Ive been outbid for these GTT R34 guages, so if anyone wants some gauges for their Series 1, here they are! (ebay item 4578449632)

Brendan

you should buy a set of orange ones ian...

then i can buy your ones.....

i reckon it would look tops on your car :)

Hmmm, how stupid am I feeling today.. :-)

Damn that blue S2 Stagea looks FINE!

:O

Yep - I got it for the wife, but I've ended up driving it myself quite a bit.. :-) Bayside Blue (BB), what other colour would you want... :-)

Though I reckon muck's looks pretty good as well (for one that isn't BB), it's in the "Super clear red II" (correct me if I'm wrong) - you should post some picks of it.

Ian

Splitfires; Are they worth the cash?

Im in the middle of doing boost modifications (get my Apexi 'cooler & RB25 Neo turbo in the next fortnight), so should I be spending decent wadfuls of greenbacks to do the leads also (also considering Ive got an Apexi SITC ready to go on).

Opinions? Ive got 8k to go on the stage, but 5k has already been gobbled up!

Cheers, Brendan

Well I found that the stock coils on my r33 died after I went above 12psi, well they were fine until I hit ~4500rpm and then would cough and splutter. I whacked in a set of these and didnt have a problem after that.

There are a lot of different opinions about stock coils vs splitfires, but I have had only good experiances with splitfires.

My 2cents, dont buy them until you need them. And make sure you identify the coils specifically as a problem before you buy splitfires as what seems to be coils might be another problem, and buy splitfires might cover-up other issues, but then again I am by no means a mechanic, nor do I know much about cars or motors, just typing from experiance.

Excellent feedback, cheers Ska. Ive read a list of mods on your Stagea, so was intrigued to see what you thought of them. I'll keep my Paypal account closed for now then!

Well, I got an Apexi 'Hybrid' fmic from ebay Japan (good for 400hp), with the C-bend style end tank so that the pipe comes back behind the 'cooler and into the standard holes. Costing me $500 courier delivered (so I'll be selling the R34 'cooler in around 6 weeks), but looks to be in very good condition.

Add on to the Stagea the Neo turbo/actuator & Z32afm Ive picked up from forum members, and we should be laughing once its all dialled in on the new SITC and SAFC (both off ebay).

Its a good way to buy (off these forums & from ebay) but its also good to know if what you're buying will be of benefit (jury's out at the moment on the fmic with custom pipes, but we'll see...............)

  • 3 weeks later...

just a note to anyone be scammed out of 8$ by buying workshop manuals off ebay - theyre just selling the same manuals that have been floating around the internet for ages, making money off people who dont know any better.

hope this helps. sure people are already distributing the copyright material for free, but to make money on it crosses the already mostly crossed line...

    • 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.
