Hi all, I keep finding more and more things to change when doing a clutch change but my mechanic didn't tell me there were other things that could be changed so wanted to check if I got my list right (let me know if anything is missing):

Full clutch kit that comes with all the components

rear main seal (might as well while its out)

clutch fork

input shaft oil seal

Fly wheel remachined

front and rear input shaft bearing (worth changing?)

 

 

Yeah no pivot ball for the pull type. I went through the same process last year:

 

In the end I just ended up getting the spigot bush and clutch fork. The fork not really being needed as it's solid but thought what the heck and did it anyway. Flywheel came with the clutch. There's also the little rubber dust cover that goes on outside. Which in the end also came with the clutch.

I hope you are getting a good clutch. It makes all the difference for actually enjoying to drive the car :)

Yeah will be a basic exedy heavy duty clutch. Do you know if its worth replacing the input and output shaft bearing? I'm guessing they are behind the input shaft itself before the 4 bolts?

I can't see spigot bush on your list, it is worth always changing that when you do the clutch

That will come in the clutch kit, that's actually the main thing + clutch, I need to change because I'm getting grinding noise at idle and when accelerating at certain speeds but goes away when the clutch is in.

Do you know if input and out shaft bearing is behind the input shaft or it's deep in the gearbox? Wasn't able to find info on it.

Upgrade anything you need to remove, that could help performance.

 

 

Like the exhaust. While you're there, may as well do the turbo since it touches the exhaust too...

Get the tailshaft double checked too...

They are both in the gearbox.....box out if they need replacing

I know the gearbox needs to be removed, but was wondering if it's right behind the input shaft as the amount in labour will be alot cheaper to replace it, but will be alot more if it's buried all the way in the gearbox.

    • 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
