It's a bit of a mission to rip all the lines and the solenoid out, I put a lockbar in and then waited until I next had the engine out to remove the rest of the crap.

I got my lockbar off a trader over east (NYTSKY).

pfftt, did mine with the motor in dont be weak. I know i did it when the rear cradle came out so cant remember how hard it will be with it in.

Rear cradle in or out make no difference to complexity. It's the solenoid under the plenum and the lines across the front crossmember and the cooler line that runs across the radiator support that present the problem.

I must say, it's a lot easier to change oil filters with the solenoid gone :P

I also ran an oil cooler in line with mine after i pulled the hicas out, there was another trader selling lockbars to but i havent seen him around for ages.

Once you pull the hicas out use the steel lines as "upgraded" fuel lines, they are 1/2in i'm pretty sure

Yeah i'm definitely not going to the amount of effort as taking all the tubing out.

Bare minimum is what I'm prepared to put in, the lines can stay, they won't be harming anyone.

Need to replace the front drivers side tie-rod end at the same time though, what is doing one of them like? No experience in suspension unfortunately.

Haven't had much of a chance to drive her around in the dry yet, but the other night I did and boy is the back end slippery on boost.

270hp really creeps up on you good when you are used to an auto ford BA :P

i fit mine next to the drivers side head light, but then again i had no air con core either. I miss that POS. :(

Worst comes to worst I'll mount the p/s and oil cooler at the top in front of the radiator but was trying to keep that path clear. With the GTR cooler setup behind a stock type-m front bar, doesn't leave a lot of room for anything!

But really I'm not phased at the moment, it's only going to be a daily until I get a gearbox for the wagon.

another trick i have seen (as it is not a super critical thing) is the cooler mounted at the base of the rad with a small scoop picking up air from underneath.

If you were looking between the rad and motor you would see it sitting horizontaly below, bit hard to explain.

That is one of the potential locations :thumbsup: another is in between radiator and cooler (directly above bov return pipe), right down the bottom with a long narrow core, something like this should more than suffice.. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-13210/?rtype=10

What turbo is it? Looks like a highflow?!?

It's the highflow off the wagon but freshly rebuilt by Grant at Per4manz (he built it originally), reckons it's good for 24psi and 400rwhp but I'll probably only wind 15psi into it until I get a new gearbox for the wagon.

      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.
