So the problem is still happening mechanic thought it might be the fuel pump module but took it out of the equation by earthing the fuel pump and it still happens it gets a really shit idle then might stall at idle, might loose power at 80 km and foot goes to the floor pull over and stall, it's all just random really need to find the fault, my mechanic had it out on the road driving on the dyno and it wouldn't play up has anyone else had a similar problem just lose power for 5 seconds then comes good

gonna give the car a good look over this long weekend, and has to go back to mechanic for front end/steering shit so ill get them to give it a check over too.

im having another problem at the moment hicas light comes on mostly under heavy accaleration or left turns checked power steering fluid looks to be a bit low cant find what the recomended fluid is though, did a search and got all different answers dx 2 dx 3 dx vi nissan special fluid just wondering what is the go ?

thanks guys for the help :)

the one in the boot is for the attesa, i was thinking that something is better than nothing but some oils and hoses and shit are ment to only have 1 sort. ie synthetic or mineral and shit. cars giving me enough friggen problems i dont want to upset her anymore lol

I'd use Valvoline Synthetic ATF. Its Nissanmatic D, J and K compliant and ~$10.00/L.

Not true about mineral and synthetic - you can use either, but synthetic will last longer, and for power steering the higher boiling point can be useful at the track.

I like to change all the fluids when i get a new (to me, second hand) car, but it depends on time/money/priorities. So maybe for you it would be better to focus on fixing broken stuff and just top up now. Its just Valvoline so get it from any spare parts place. Another option is the Nulon synthetic but its a fair bit more expensive.

The rebirth of my thread haha.

So we've come along way. More mods more heartache moooore money but hey that's motoring. So I've been dwelling on a couple of ideas but need some answers and who better to ask than the people who have done it before me.

At high rpm 3rd to 4th crunches like a bitch I did some reading to find that possibly r32 gtr gearsets and patrols are the same so I wonder where could a "rebuild" kit be sourced from bearings synchros seals etc.

And I think I like the sound of a -5 turbo setup, a bit laggy but Moore powah. But do they go by another name so as I can look them up for price etc?

Thanks guys

Lol don't listen to the self proclaimed king of lag either! Go with 9's forget about 7's and 5's! :D

Everyone knows how much fun it is losing to a stock WRX at the lights unless you're spinning your car to redline in the 1st 3 gears!

    • 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
