Get the crank crack tested, its simple.

There is no difference between the R32/R33/R34 cranks except for the oil pump drive on the R32 ones. Just get a collar fitted and you wont have any problems. Talk to Greg at Pro Engines (www.proengines.com.au). He makes the collars exactly the same as the JUN ones using hardened steel and only charges about half the price. The nose of the crank has to be ground down, then the collar is pressed on (using a 40 ton press I think it was) and grub screwed in for good measure.

The weakest part of the crank is the rod bolts. Use ARP 2000 rod bolts and you wont have any problems with it. As an example, I have been running over 300kw on an R32 crank (which is now 13 years old) for almost 3 years now. Recently had the crank out of the car and it was still in perfect condition.

You will be waiting a bloody long time for a brand new crank. Nissan JP dont even have any in stock, and they will fill all there back orders first before they even think about sending them overseas. Thats assuming they come back into production....

      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.
