For those of you who know me I thought that I would start a little thread on the "re-build" of the Silver R32 Gtst that we know and love (well I know I do)...

As you may know, my R32 has been around for a while (since selling my R31) and has gradually undergone just about every bolt on enhancement that you can get... But it all came to a sticky end on June 21st of this year when we went to Wakefield Park.

I somehow managed to pop a less than 2 year old Garrett GT30/71R turbo, break an Xtreme clutches ceramic button clutch, badly damage the flywheel and destroy the water pump all in one lap!! (It must have been Reece's fault cos he was riding shotgun when it happened).

Anywho... I have a new Exedy clutch, machined flywheel, genuine Nissan water pump and best of all a brand new Garret GT30/76R turbo!! :(

For your enjoyment I will be adding updates as the rebuild progresses :)

Cheers

Mick

I bolted the new turbo up to the manifold last night... Its a very snug fit! I may need to install an engine damper to reduce engine movement because the wastegate actuator is VERY close to the strut tower! :(

This is a comparison between the old GT30/71 and the new 30/76 (its definitely bigger!).

Can you take me for a spin when it's up and running plz?. Considering which turbo I should get, would like to see how yours performs.

Certainly can Chris, when its all finished and tuned Im hoping to make 250 - 260rwkw I dont want to push the engine to hard (standard internals).

what a nugget

Mini Twoogle? :(

    • 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.
