Thanks folks,

Sorry about the whole "Tailshaft/Propshaft" thing. Trying to translate aussy english into Uk english can sometimes be challanging!

Shorten the tail/prop-shaft... Check....

Im guessing it's worth while getting it ballanced...

I would hope any decent shop would include that in the price...

ok asked for a r33 early model clutch slave cylinder today - was told there are 9 different ones - so more specific - i said suit rb25turbo roughly '93 model RWD... still came up with 2 choices - but the one he did offer me was $88! new

DD - you got a part number or anything or did u find there were 2 different ones - coz this guy wanted me to find vin#/chassis# to help define which one - but i told him its for a box conversion

thanks

update

box is bolted up - no modifying to the transtunnel and kept the standard crossmember but turned around (with spacers added)

getting the yokes swapped over on the tailshaft - pickup later in the week

ordered the r33 clutch slave cylinder - pickup tomorrow

HOPEFULLY it will be as easy as this!!! ;) should be finished by the end of the week :huh:

does anyone have the part number for the rb25 box slave cyl?

also, when changing from rb20 auto to rb20 with rb25 5 speed. what master cylinder can i use? only r32/ceffy/laurel? or wil a s13 one do the trick? or are they all the same?

cheers

shit i should've checked it when i bought it... :)

nissan dont give out part numbers for whatever reasons... but i ordered a series 1 / r33 / skyline slave cylinder - 93 model (early)

and i was given the correct one - i was told on here they're about $88 but the quote i got from nissan was like $110 - so i quoted the price and they actually did it for $88!!!

great information, so basically i need a series 1 box with yoke and things should be fine

someone has also informed me a nissan terrano or z32 yoke will work

im also a bit interested about the piece needed to make the speedo drive work, does anyone have a pic of this?

Its piss easy dude. Someone has pics I think.

But the actual cog bit, that goes inside the gearbox, the rb25 one should be red. You pull that off the rb25 electronic speedo gearing thing. Then you pull the one off the navara one, and somehow get the rb25 one on. Just the gear, not the metal spline thing.

Did you read the first page?

You need.

S1 RB25box and yoke

S1 Rb25 box clutch slave

Navara speedo drive (code is somewhere on here) -(pics are also somewhere on sau, might take 30mins of searching tho)

Custom/shortened tailshaft

Move the cross member

Modification plate

I seriously cant think of anything else we needed. While its out tho I would clean up or get a new clutch, and machine the fly and pressure plates back. Just saves on money. I would also put a cheap oil in the box for a month or so, cleans it out, and you dont throw away good money on good oil if the box is stuffed.

Good luck!

    • 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
