My A/C clicks too... someone once said that it was on the heaterbox that the problem is. I still get different temps and everything, so I haven't been bothered to look into it. Let me know if you find the source of the cause!

Interesting about the dash plastic... I bought my car with none on it. It's just a really rough texture atm. If I try and clean it with kitchen paper, it shreds it. =-/

I want to paint it, but I CBF pulling the whole thing out and painting it. =-[

I'm suprised yours is rough. When the silicon/rubber comes off it is incredibly smooth and glossy - just balck palstic.

Only did it cause I had all the bits 9/10s out. Should have taken it off to start with - a lot easier getting the stereo in and out..

My ac works fine etc - just thought id ask in case there was a simple fix , while I had things out.

Heh... we don't know! I thought it was normal! =-[

Ben: yeah.. dunno man.. it hasn't been painted before. I think the clear was taken off ages ago, and the sun had its way with it

is it necessary to disconnect the -ve terminal of the battery b4 installation?

Yes, its a very good idea to avoid shorts + sparks while cutting and joining wires.

If you use a 10mm (i think) spanner it'll only take 30 seconds to take it off.

why does your air-con click, mine does the exact same thing and i'm art a aloss as to where to start with it.....

whewn I asked my mech about the air con clicking he said it was just the condenser turing itself on and off...

I just bought this stuff all at Autobarn, mainly because I'm lazy. Its a 2 min walk from where I work!

Wiring Harness (AP7550) - $19.99

Diversity Adaptor (AP348A) - $12.99 ***NOTE*** There is a AP348B, looks similar and costs the same, but not the same part. I made this mistake :)

Facia Kit (FP997417) - $37.99

Not 100% sure if the Facia Kit will work (it should, previous posts said 1995 and older Nissan parts would do... right?), will find out and post it up :O

EDIT - Decided to post up all the prices for all to see, and laugh at how ripped off I may have been :laugh:

great stuff mate very good guide! will be reffering to this again very soon. i already have an aftermarket HU but will be upgrading to a double din 7" screen, so in theory the current loom will hook straight up to my new HU? out with the old in with the new!

Great thread, the only place I found to have the correct wiring harness was Autobahn, Repco was out of stock and Supercheap auto don't have them in any store in Vic for the R33.

It was about $28 for harness and radio connection adapter.

    • 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.
