Got an Ep71 Starlet with 1.5 turbo for racing before i got my license (still own it now) Then bought a bright yellow '93 180sx turbo. Sold that a year later for my '32 4 dr. Not as fast...but will be soon! Drove the 20B cosmo on my L's though, loved that car..

I'm a Nissan fan from wayback, my first car was a 1970 Datto Sunny .. all 998cc of menace :D, After that was an R30 Skyline, then a Ford Laser (the horrible twin-carby "sports" model) and now driving a Pintara TR-X (stop laughing). Trying to convince the missus that a Stagea RS Four would be a good idea with another bub on the way :D

Just brought what will be my official first car cuz im not including my old 81 sigma that i use as a paddock basher. It's an 84' z31 300zx N/A, not much at the moment, bought off these forums u might have seen for $600 :( Gunna be fun doing it up tho and plenty enough power for me.

hey i have a 79 sigma paddock basher! so unroadworthy, and undriveable too, with a rooted tourque converter/gearbox/diff that makes a lovely clunk and shakes the whole car going up hills. its great fun, driving over small trees..

1983 BMW 528i - Learnt in the car, took the tests in the car, passed the test in the car, had my first accident in the car.

Overall a solid car, but very very expensive whenever anything needs to be done to it. Still got it at the moment, sitting there on 18s, with M-Tech bodykit and exhaust...

1979 TE 4.1ltr 4speed Cortina burn out machine. :)

Had some awesome fun in that car and was suprisingly quick for what it was.

It had a mild cam, holley and extractors.

Peak power felt as if it was some where just before 5000rpm.

Had no problems pulling away from friends cars, VN v6, VN 5ltr, HQ 4door 5speed 308, 13B N/A RX7 S3.

I ran 235's on the rear, it used to launch off the line like nothing else.

And burnouts.. First second in to third on the spot.. To hold it down the road second was required, third would die off.

I went through 6 4speed second hand single rails (a couple broke teeth, and the rest were bearings and selector forks). I learnt how to rebuild the gearbox and after that it held for 1year without breaking.. Only 1 diff.

Awesome car handled well too as it had lowered springs and gtgas shocks. I remember my old may taking me for a drive in it and saying, you can either have this or a Mustang style celica 4cyl.. I said.. Whats this? he said 6cyl 4speed, I thought thats got to be quicker than a 4 banger. :)

Sold it, saved for my VL Commodore while I drove around in a little 4cyl Corolla, had the vl for 1year sold it for the VS 5ltr 5speed. That went through every drive line part imaginable inc a split rear subframe, so i sold it after 9months and bought the R32 Skyline. I've now had this for a little over 3years. THREE YEARS.. Says something I thinnk. :D

    • 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
