Hi all, just bought a r33 gtst and on the way home I started getting a idle surge hovers around 800-1200 almost stalls sometimes but will regain idle after a few seconds to a min.

Not sure if it has a aftermarket bov that is causing the problem.

Also a rubbery squeaking sound from behind timing cover. Could it be just a tensioner.

Has a gizmo boost controller too wtf how do you work it???

Ok pulled off the AAC valve and it was a bit covered in engine breather gunk.

Took the solinionds off it washed in diesel than cleaned with carby cleaner put back together installed, than went for a drive and it's sweet.

Purrs like a kitten all the time.

Noise behind timing cover has gone but I suspect it's a belt tensioner, geeeeeez $300 for a kit

Seen the gates racing one on eBay a lot cheaper are they a good kit for these engines.

Also noticed a very high pitch squeal from the turbo like a dog whistle, it's only on very light throttle every now and than. Sounds like and old bluebird CA18 turbo sound. Weirdest sounding turbo out there if you ever heard one.

Still hold boost but the pull is not consistent from mid to high revs, only very noticeable. But than again it's got 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 pipe than goes to the rear muffler and reduces to about 2 lol previous owner was defected. Will this all reduce high range power maybe a stupid question to ask.

93 R33 GTS-t do they only come with a tiny front mount?

No need for a racing (blue) belt unless youre pulling mass power, and theyre noisy. Just go genuine Nissan.

Should be a tiny side mount.

    • 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.
