Hey everyone.

Haven't posted in a while and there has been a fair amount of progress on my little piggy.

So basically bought "what I thought was a bog stock 25". Turned out it pretty much was except for the Exedy brass button clutch. Decided that it wouldn't stand up to the constant abuse from my shit driving so purchased one of these bad boys.

It's an xtreme drift clutch kit minus the flywheel because I wasn't happy with the info that I grabbed from everyone about the lightened flywheel. So decided to get the standard flywheel machined up all nice and pretty. Replaced all exhaust studs, water pump, rear main, both cam seals, crank seal, rocker cover gaskets and washers and put in a gates racing timing belt for an added 37 and a half hp. Everything except the timing belt was genuine and crack priced, but big ups to Steve at Northside Nissan for his help. That guy knows way to much about skyline parts.

Had the rocker covers robo washed by a mate and then gave them a lick of hi temp paint to make them look standard but clean ready for pits and then chucked them on. Came up a treat. Very gingerly placed the exhaust manifold on :| and then on went the standard turbo with all the standard lines apart from the drain which I replaced. Then it was time for the magic to happen. Clutch when on with little to no problems which was great then followed by the box. This is the guy that bought Jimmah's Laurel so I think he is entitled to look a little crazy sometimes.

In went the donk. Went in surprisingly easy and bolted straight up to the 34 cross member.

And as it sits now. It has a new heart, it isn't beating yet but it's in there.

    • 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.
