So, after around 2 and a half months of f**king around with insurance companies and the various idiots and cheapass bastards on nissansilvia, I got a new car.

For those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about...

Previous car:

Picked this up on saturday

It's 100% stock, apart from the Watanabe RS-8 wheels.

And yet, it still flies.

This thing is awesome, you can throw it into anything, and it sticks to the road, for lack of a better term, "like shit on a blanket"

:D

nice magna

One of the guys on NS imported a black one through us and I got to drive it. Its pretty nice, bit sluggish, but its like a more mature Evo 2/Lancer GSR. Apparently you can get good power out of em too.

Now you'll have to post up an intro in the 4 Door Sedan section.

For a stock car, I think it goes pretty well. Much better than the S13.

The two inch (I think) exhaust is really, really restrictive, and so is the exhaust manifold.

But you can just upgrade them all to EVO 1/2/3 items.

Another guy that just bought one, he put on a few simple mods, and managed to run a 13.8

    • 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
