get your compression checked...

My step father just had a problem on his EH with RB30ET in it,

First real drive and it blew the head gasket, once we opened it up it had obviously happened before he got the motor,

All the bore had rust marks on it and starting to pit...

the mechanic was telling him it would be alright because it was only 2 cylinders down and only 15psi...

Also check ur oil, if it's milky ur getting coolant into ur oil...

Cracked radiator?

are you absolutley sure "all" the hoses are new not just the top and bottom radiator hose...there are half a dozen hoses under the plenum / along the firewall which carry coolant, plus the heater box

I would still have a look at all the heater hoses, I had a similar issue once and it turned out to be the water feed hose for the turbo and it didnt leak unless the car was hot,

So after everything has warmed up, have a look under the car and around the engine bay, also turn the heater on and off etc, if all else fails than try as axe s has said and get a comp test done

you can have a blown gasket and not have water in the oil or vice versa. when i had a falcon i blew about 3 head gaskets and each time it was only letting water into the cylinder. never ended up with milky oil.

as for the smoking when cold, if you haven't driven the car all day and start it up in the afternoon will it blow white smoke? if it does then it is the headgasket. this can also make it hard to start sometimes.

also, i would fill up the coolant (making sure to blled it properly) then get the car hot on the spot with some cardboard under the car and look for any signs of water dripping to elimiate the chance of it having a leak somewhere.

found what the problem was ........after i was told to check the water pump ....... i went over it again .... and found a crack in the pump itself so needlessto say it was pouring out and yeah ........ thanks for everyones help muchly apprachted

    • 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.
