So i got to repair a mates after market wastegate.

The pressure fitting to the top chamber snapped off during shipping, or via his general clumbsiness. That ill never know..

Its a screw in fitting thats sheered off and is now recessed.

Obviously im going to remove it.

Either pick it out or drill it out? Any ideas welcome.

I was also wondering, will 2 part epoxy glue lite araldite do to fasten a new one? Or drill and rethread absotutely nessissary?

Piccies might help as there are few different designs obviously. Internal or external gate? Is it in the actuator or the gate itself?

Does the top chamber come off on the one you have? If so might be easier to dismantle it. Saves metal filings getting into the diaghragm too.

Presumably it wouldn't be stupidly tight so a good easy out might pull it out.

Yeh top chamber pulls apart, the peice left inside looks like its also got adheisive on the treads.

The araldite vs rethread is my main worry.

Doubt ill find one the exact size to reuse the existing thread (if it the tread remains usable after removing the broken peice)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
