don't feel jipped Squizz. Why would I want to join a club whose rules are not accepted in Aus. Unless all you wanted was to join so you can receive a T-shirt and a sticker.

Me, I want more out of a club. Like racetrack meets for eg. No way will CAMS let you set rubber on a track because you are a member of a club that's overseas. (at least I think not :? )

Oh and ummm, re-read Bizkit's post. I don't think he was sympathising, just stating the obvious.

    • 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
