Thanks mate, I'll give it a go when I service my car in the coming week. Going to do a compression test at the same time.

Although... I don't understand how you have done it. Surely all you need is to remove the intake pipe to the turbo. Block the turbo inlet with PVC end pipe, and pump air into there? So everything works exactly how it would if the car was running?

The problem with only blocking the inlet of the turbo will cause the air to go back out of the blow off valve.

another way would be to block it at the turbo then block it on a rubber joiner before the cast aluminum 90 deg bend that runs to the throttle body. which will stop the waste gate from leaking back to after the AFM.

So just block the bov? If I block anything off before the manifold, would that not exclude a large section from the test? I thought the ideal way to test it would be to leave as much connected as possible so that it tests how things would be working while the car was running...

regarding whoever said wouldnt a leak cause it to run rich, you you had the car tuned with the leak then they would obviously tune it out so this is still plausible.

That's... Exactly what I said. lol :P

Ok, didn't see the point of starting another thread so I'll just post in here.

Did a compression test on my motor yesterday, came up with 180psi across all 6 cylinders with 1 or 2 psi difference at most. So I know thats good because they are consistent, can anyone tell me what the numbers are supposed to be??

Secondly, I did a boost leak test a well, dead quiet. So no boost leaks.

Any other ideas? I'll try getting the car on another dyno to compare, but ive had it on other dynos before and got similar results to Hyperdrives.

I've been boost leak testing my car today, and also couldnt hear a leak, but spraying some soapy water around i found 3 seperate small leaks at places where hoses join

Yeh I've tried that.

Have you checked your cam timing? Belt stretched? Belt skipped? Vct working?

Belts are all new, they were replaced when the engine went in. VCT works fine.

    • 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.
