Hey guys,

I want to start my 2530 build next year and was wondering if any if you had good bad or indifferent experiences with engine builders in brissy.

I want a very well built 2530 with all the oiling mods so it's a very reliable 500kw or so for drag use.

A mate of mine went to Godzilla and said they told him the don't specialise in hybrids. I was thinking them but now not sure?

Mercury? Spot on? Any suggestions.

i am getting chilton engineering to do all my machine work, as that who erd recommended me to use as they did all the machine work for all engines that dan built.

what work you having done? forged or cast pistons? what clearances are the piston to bore are you going for?

Did they have much to say about the process they use etc?

Dan owned erd, many say he is one of the best engine builders around.

Dan is assembling my rb30 25. Forged piston with upgraded pins, spool rods, he is building it to be able to handle 800rwhp.

Chilton is doing all the prep and machining.

its funny cause I went to Chilton engineering about my leaking manifold issues and showed him the manifold, he tested it with his straight edge and said not to bother machining it cause its hardly anything and it would be fine, but obviously it wasn't.. really loosing faith in these engineering places..

    • 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
