I'm with Niz...a 350Z if they're not "banned" from this thread :(

Maybe I should make it a little more interesting : ALL Jap Cars Banned!

I know this sounds like a stupid thread, but hey, if they can ban Skylines from the Australian Touring Car Championship, they can ban anything :wassup:

From what I read, the GTR's were banned from the Australian Touring Car Championship because the local Holdens & Fords were getting their asses whipped by the Skylines. The GTRs that competed were forced to carry an extra 150kg, and were limited to 1.3 bar boost, in an attempt to make the competition more competitive. However this didn't stop skylines from winning the 1991/2 Touring Car Championship wth Jim Richards/Mark Skaife before GT-R's were banned from the competition altogether.

You forgot the part about CAMS being in deep financial sh*t, and needing a return to a cheaper series. And the part about the Sierra's domination which contributed to the Group A formula's infamacy in this country. The GTR's were never "banned", they were just not included in the new ATCC rules, for obvious reasons; they were too quick, and bloody expensive. Too expensive to run save for rich or factory based teams.

Back On topic: If all jap cars were banned? Thats easy. A Sierra Cosworth, or an E30 M3.

    • 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.
