The RX7 is a serious proposition.

It can challenge the R33 GTR on both strip and track. The two cars have very different driving characteristics and styles.

For very little the RX7 is put into low 12's on the 1/4 and factory stock is superior to the GTR as a track car with reasonable endurance. In the first bathurst production series (93/94?) the RX7 raced the R32 GTR I believe and the 'others' and beat them. It went on to dominate for the next few years in that particular area.

Both cars is a cult in their own right. Really depend on you want to set up the car for i reckon. I have seen mad RX7s drifting like no tomorrow and mad GTRs runing like crazy down the drag strip. But than again RX7 are great for the drags as well. GTR have the advantage of the Attessa and probaly have more grip but other than that both cars are SICK. I think the RX7 are sexier and the GTR are more meaner ;)

That is debateable, but whatever the case, the Supras, NSXs, and GTRs tend to dominate the JGTC in Japan. Looking at the results of rounds 1-3 it's GTRs, NSXs, or Supras in the top 5, with the best RX7 result being 18th in round 3.

JimX,

JGTC, does not provide a real insight into the 'true' car. I mean none of those things are even remotely like the road going versions.

Talking as you drive on the Australian road, the RX7 is more than a match.

18th isn't a bad result for the 1.3 litre chooker.

    • 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.
