Hey guys,

Almost done removing the turbo's of an RB26, done it all myself to this point, proven quite painfull...

Question is, in order to drop the front turbo down, to get access to the lower manifold bolts i need to either move or undo the a/c line.. unless there is another way around this i havn't seen? I've got some pics attached of what it all looks like, any advice on where to move forward would be awesome! Thanks.

is it only that bolt mount fouling? I'm pretty sure it will bend that much easily.

having said that I've never done turbos off a gtr with ac....

Well from what i can tell its only that one, the back of the turbo seems to move fairly freely. It isn't overly flexible, if i undo the main bolt and twist it then it will move but makes some hissing sounds as the gas escapes a little... lol

no just leave it bolted in and lever it out of the way. only needs to move a few mm by the looks of it.

btw don't you have further issues ahead? I'm pretty sure you need to remove rear turbo first or undo the oil and water line from the block (which is a bastard to put back later)

Yep..!! watch that compressor outlet pipe, mine was fragile, .......and needs the crack in it repairing,.... when I can locate someone to do it... without scalping my wallet..!

If only you were an SAU NSW Club Member... You could have had my one for free hs.gif

Get that back turbo out first from underneath - you do not need to slacken off the rear manifold.

The front turbo dump will be restricted by the rear turbo. Once it is out you will be able to play with angles a bit more.

You may first need to slacken off the front manifold (have been told you can do it without which I can believe after finishing the job).

Once I had everything slackened off and the rear turbo out I was able to angle the front turbo down past the AC.

    • 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
