IAC motor line and MAP line both run, cooler pipes refitted, filled with oil and water, primed, got oil pressure, stopped a water leak (tiny) and all ready to fire it up just as soon as the laptop makes it to the shop.

Woohoo!

about time, they say Rome wasnt built in a day but this was ridiculous...

Shit mechanics...

Is it running yet?

That's a negative, Charlie. Making a timing pointer today and throwing some settings in the Autronic then it's fire-up. This afternoon if everything goes to plan and Stuart stays at the shop after 5pm for me.

yes, its alive, and has had its maiden voyage around the block. all looks really good, no major leaks, cooling system bled, cams run in, fans cycling in and out, base timing set, fuel pressure set, needs a good cleaning up of the tune as it is fat but good enough to move around.

Just got back from the workshop and I haven't stopped grinning like some sort of deranged psycho! Stuie and the boys at Bezerkly put in the big yards to get this finished and I can't thank them enough (although I reckon the cold ones helped :domokun:)

The interest shown in this project has surprised me but I reckon it's because so many Skyline owners have 25's under the bonnet and want to see what can be achieved with a relatively small turbo/cams/basic setup. And despite the fancy oil pumps and stuff that are only there to keep it together when it's having it's arse spanked, there's not too much in the way of exotic parts being used here. Just a solid engine build and some switched on people.

Uploading some phone-quality video now but to be honest, it's a bit rubbish. It certainly sounds different than the last time I heard it run although the microphone on the phone doesn't do it justice.

    • 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
