Hey i've done a search but nothing really specifically helps my problem so i thought i'd ask ! Just today my dashboard lights all stopped working (speedo, petrol etc etc) and when i found out that the switch attached to the black wire that breaks off into 3 red whiles fell off. Is there a way i can fix this ? this is a picture of the switch.

Also, i found that when i accellerate from low gears and low RPM i find that there isnt much power. I've also noticed that my clutch is wearing out. Do you think a new clutch would fix this ? thanks for the help guys !

Reattach the switch... not sure what it's for exactly, but that seems like the obvious starting point?

New clutch would fix the problem of your current one slipping, yes.

Hey thanks for the help but i tried re-attaching each of the 3 red wires to the switch but it doesnt really 'connet' anywhere as it was held on by tape and when i just put the two metal pieces together and turned the switch the dash board light still didnt work. I was wondering if i needed to get a new switch or properly attach it somehow

Turn on your headlights and check if the back light of your car is working. If it is not working together with your dash light, it is a burnt fuse. The fuse is located at the back of your car, just next to the battery compartment. Can't really remember what amperage its on, either a 10A or 15A fuse.

Hope that helps.

      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.
