hmmm either something dodge is going on or im getting paranoid about my car...

I live in a small court which is sort of out of the way and not off any main roads. I normally park the car out on the road in the no parking zone :thumbsup: (haha no plates!!) cause we have like 9 cars and no where near enough space to keep em all.

anyway... in the last few weeks ever since its been stickered up there have been shite loads of people coming in and checking it out (hmmmm maybe i should have put a 4 sale sign on it...) aging from primary school to teens and oldies, everyone asking the same thing to each other... "WHAT THE **** IS IT???"

up until now i havent thought much of it and thought it was kinda funny... but last night at about 12am i came home from work and came around the corner and almost ran over about 15 people! there were another 10 on the foot path walking out and another 5 on the other side walking away... all in their teens and male and female... so i quickly went and parked the car and came out to the court and everyone had cleared out.

after i got out the car i checked over it... albeit in the dark... and everything, thank god was in place as i had left it... BUT this has prompted me to never... ever... leave it out there again ;) i took the front bar off, took it for a quick fang and then parked it up the drive again on the front lawn right near where the ridgeback lives :D

what do you reckon??? im paranoid? or better to be safe than sorry.

Last thing i want while im organising its sale to Jairus is some ass clown kicking in a panel or smashing the windows to steal the 5 gauges that are in it and what ever else they can pry out.

Better to be safe than sorry, most definately.....who knows what type of kids they are, or could be.

To get an idea of what they're doing there and what they are saying.....If you can be ****ed, lie in the back seat one night with baseball bat or something with a hockey mask and let them come back again....firstly hear what they're saying so you can get an idea of what they're doing there....admiring the car, or wanting to do something to it.....then the rest is upto you....not too sure what i would do in that type of situation though...lol....just an idea. (or maybee set up some cameras)...im sure theres many more ideas out there if these activities continue.

Steve.

no idea... no one really stopped to ask his name.

thats what you get for crashing a party and causing trouble... he was missing quite a few after that... its not a whole one... just a small bit of one :thumbsup:

um... are the stickers from banzai still on there? coz they might just be like "pwoah hey this is the car from banzai... retspec" you should put up p sign that says "this is a professionally built drift car... more info at www.skylinesaustralia.com or... www.superfunhappysliders.com"

    • 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
