i think you are supposed to disconnect the tps and idle valve, set the idle speed to spec then check the timing

tps disconnected stops the timing shifting around

or you can do it from a pc if you have a nistune cable and the right software

Oh. I just had the laptop on and matched the timing mark to what the screen said. 15degrees. The mark was moving with the display when it fluctuated so I'm guessing it should be close.

sadly if it is the sump seal the engine would need to come out so yeah thats not gonna happen, i cant handle that nightmare again.

Think of it as long term investment, do the hard yards now, when u have a child running around you will appreciate it I reckon...

Pretty impressed you've gone through with this build this far.

Same, good learning experience taking engines out, building them etc.

Does kind of drive home the point about do it once do it properly and paying someone for a top notch block all assembled though when things go wrong.

Anyway I hope it works out for you, worst case you will be far more knowledgeable than when you started. I know taking engines out and playing mechanic was a great learning experience for myself.

ok it definitely is the front main seal, there is a splatter around the balancer and i don't think the sump is squirting so yeah.

so yay i get to pull my belts off and my covers off and my balancer off and my oil pump off and timing belt off and then re do them all :(

    • 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.
