so i went down to advan and asked for a quote to do an rb30det for me they said 5450 dollars and thats if i provide pistons, the block, all gaskets, oil pump, rod bolts they also said that they'd have to do some work on the head which they will provide all the parts for.

is this expensive? or not? is there somewhere with the same quality of work only say a grand cheaper lol 5450 is a bit over board if i can save a grand and put that towards a new turbo or something would be nice.

Any advice, contacts or workshops given will be greatly appreciated!

5.5k sounds about right.

Take off a grand for enine in/out and 4.5k sounds pretty much spot on the money. Maybe a little high. But not really anything i would question.

Rod bolts/oil pump isnt that expensive, and im sure if you asked them to source pistons they would.

Good work costs money.

I've learnt the hard way many times, you try and cut $500 here, $500 there with people who might have some expirience, but its far better to pay people that know the most.

whats enine? hmm yeah your right, just sometimes they are very expensive to deal with and almost always the quote is about a grand less than what it ends up lol

    • 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
