Water pumps can go anytime you can get one that last you a year or maybe 10 years its wear and tare,

But all good brang it to my Mech's all fixed already lol Faster than i thought it would be!!! Lets hope nothing else goes

!!

lol topaz haha ha yes im afraid that always happends

Levient - How much did you pay ??

My Water pump Blew sometime be cheaps to replace it i got my timming belt done aswell so lets hope its not to to much

after my crash - i got the 32 fixed up alll right n tight, bar a few mis matched panels...

drove it to Kermits with PVC piping as the fmic pipe substitute (dont ask - we had no other way to get it there) and he welded the good stuff on

went to pick it up... and finally wanting to hit gate cuz i hadnt heard it in MONTHS and whaddayaknow...

100m down the road, the fan was on the piss and i didnt realize (drove fine off boost), but as soon as i opened him up, it ate through my power steering belt, my NEW radiator, destroyed the water pump itself, and pretty much confirmed that I needed to replace everything it touched...

had to get it towed home again and a few weeks later was fixed... a second time :banana:

Live and learn I guess. Coodoes to kermit for doing a bang up job though, much <3

*edit - got my water pump from nissan on canning hwy - only $120 :bunny:

You should try washing it in the rain!!!! Sounds silly but saves water and apparent stress :P

Try getting caught in the rain while washing your car... Thats just embarrising!! Was nice and clean though... And I skipped the whole drying process

haha we hada landcruiser come into work that had the water pump seperate, fam was part of it to so yeah bye timin cover, fan shroud, radiator- them landy ones aint cheap i tell ya that

My dad's 2000 Mazda Protege was making a weird noise, so we took it to the mechanics. Turned out that the main shaft in the water pump had moved slightly. Got that fixed, picked it up... and left with a job :P Still there actually. I love that car :P

    • 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.
