Aha mark the Valdez holds its oil inside. Your car is more like a Bp oil rig in the gulf of Mexico :P

This is what I'm talking about Willis.

And it was a boat too, just like the 33.

Which is slightly lighter with no carpet and "most" of the deadener removed (note: it take more than 5kg of dry ice pellets to do a 33, 10kg would have been good)

  • 2 weeks later...

how much weight do u think it removed? how loud is it now?

It is a bit louder but I use the nissan floor mats which keeps the noise down a bit, but then I like noisy cars anyway, listening to the fuel pump, clutch, diff, small rocks kicking around inside the guards and stuff is cool.

Weight wise it would be lucky to be 8 kg all up, the heater core leaked so the carpet was kaput so had to come out anyway, the deadener I removed was more for something to do experiment/ fun/bored wise.

If I can get the car going without spitting oil Im going to strip out as much as I can, Ill still be keeping the A/C though.

The AC and all the fan shit is probably the heaviest stuff you can take out... LOL

Your other major weight area is to re-wire the whole freaking car.

Otherwise... Don't bother really.

    • 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.
