Good saving Dan.

Just of note:

I didn't bother with the bolts and idlers after trying to order through Nissan (they required chassis no. etc). Spoke to their mechanics and parts people - they said they never bother replacing if they look in good condition. You can see if the thread looks bad. Unless they come loose then they shouldn't be subject to load anywhere near there tensile or endurance limit.

They have failed in the past. Bl4ck32's went soon after the cam belt was replaced, the bolt simply sheared off. Maybe it was overtightened... who knows. :)

Go to a different nissan that deals with the imports regulary, here in Adelaide both Main North and Grand Nissan rarely require chassis numbers.

Ben the thread can look just fine, but won't reveal if a fatigue failure is propogating.

Just go to an engineering materials supplier and tell them you need a high grade item of 8.8 minimum and take the old ones as samples.

process for removing the stud from the block ..

anyone got a nice easy way to do it ?

Well i welded a bolt onto it and then used a wrench, but that's mainly cause i snapped the threaded bit on the end off, whoops.

Other option is two bolts, screw them both and and lock them together then do as above.

Also multigrips work sometimes

Replaced both with bolts, best place i found was a local that deals with truck and tractor spares, plenty of high grade bolts!

sweet, thought o the welding option, wanted to see if there was an easier way ..

Quick question about the same thing... Just called:

Bearing Industries

Seven Hills Rd (cnr Station Rd) Seven Hills 2147

(02) 9674 4322

And and Idler and Tensioner is going to cost me $101.20 incl GST and freight. The catch is they only post through Aust Post, which means it is going to take a week to get here (Darwin) and my engine is going to be put back in the car Monday week. Is the Idler, Tensioner and Gates Belt one of the last things to go onto the engine?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this gear up here sooner???

LOL @ Darwin shipping. Lived there a couple of years and always got the week to 6 weeks line on delivery from down south. :yes:

Funny that overnight is still overnight though......although I've had a lock bar take 2 weeks 40 km across Melbourne.

Troy, aren't all RB tensioners and idlers the same?

Want able to confirm it. So needing the car back on the road and runnign ASAP for the rally i just got one thru Nissan...only to run out of time and didnt change them...so they sit in a box. So will compare, anyone want to pay me $220 for mine before i check? ;)

    • 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.
