Tried a secret new way of detailing engine bay. I think it came up pretty amazing. Love a nice clean car :(

p.s awesome colour & wheel choice player_hater.

whats the secret new way you detailed your engine, im bored i feel liek detailing mine but just dont know what to use, pm me if you can, by the way nice clean engine bay mate

cheers tony

player_hater- nice car mate, wheels look nice aswell

LOL I just gave it a good hose down, then wiped over everything with warm soapy water, then wiped it down again with an old (clean) rag, and then used some tyre shine on the black rubber parts, then let it dry for an hour or so...

If you look close enough, the IC piping and strut brace still need a good polish but that can wait til later on.

tire shine :O:O:O:O too oily and with the heat it spreads everywhere and makes an ugly mess. do the washing and wiping part make sure u do a good job cleaning all the grease and oils off and then after blow the engine down with the compressor (be carefull around the electronics) to get rid of excess water build up let it dry up good and then silicone spray it!! trust me its the best and only way it should b done :domokun:

Oh will have to try that one next time. As for the tyre shine, it still looks great now after driving around for the night so maybe its just with different tyre shines. I only used a fairly no name brand one? And not the foamy one lol.

    • 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.
