Hey guys,

Bad news unfortunately.......................motor goneskis :)

Leaned out on me the other night, tried driving it the next day no compression.

Pulled it down, piston cracked, rings melted into the grooves.............bad news.

Sent it to an engine rebuilder. hoping to get it back by friday.

I did it on Monday was out by Monday night.

At the engine rebuilders Tuesday morning, and hes working on it all week.

Updated - He said latest next monday.

He's given me a price. $270.

New piston, ring, top end bearing, honed bore, all gaskets and everythign else required

Cheap as?

I thought it was a good price, but not cheap as.

yeah only one piston.

Steve, I can ask him if you want, but he doesn't have much experience in those motors.

I wont do the standard rebuild, but yeah it cant hurt to know who he is etc, would you mind posting his details? Or PM if thats better for you?

Cheers

yeah, you guys are all massive knuckle heads. didn't the fact that it was a SINGLE piston engine, and had YAMAHA stamped into it give it away? man, i am never letting any of you guys near my car!

    • 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.
