hello all,

we're trying to fit an rb30 into an s14 which was previously fitted with an rb20.

rb30 block is using an r32 rb25 head and all of the rb20 accessories.

engine in the car it appears to be sitting proud of the fenders by a good inch or so (or i assume the extra 40ish mm due to the block hight increase).

using an r32 gts-t xmember and mounts.

rb30 oil pan appears to be close to fouling on the swaybar.

any ideas on how to get it to fit without putting a cowl on the hood?

search is a bit slim on this topic.

Mate of myn modified the swaybar to go around the front of the sump, then slotted the mounts to lower it down.

Can get more info off him if needed.

Selby's make a RB swap into S13 swaybar, im about to order one for our race car. (ive used notched sumps of late)

Slot the mounts on the engine (up) and slot the xmember (down) this should give you a full inch.

You will need a fwd facing plenum to do it properly (ie legal clearances) though.

I'm kinda confused guys... Slotting alone wont do anything to where the engine sits will it? You have to use other mounts AND slot for it to sit lower, no?

    • 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.
