i was sitting at home the other day minding my own business makeing sure the remote control for the tv stayed warm when my long time girlfriend and soon to be wife came home to find me where she left me. she mentioned that i needed a hobby to keep me busy on my days off, using my powers of translation i took this as gospel that if i did not clean out the garage i could stay on the couch just as long as i wanted. you're right darling i will get on to that right now (my show was over anyway). plus it was only a few boxes and she was just getting dinner started. cleaning the garage i soon noticed alot of my old car magazines, an article in one of them had a special on skylines and various modifications you could do, hmmmm i wonder. keeping that mag and chucking the rest i finished the clean up had my dinner and went to my office (dunny).

now i know she told me i needed a hobby, but she didnt say what kind of hobby i should take up....however my powers of translation was telling me that she said 'honey i would really love you even more if you did an engine conversion on your skyline and upped the power lots and lots.'

So the next day i did as i was told, i went to gun performance and paid for an rb30 series two engine and a new ecu, i am still looking for a turbo and better engine internals to cope with the added power but i am sure as a hobby this is what she wanted me to be doing. it should keep my hands busy and out of her hair for a little while anyway.

now all i have to do is figure out how to explain the missing car....

now where was i...oh yeah i wont be needing the whole rb30 series two engine or parts of my rb25 gtst engine so if your interested talk to jason at gun performance his web site is

LOL! Dude, you are either going to get hardcore axed, or live very happily ever after!

Either way, go spend a heap on an R/C helicopter. She'll go nuts running around the house trying to stop you breaking everything with it and won't even notice the car gone!

      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.
