Ive been asking alot of questions and believe me I am grateful for all the support.

Well the AC belt in my car has been removed. I wasn't sure why but after close examination it looks like the pulley it was sitting on had broken. and rubbed the guide it sits on. So I pulled the pulley off my car, and also the belt. I noticed when taking it off my car that the power steering belt blocks the way of the AC belt...

It was easy to pull off from my old car because most of the shit obstructing the way is gone and I wasnt too fussed if something came off and wouldnt go back on. Now on the new car, I have no idea how to access it.

Are there any tips or tricks? Any advice? Do I just need to loosen the nut which applies the tension? My deep sockets wont reach it and let me connect the ratchet to twist em and theres no room to get a spanner in there. Do I need a really long deep socket? Argh frustrating fiddly shit.

You need to loosen the tensioner bolt and possible the bolt that goes Through the middle of the tentioner slightly so that it will move easier. As for the not being able to get anything onto the nut have you tried an extention between the socket and ratchet

My experience with the 32 is that it is easiest if you remove the IC piping from around the P/S pump to give clearer access to the adjusting bolt. Wouldn't be surprised if you need to do the same with the 33.

What he means is the holes in the actual pulley where the belt sits on is where you poke your socket through to loosen the pivot bolt. It may be a bit hard to move but at least you now know how to get it.

As for the tensioner, use a spanner.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
