hey andrew, i've asked around b4 but never got a sure reply - are these baffles only suited to the RB26 sump? i'm thinking probably, as they're diff shape aren't they? - 4WD: front driveshafts going through the sump? if they somehow fit RB RWD sump, let me know :)

mist: I don't think RB20/RB25's really need it... It's more to do with the flatter and longer design of the RB26 sump that houses the front diff that necessitates the addition of these sump baffles for track work... The RB20/RB25's should be fine...

If you really want to fit these (can't hurt really), give John at Unique Auto Sports a call, he built B-Man's motor and he organise a sump upgrade for it and should be able to tell you whether this will fit into the RB20 sump...

YO880: You can do it either of two ways:

1. Lift the car up on a hoist and support the bottom of the engine with a stand. Remove crossmember and bottom of the sump. Drop in Jun Sump Baffles, and put it all back together. $500-750-ish?

2. Remove engine from car and do it on an engine stand. - $1000-$1500

Most people like doing via Method 2 as it's easier, but if you're paying for labour, I suggest getting them to do it via Method 1 as it will be cheaper.

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
