Minor update,

Cam gears, valve springs and retainers have been fitted. smile.gif

Had a couple of minor issues where the shim somehow popped out of the retainer bucket. I'm not sure whether it was due to poor lighting and upon installation the shim fell out or whether it popped out as i started it.

I think the first one is the more likely explanation.

Anyways all sorted now.

I have to say though the springs and retainers have made the world of difference, it no longer gets any valve train noise around 8K + It sounds smooth throughout the whole range.

I may be changing my direction slightly on the intake though, so stay tuned. :P

Yeah boi.

Well not much of an update, but i decided to paint my rocker cover in crinkle coat black. What's your thoughts?

I ended up putting it in the BBQ at 90* for about 15 - 20 minutes to tighten the crinkles up.

Thanks alot guys. It won't be done quickly as there is still a bit of fabrication work to be done. But that cant be done until I know the spacing of the ITB's.

I should receive my adapter plate and fuel rail soon enough.

    • 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.
