Hello i have a 1994 r33 gtst and am only very new to cars in general! i got my license only a couple of months ago!

My problem is that other than first gear if i put my foot down a little heavy it feels like the gears dis-engage, and the revs go up like in neutral but the car isnt going anywhere! it doesnt happen when i have low revs! it feels like its slipping.

What does this mean? do i need a new clutch or just maintenance? if so how much would it cost?

-Thanks

It is slipping. There are a couple of things it could be. You mention a 'new one', are you refering to having already had to replace the clutch? If you haven't replaced the clutch then it's either the clutch assembly or the hydraulic system which operates the clutch assembly. I replaced my clutch only to learn it was the hydraulic system at fault, an expensive exercise. More details about the car would help.

Well ok has it been doing this since you bought the car? Have you checked the fluid levels on the clutch master? With no futher information it is either the clutch or the hydraulic system. Not sure I can be of any more help.. take it to a workshop?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      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?

      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:

      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.
