Stabiliser?

I'm a noob so bear with me. A guy I'm about to buy a car off says the stabiliser needs to be replaced, his best explanation was that "when you turn the key, electrics go through this thing" and that if you drive the car for like an hour, the engine might stop and you might not be able to start it again. He said it's below the airbox and it's like a fuse type thing ... the airbox is standard and the car is a 33 GTS-T ... what he's saying makes no sense whatsoever to me?

ANY help would be really appreciated thanks!

ships have to replace 'stabilisers' all the time - after hitting sunfish, coral reefs and such

He's having a lend of you right?

It's not one of these skyhooks jokes is it... or L-handed screwdrivers... perhaps, a polariser?

A fuse-type-thing (that the guy & you mentioned) would have a wire

The Airflow Meter has a wire

This often plays up and will need to be replaced or very carefully cleaned

Got a pic?

Even if it is the AFM, and needs to be replaced/cleaned, it's essential that you don't get gunk on it in the future eg. oil that's sprayed on pods

There are topics on this via 'Search'

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      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.
