Hey guys,

few weeks ago when i parked the car after a 30min or so drive i could hear boiling from the front of the car. Popped the hood and sure enough it was the cooling system, reserve tank was empty but radiator was full, also temp was normal as far as the gauge indicated.

Needless to say the next day i booked in my car, they pressure tested and it passed with flying colours...no leaks, hoses intact etc. Topped up with 1lt of the genuine nissan coolant and all good, no issues as far as boiling or other, but i inspected under the hood again this morn and the reserve tank is almost empty again. Is this normal? Anyone else experienced this?

Is that just a case of starting the car with radiator cap off and letting it reach operating temp?

Nope, the car should have a "bleed nipple" located at the high point of the cooling system, which you can crack and allow any air to escape.

Only time that ever happens to me is when I flush my cooling system and add new coolant. After half an hour or so of driving the reservoir tank depletes because I always thought the system self-bleeds as there is a small vent on top of my tank. I just top it up to max once this happens and the coolant stays full until the next time I'm ready to flush the entire system again.

      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.
