The green one!

Nah... anything decent-brand with corrosion inhibitor. You probably don't need anything with antifreeze, which narrows it down a bit.

Castrol, Nulon etc... If you're doing a complete flush, you shouldn't need to worry about mixing different brands, and you can start with almost anything you like. (and you'll know what you can top it up with after that)

i heard to only use genuine Nissan coolant also by mechanic. i never was told why the other brands like castrol etc are no good and If they would or wouldn't cause damage??? its interesting because iv always used non genuine coolants in all my other cars and hadn't had a problem.... are the skylines different or more sensitive?

Contact James. I got the upper and lower rad hoses for about $60

Nothing wrong with the Nulon green stuff. I get the concentrate 5L for about $35.

If you want to be anal you can get distilled water. I just use tap water and do roughly 40% coolant to 60% water.

I have used it in all of my cars to date, even my dedicated drift car which gets a thorough workout to say the least. Never had a drama. Not much less than the nissan coolant though, so i spose if your a bit anal about your car maybe its worth a shot

There's 15 is there?!! - Is that including power steer etc? I did all the coolant hoses on a rav4 recently. I think there was about 5 hoses all up.

Maybe some of the smaller hoses you can just use standard hose and cable tie it to rigid parts to give it the shape. I didn't think there were that many in the R33

I got all the rav4 hoses for about $70 or $80. Check

    • 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
