ok guys, i need a hand with this.

as some of you know, ive got a coolant leak for somewhere around my turbo, which i noticed while backing out of my driveway about half an hour ago, is getting worse.

so im pulling apart that side of my engine, but i still think im gonna need a hand with a few things, so anyone out north with some level of mechanical knowledge (*looks at dale*), if you reckon you could help me out, that would be beyond awesome.

i wanna get this fixed before saturday or else ill have to sell my dyno spot, miss out on an awesome day out, and not go to the drifts, fail.

so yeah, would be hugely appreciated, will pay with reach arounds or whatever tickles your fancy if you wish. :)

you can find me on 0408961657

cheers.

out in craigmore mate. im sorta poking around blind in the engine bay, cant really say i know what im doing, so having some who knows whats what lending a hand would make it infinitely easier.

think ive found the culprit. couldnt see shit from up top, so i used my uber dodgy jack and had a look underneath, found this f**ker;

gonna pull it off and see whats what... bit late though, everywhere that sells rubber lines like that are closed... :down:

a hoise at my disposal would be freaking sweet right about now.

Title should be "Scandy needs a Handy "

fark man, i wouldnt say no to one of those eiter. :P

welp, wrong again.

put everything back together, started her up, and had a look where i thought it was leaking. the line itself has a hole in it. 200's out of action til i can get that swapped. :P

yeah, im still pretty pissed off though. really want to get down to the dyno day. meh. spose ill just take to morpowa whens its all fixed. it couldnt just be a simple f**king fix though. gah.

SHE LIVES!!!

got home about an hour ago, to find that my dad had infact swapped the coolant feed line, topped up the cooling system, and refitted all the heatshields.

so i refitted the inlet pipe, airbox, hot pipe (which i removed twice again because id forgotten something), refitted the little boost controller dohicky whatsit, macguyver'd a couple hous clamps, crossed my fingers, and started her up.

no leaks, no strange noise (aside from the usual sr noises :down:), and yeah, beauty. so stoked. fairly sure im gonna be doing the dishes for the next month though, lol. its a bit ghetto at the moment, doesnt have the stone tray fitted, and the outlet snout on the turbo hasnt been torqued up, but shes running and not leaking. so im happy.

    • 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
