imagine being bludgeoned with the cam you broke. that would make me lol

still waiting for a quote for the job. the bloke reckons it won't be astronomical, but then, i've never used these guys before, they were just conveniently close to my work

anyone had any experiences with JSA in preston? speifically, anything i should be worried about?

Oh god not pedgman??? My mate bought a car from them which was luckily quite tidy but as far as their machanical work goes i wouldnt really recommend them. They fitted a castor rod to his car and left it a little loose, over time it starting moving. Everyone makes mistakes, but its upto you. I wouldnt recommend them personally.

the mechanic who's working on my car is new to JSA, but seems to have a fair bit of experience with RB series motors in general

they finally got back to me with a quote for $430 today and they reckon it should be right to go by wed or thurs

things he mentioned were wrong:

-cas is stripped

-cam linkage thing is stripped

-timing is out by a brutal amount

-and something else which i didn't listen to because i was trying to get on to bell st from teh calder freeway

i won't be taking my car back there again, purely based on the fact that it took them a week to get me a quote, but at least it's not gonna be a ball breaker to fix

i am somewhat relieved

suddenly i am quite impressed

they did it for under the quoted price, and the mechanic waited around til almost 7pm could pick it up when i finished work

this guy really takes pride in his work. he even left the broken parts in the boot so i could take them back to the bloke who f**ked this all up in the first place. what a legend.

the boss is an ass though, i'll stand by that without question

anyway. i have a working car again. i should go check the events section :)

      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.
