Well i finally got motivated and found my leak, i'll do a walkthough for those of you with the same problem - its caused by some an old rubber seal that seals no more

step 1 - remove your wipers, 1 x 14mm bolt on each wiper arm then wiggle (probably with the bonnet down and wipers up so the spring doesn't push anything

step 2 - flick out the 3 plastic plugs recessed into the plastic panel under the wipers

step 3 - pull the rubber seal off that runs across the back of the engine bay, tool of choice would be the needle nosed pliers with a bend in them as the rubber is held in with clips that can be pried off but can also be squeezed from underneath (that way they don't break)

step 4 - pull the plastic panel out to reveal your wiper mechanism and the base of the windscreen, you can now access the offending part

Here it is: post-51118-0-57492400-1300511074_thumb.jpg

pull it out and it doesn't look so good underneath post-51118-0-74513300-1300511030_thumb.jpg

the rubber has perished pinch.gif

clean everything up and apply some gasket goo

reinstall and reassemble and hope its all good cheers.gif

I de-greased and wd40'd my wiper linkages, now my aircon smells like wd40 -> a word of warning if you are thinking about going nuts with the wd40

    • 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.
