Welcome to SAU dude.

Bit of a step up from a commonwhore to a skyline ;).

IMHO Don't chip the ECU, it'd be easier to buy a Power FC (complete replacement ECU), or just an SAFC.

Also, lower your car dude!! Your rims aren't to my taste, but hey whatever floats your boat. Just lower it! :P It's riding a little high. Seriously high :D

Check out the Forced Induction Performance section for threads on how to get a bit more zip out of your line.

Firstly, nice ride.. welcome to the club..

Rather than re-chipping the ECU - I suggest you look into a Power FC which is a fully replaceable ECU and the results will be as good as if not better than a re-chip.. should look at about ~$1050 for a power fc + about $300 for dyno time + tuning.. maybe more.. some of the guys should know..

cheers,

damm man.... 20" chromes? eww.. hehe Wouldnt want to get a defect :D

Your car does look very high.. Even mine isnt that high.

Id get king spings or whiteline springs and replace the shock. Coil overs are nice on good and smooth roads like tracks. But when u drive it on Sydney roads.. remember to get a coushin..

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
