But this is a problem that was there when the shockies went - so i thought get shockies, get alignment, get balance and it will solve the problem but it hasnt. So its not a new thing that has just happened recently since balance and alignment its been something thats been around for about 2 months :)

Ken,

It's pretty hard to phuck up a balance, even I can use a balancer machine:D

See'ya:burnout:

Actually on mags it's quite easy to stuff it up.

They could have put the weights on without cleaning and this causes em to fly off.

As most shops dont use knock on weights , then positioning on the inner rim is critical.

Would you like a small wager that I can change the problem by swapping fronts to rears ?

That's as long as Niz hasn't left any important details out?

Cheers

Ken

Details like that!

Has this been doing it for a while ?

Does the steering wheel shake side to side or up and down ?

Cheers

Ken,

My mates own a tyre place, shouldn't be that hard for anyone who knows what there doing.

See'ya:burnout:

Paul I used to OWN a tyre shop and it is easy to get wrong if you don't know what your doing.

I am sure if I drove the car I could tell you in 5 mins where to start looking.

If you owned an Escort , you would know how critical w/bal is.

Cheers

side to side - which i guess is definately wheel related then. just pisses me off cos it is quite violent when you hit the 120km mark - which i shouldnt be doing but oh well im nauti - and thats kinda when u need everything to behave at those speeds :)

It's not brake shudder. Your car hasn't been in a crash before has it?

See'ya:burnout:

you wouldn't normally ( but who says Niz is normal ) go from 80 to 110 kmh with your foot on the brake.:)

Cheers

Yep , your learning . side to side is usually balance related , up and down is usually egged tyre/shockie related.

Cheers

    • 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.
