does seem a tad long. mine took about 45mins cos they had to stuff around getting the cat to fit cos it was bent. same catback. you shouldn't have a prob. but they quote that just in cas they cant do it right away or if they have any unforseen probs. always better to do it in less time than you quote than more is their veiw

biggest joke ever. takes me ten minutes tho i have a hoist and power tools.

take whatever the shop wants to charge you to fit it and go to supercheap and buy a jack, 2 stands and some tools.

go home and it will take u an hour if ur slow and its ur first go

id love to have a chat to the guy who quoted you that, see exactly what he thinks takes so long lol

Wot a rip. Took me 30mins to fit without a hoist.. as said above, with powertools and a proper hoist, they'd get it off and on in about 10-15 minutes provided they don't need to weld anything.

2 bolts to undo then slide the rubber out of the hangers, 5 minutes and she is off. same for re-installing it. Ok its exhaust the bolts could rusted so you may have to spend extra time or maybe snap the bolts , its still easy , just use new bolts . Drive in -drive out max 30 minutes, go to any exhaust shop and they will do it for $50-$80, including a new gasket and 2 new bolts .

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
