Ol_mate, you're a legend.

I don't know why the guy at my Pirtek store wouldn't think of that. If he had, i might've been able to put it on today.

Damn it !

Thanks everyone!

I've just got tate freeeeegan bolt out (2:15pm!!)

Removed both heater hoses, moved the valley outta the way and still had heaps of probs.

Now having trouble pinching the clamp and pulling on that hose..haha

It never ends !

Jase mate, have you got it yet?

What are you using to get the hose clamp? long needle nose pliers - supercheap auto sell them for like $7.

I went down to visit my car to do a few small things today, and I thought just for the fun of it I'd stick my hand around the back just to remind myself of how hard it is. Didn't have any problems?

Have a look at this pic. See how it goes around the block?

Can you get the other side of the pipe?

The hose clamp isn't too hard to get to, still fiddley though.

It's the second mounting bracket which was near impossible to get.

Can't see, can only JUST feal it.

I had my right hand shoved in from the turbo side and that hand felt the bolt and guiding the spanner to it which was in my left hand coming straight down from the top thru the 'vally'

If you has no problems, you must be forgetting this bolt.

The first one on the corner is a piece of P to get off.

The second nearly sent me to the mental hospital and it will NOT be going back on.

:laugh:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
