Hks Gt-ii Wastegate Question

Hey guys,

I picked myself up a used HKS 60mm GT-II wastegate. Problem is it came without an instruction manual. Im trying to work out how to use the special tools that come with the gate to safely and securely put the gate back together with the new springs in it.

Its got a threaded rod with a keyway with a female thread in the end which I assume screws down onto the end of the valve stem, but from there i cant see how to use the nut with the keyway or anything. If someone has an instruction manual lying around they could scan, or a quick rundown how to get this damn thing back together, it'd be great.

Cheers! :O

Hey man,

VERY nice gate, had a deposit on one a few months ago.

Pictures tell a 1000 but.

I'm assuming you received it with the top hat already off, otherwise you would have mentioned the TWANG when it flew off - lol.

As the springs in there have an amount of preload, you can use a vice with soft jaws to clamp the hat on, then just bolt it all up; following normal "criss cross" patterns and multiple stages of tourqing. Be careful not to pinch the diaphragm. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable with HKS gates can help.

Hope this helps

Yeah it is an awesome gate. And yep, it did make a nice TWANG as the top flew up in the air about 5m. Just to confirm, I have this gate: http://hksusa.com/images_products/2067.jpg

Nice idea about the vice. I have a press so I think ill use that instead. Im just curious as to how the special tools that come with it work. You can see in the pic there is the rod with a keyway, a nut, and a 10mm length of tube.

      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.
