Since my R33 is my daily, its done quite a few miles; unfortunately my clutch has worn out as a consequence :/

Ive had a little trouble looking for a replacement clutch

so i was wondering if any one knows if a RB20DE clutch is the same as the RB20E

I figure only the top end of the engines and the internals would be different, but then again i can be sure.

Cheers

Probably try a nissan dealership - best buy a stock clutch, at least the part will be guaranteed to be correct.

off topic - wow an RB20E - how's the economy? Wouldn't be difficult to drive ie. rather slow.

The 20e is not to bad on fuel I can usually squeeze 500 out if a tank before I get the fuel light.

As for performance, its a pain in the a**. Pritty gutless, but since I'm on my P's I can't drive a turbo so I'm putting up with it untill I get my fulls and get a real skyline haha.

What do you mean a 'real skyline'. So what if yours is NA its still a skyline.

In fact i'm sick of people hanging shit on NA Skylines all together.

Sure performance wise the NA's have nothing, but congratulations, you can get to the speed limit a second faster than me. Good Work :/

Not only that but NA Skylines are alot rarer than your run of the mill GTST.

I don't think ill ever turbo my Skyline (R32 GTS) purely for the fact of these cars are getting rarer to find, mainly as they are getting either written off by some wanker doin' fully hectic skids, or majority of people turbo them.

Thats my 2c worth anyway. Be proud of your NA. I know i am.

Don't get me wrong mate I love my car but as you said it's the peope that hang shit on them that get you thinking.

Especially when you own one running a 20e makes it just that little bit harder to find parts for.

I don't think I'll be letting go of my gts (all that first car stuff) I'd be buying a second car.

But I can see where your coming from I spose they are going to become more rare especially one has been looked after.

      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.
