lol. nice experience .. if i got cash in my pocket,i will mark around with there rb30 or 25 or 20s to build up a monster. forget about sr20s. . . lol

skyline is the best. even through i broke 3 already. ~ :)

thanks man,but this engine is pretty clean and got a rb25 turbo on it, i will think about upgrade to rb25, but what the difference between rb20 and rb25? is it larger means better? thanks. :no:

Thats an RB20 turbo.

So that means that an "RB25 turbo" is not a reason you have to stay with an RB20 :D

Unless your not talking about this engine :laugh:

never got a chance to know this turbo is rb20 or 25, i just been told it's rb25's turbo by the guy that sold the car to me, sorry for my ignorance. :/ otherwise would beat him down..

Edited by vcool

still, chase after him and beat him down

theres nothing like the satisfaction of beating someone who has done the dodgy on u

there are soooooo many diff things u can do man, just go with what ur heart and wallet says

(a rb30/25 would be cool, but maybe u can only afford a rb20, u no what i mean)

I vote to throw another cheap rb20 in.

Strip the bits off yours than you can. erm.. that would be only the oil pump, maybe the cams if they are not damaged. :(

Rip the cams out, be sure to follow the engine manual as how to do it.. What would you want for them? I'll send them off to get tested to make sure they are straight, I have a use for them.

Yep, remove them nice and careful, caus it's not a nice sound when u hear one go 'crack' :P

P.S andy (bunta on these forums) may have a complete RB25 for sale, chuck him a PM and ask :(

as i originally posted 3 days ago, lots of people have read my story, this is my last post before i end up with a final decision, your help is appreciated, thanks.

as i have no mechanic beckground, need some key words for parts searching and any relevant infor (like what needs to be changed or whats not),thanks heaps.

Hi mate , this is what you call dropping valves. Looks as though you are up for one piston , maybe a conrod if it has distorted , a set of mains and big end bearings because you will have the crank out, a quick crank polish and measure , if bore is lightly damaged a light hone or a bore out and then you will be up for a set of pistons and expensive machine work of boring all 6 cylinders. New gasket set complete .The head needs 4 new valves, guide work( i am not familiar with this engine so I do not know if head has guides.If so you might get away with slipping 4 new ones in. If you have not then head will be machined to accept guides. I could go on more but when you start something like this the more you go into it the more there is to fix if you want it done properly .Most important with this repair is to fix the CAUSE.

IM a mechanic with no Skyline experience but this engine works exactly the same as whats in Cat dump truck to Porsche 930. I hope I could help with some of the jargon.

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
