Hi

Just purchased a GTR R33. I was giving it some stick the other day and it backfired and after that it wouldn't idle good, I could not really drive it to move it off the road because it didn't have any power, anyway, I have checked coil packs, spark igniter, AFM's, plugs and still can't find the problem. My next thoughts are, could the timing belt have skipped a tooth, it runs like it is running on 3 or 4 cylinders, while the car is idling, I unpluged coil packs one at a time and found that the front cylinders aren't burning fuel (no difference in idle), it idles with plenty of black smoke (rich) coming from the exhaust and the front cylinders are wet. Has anyone witnessed this or has someone had a car that skipped a tooth on the timing belt? Also, does the RB26 bend valves when timing goes out via a skipped tooth? I have done a compression test on each cylinder with the results of every cylinder being the same PSI whilst cold, it also holds the compression. The cars timing belt was changed at 70,000, it has now got 120,000, it seems legit since I received log books with the car and everything matches.

Any advice would be greatful.

Sounds like a a cooler pipe off has blown off

Well guess what? you were right! took it to Advan Performance Centre in Auburn, they found it straight away, however, all of last week it was at Castle Hill Exhaust/Performance where I had my VE SS worked (332rwkw) on (spent $12,000 on it through them, now sold), it looks like Skylines are beyond them, they had it for 5 days and could not work it out, I even told them to check the cooler pipes, they told me it would'nt be that, plus they left me with a nice dent in the passenger door, "thanks Dave, your an ass", anyway, I want to give the boys at Advan Performance Centre a big thanks, and to Dave at Castle Hill Performance a F$%kyou, all you did is screw me around the whole of last week, telling me you can't find the problem, you don't have time, you are busy, all I can say is, you don't give a shit about existing customers and a nice way to do business, you wont be seeing me again,

    • 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.
