jayce and geordie are the only two people with r32 gtr's (in the a.c.t/qbn) that i know that didn't have to rebuild their motors after purchasing their gtr, because of the motor being a lemon or of 'other' imperfections if there are others out there no pun intended.

just goes to show when purchasing an import you must (after getting ownership of the vehicle) get it thoroughly checked and serviced, by a PROPER AUTHORISED WORKSHOP that deals with imports day in and day out, regardless if you decide to putt putt or hammer it here and there, here is a list of workshops in a.c.t/qbn area that i trust fully in:

ed at integra automotive (tuner/parts extrodinaire, famous for his 'on road tuning' capabilities also uses pete's 2WD dyno from autotech from time to time, has a 'thing/partnership' with greg at pro engines)

greg at pro engines (can bloody well rebuild anything)

john at trojan imports (parts grandmaster/rebuilder/ in a good way crazy bastard with crazy results uses jakes dyno and tuning capabilities to well.... get crazy results, has massive contacts list for importing parts as small as BOV's to as large as complete cars)

jake at jakes performance (tuner/parts/fabricator/engine rebuilder extrodinaire and much much more, like ed at integra gets the job done with more than excellent results, has his own in-house 2WD dyno that pretty much gets exhausted at the end of the day)

Pfft mine didnt need a rebuild, was just a shop that shall remained unnamed that decided it was stuffed and pulled it apart. So has anyone seen those new Evos?

Bah it needed a rebuild didnt you say it had some really dodgy noises coming from it and you took it to the place that sounds like mitsubishi ***'s and they made it worse ???

I was referring to the rebuild I had almost 3 years ago not long after I bought the car.

It made some really bad noises which was every tooth of the 3rd gear cog floating around in the gearbox hitting other bits of metal and a pressure plate snapped into 3 pieces :/ Nothing wrong with the engine though, was in remarkably good condition for its age.

Stunnd - Id be Shocked :/. I would be interested to know what exactly you find out about your engine.

Im really sorry you experienced this first hand. Suggest you put it in your lessons learned part of the brain and move on. There's no other option.

A lot of us are guilty of this lesson. At least SAU has been with us for 4 years now and has a heap of info that can help and save you from making mistakes when buying or fixing your ride.

Most buy the Skyline and then find the site. Imagine the heartache that would be saved if we did research first.

Remember tho - Sometimes sh*t just happens.

If it comes to a rebuild - A big YES for Greg n Warren @ Pro Engines. Best rebuild, good price, - honest shop. You want to take it a place you can trust where the guys know and do the business - take it to Pro Engines.

I've slammed that *** workshop publicly many times on this forum, well actually. I've told a true story a few times, naming and shaming. I didn't know it was such a big issue.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
