I must admit that there do appear to be some non-ricey members of the rb's. Radium, ND4SPD and maybe XRW(j/k).

Anyone who is more interested in stereo's and flashing lights should wear a bright pink armband to show that they belong to the rb's.:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

if you've seen my other car (ie. FIL) it's not exactly rice :P

mind you... it's still waiting for me to finish a gearbox swap....

now.. lets get our affiliations out.... WASCC, AFARCC, RB's, All4Wheels, Supra club of WA... I'm almost as much of a car club **** as XRW :-)

FIL, on the allfours site i saw your going being towed away at motivation? god knows how you did a diff in the supra, i thought toyota made good diffs, or was yours on its way out?

plate idea for the supra.. [FILTTY] :P

Shaun

i was told that the supra diff was unbreakable...

that said, there's evidence of some heavy duty abuse on the sub frame (ie. rollbacks) and the way the diff let go is in keeping with that..

oh, and apparently the particular gears i broke, do break a bit...

my car suffers badly from axle tramp at the plex, which is probably the worst thing you can do to a diff... and something I plan to address, along with replacing the subframe and beefing up the diff, before i make a serious return to kwinana....

yeah, i have similar problems with axle tramp at the plex.. sounds like the whole car is going to smash to pieces.

on the street and anywhere else is fine... im going to stay away from that deathtrap until some hardcore mods come about and see how she goes then.

bah.. thread hijack.

Shaun

FIL,

Was that your Supra at Motorvation with the diff dropped out. Me and my mate wondered how you had managed to do that, we thought that they were indestructable too.

Didn't mean to imply you were a rice-boy, just warning others of your rb affiliation, in case they didn't know:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

hehe..... fair enuff :-)

yeah, that was mine... i've taken it to the plex 3 times, including motorvation... done about 20 full noise passes, axle tramped almost every time, no matter how gently i launch... (u practically have to idle off the line to get traction)... at motorvation, did some small burnouts to try to get traction, and on the second launch of the motorkhana... big bang, and had to get towed back to the pits...

thankfully, we got the diff out that night, confirmed that was the problem, and got a new one the next day... was able to drive home that evening...

FIL,

I've done 60+ passes at the plex, and now my twin-plate is farked, you can't have fun in a car without breaking something.

I saw the rubber on the guards and assumed that burnouts had been involved.

See'ya:burnout:

yeah.... thats the way i looked at it too....

burnouts had been rather small, nothing much more than on over enthusiatic launch basically...enuff to dry the tyres...

i think part of the problem is that i know i could launch better if i slipped the clutch, but i refuse to do that because of the wear issues with metal on metal....

I only ever find out about these things after the event!!!

I was pulled over last nite for my blue headlights. Got off with a warning, but the officer told me if he wasn't about to go off duty, he would lift the bonnet and find several reasons to give me a sticker.  Must of had a really bad shift. As we were driving off, my son switched on the under car neons. What a lad!

Your a rice Mum! :uh-huh:

    • 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.
