Hey mark I just spoke too uni group the boat got 437kw on 28 psi then the turbo started to produce hot air and also had a few minor petrol leaks which they are fixing then it's going back on the dyno I'll be back in Sydney in one week will msg you when I'm taking it too track

The stock box will take the power as long as you have some mechanical sympathy.

I got the stock box rebuilt and modified but at the drags with sticky tyres and sticky track it started to chew the case hardening of the gears after about a dozen runs, the oil I used was good quality, and I even swapped out the oil and added some modifiers to try and slow the wear but to no avail.

When you are pushing a heap of torque the stock box might be fine for street duties or the occasional squirt , but when it gets leaned on it is found wanting.

Disclaimer: This is from my experience of 2 gearboxes and talking to people at the drags, most overcame the issue by installing a slush box.

Hey mark I got the car back from uni group I took it to the runs but was only allowed to drive it on low boost cause the ethanol was not above 60 so there for didn't call u out I take the car back there on Friday for another dyno session car made 437 kW then turbo max out I got an 11.8 on low boost 21psi after they dyno it on fri then she will be ready for hi boost 28psi I need new mickeys for rear I could not get traction what's so ever I should be going next week if not def following week will let you know when she ready 4 hi boost and come down... Quick question I noticed under hi torque and lots off pressure the engine light flashes on sought of off through the gears only under high revs take off and stuff did you ever notice engine light come on and off at all when u owned....

PowerFC? Engine light flashing is knock indication isn't it? In that case, happening at high load makes sense.

Also, try distributing the full stops in your above post around the post a bit more evenly. Leaving them clumped up together doesn't work. I have a headache after reading it!!

Our shot peening and Isotropic super finishing would help this situation.

I think the engine check light was set up for over boost warning, its been a while and I cannot remember exactly.

I remember the low oil pressure warning light would come on at idle which was fine as it was set fairly high, it is adjustable if you want set it higher or lower.

oh ok no problem I take it to unigroup tomorrow will check with them. I should easily crack a 10 next run.

    • 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.
