I'm probably reinventing the wheel, but I'm new in melbourne, living in ivanhoe.

Can someone puhleeeeese point me in the direction of a good knowledgable mechanic who is good with gtr32's. i'm finding a LOT of cowboys out there who leave me with a very strong feeling that they don't know what they doing.

The car needs new O2 sensors fitted, new rear upper camber arms & rear upper bushes fitted & if my budget extends to it, a new set of turbos fitted. I've got all the parts needed, including the turbos, all I need is someone to fit them....

Many thanks in advance guys... (& gals)

Hi rickhead welcome to Melbourne! :rolleyes:

The guys are correct; this has been discussed many times before. But even if you used the search button I don't think you will get much regarding how bad a workshop is. I think due forum rules and most importantly due to legal reasons people are not allowed to post bad comments or experiences they have had.

Regardless, I don't think people will disagree with me when I say; Take your car to Racepace. I don't know every workshop in Melbourne but I think you should save yourself from headaches and take it to Ben.

Hope this helps you in some way!

Thanks everyone, been a great help. Talking to some of the workshops has confirmed my suspicions about the guys I was originally thinking of dealing with. Should I become a vic member, would this entitle me to any discounts etc from workshops. ???

hehe u cant ask a workshop about there opinion on another workshop :)

well you can... but its going to be extremely biased obviously..........

    • 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.
