When you do your rocker cover gasket, just ensure everything is scrupulously clean and dry.

Clean the groove that the seal sits in with thinners or similar, and same with the sealing surface on the head. I'm assuming the seal may sometimes drop out of the groove as you are placing the cover back in position and not be noticed; the less slippery everything is, the less chance of it happening.

Hey guys,

Well today Jetwreck came down from Sydney and helped (ie: did most of everything) with the turbo removal.

Let me just say - engine out would be so much easier... It took us a solid 7 hours.

Anyway, it appears there was an oil starvation issue to the turbo, which doesn't have much shaft play at all but the bearing is definitely shagged. Interestingly though, all the ceramic vanes are still attached.

So turbo is off to Hypergear for a rebuild and I'll be doing the roacker cover gasket while that's happening.

On another note, I have an aftermarket atmo venting Blitz BOV on the car. I hate the sound and attention so if anyone has a spare working factory BOV I will gladly straight swap with you provided you have the piping to the hard pipe at the front of the engine as well. Let me know if you want a BOV!

Cheers,

Sean

Heatshields were not really the problem....problem was 2 of the bolts on the dump would not crack...oh and one bolt on the heatshield.....everything else went along pretty well.

and I am pretty sure one of the heatshields wont be going on.

are you gonne use new studs??

i honestly reccomend it.. I used SS studs with copper washers.. they dont bind up together at all, but they're not hard to get off either for future reference...

worth the money

Aaron this will be up to the owner of the car....while I agree with you I doubt the turbo will be taken off again as he is getting his turbo done by Hypergear not some cheap dodgy guy! whistling.gif

      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.
