The photos below are exactly how the car was purchased by my sister inlaw mid 2006 (minus the chrome tint) from a guy up in Quinn Rocks, the story goes that when he had it he was running nitrous, he blew it up so had the engine rebuilt by a shop in malaga that isnt operating anymore but apparently the engine builder now works at Chris Mills Performance?

Anyways, he was moving house and promised he would send the receipts to show that the engine was re-built with a forged bottom end and all the other bits n pieces but ofcourse nothing came. Ive now since purchased this car from my sister in law and now im looking at selling it, but before i advertise that it has a forged bottom end ill need to confirm it so before i pull down the engine to see what it has i would like to know if anyone recognises this car and can confirm or deny its history saving me the time n money to pull the engine down.

cheers,

Gonz.

The cars name is David. He used to hang out at the local pub in Joondalup. That was until the police moved him on.

Last I heard he was turning tricks down by the old barn that burnt down in 62.

Seriously though, just call Chris Mills and see if the engine builder remembers it, or has the number of someone who kept all the company receipts.

i think if i can I.D the pistons with a bore-a-scope ill do that but if i was to sell the car i would need solid proof that the engine is forged!!

    • 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.
