As i plan to really get to the track more in 2014 and get this nugget sorted so i can learn to drive it, we thought some oil control is in order as we all know RB's need it :P So even though it is still 100% stock motor and headgasket etc it now has a nice shiny sump -

As you can see in the image here the turbo elbow is now on the housing so that should get rid of that issue!

You'll still need to shield that silicon from the heat.

Get them to bend up a bit of heat shieldy stuff, and use some of the mounting points to cover the manifold. Even if you ceramic coat it.

Itll be wrapped and coated etc man! All over it :thumbsup:

Is that sump specially for Neos? I was measuring it up down there and it looked like the sway bar and some hardlines wont clear with the bigger sump.

I'm guessing your putting on a oil drain too behind your head.Going straight to the sump.

nice definitely a good aid to making these engine last a bit longer as stockers

Yep will hopefully prolong the life of the poor engine! Its had a hard life but at 150000km its still copping 25psi and 500+whp no worries... This sump will be able to stay with any engine i put in as it will always stay NEO so its a sound investment considering i want to be doing more track time.

The engine mounts were changed to a Hardrace item. Coolant sensor has been relocated to read correctly. Exhaust manifold has been wrapped & clutch plate was swapped to a solid item.

teh secks!

Still ah mazing it's the stock motor, yet people spend like $5K+ on built motors for the same effect

let's race bitch LOL

I'm waiting for my snail/paper weight to come

Yep, and that is why the build is staying where it is... I am happy with the way it goes (WHEN it fkn goes lol) and the motor seems to be happy enough to handle the given power so why build a motor? And if this motor lets go i will not be changing the plan, ill be finding another low milage donor and going again... I plan to use the car as much as i can and learn to drive it, SMSP South was my first chance and unfortunately a broken engine mount was causing me a lot of issues as you can see a few pages back! BUT sorted now so try again soon....

I got a few gremlins to iron out, but let's hit up wakefield for speed off the streets next year when you're free!

Fingers crossed i have found the last of them!

Will be keen for a few wakie days, just gotta work out time to do them as we are short staffed at work!

Hoping to try the car out locally if i can at SMSP or similar just to MAKE SURE there are no more surprises lol

hope so too!

my car now refuses to make any power past 6k rpm, I can't hear any audible knock or anything.. but being a remapped ECU I can't plug up any software to see what's going on (soon to change once I slap on the new turbo :) )

swapped out the spark plugs last night and was about to go for a drive and realised my fuarking license has been expired for nearly a week!

Come to one of the SMSP twilight track days early next year if you can get a few hours off work. I'm booked in for the 30/1 and the 26/2.

I like the look of that sump, jelly :)

    • 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.
