Hey Guys,

Im am about to get my engine detailed/painted, before i assemble it and was hoping you would have some photos of either your own engine bay or other hot looking ones.

So come on, dont be shy, show us your engine bay so I can get some idea's, because I spent half hour going through the SAU gallery and only found a few average photos.

:D

ive done it, it is an absolute **** of a job and i wish i didnt do it, bleeding hands and all the rest, i did cam covers, timing cover, coilpack cover, top half manifold, pretty much most shit, drop me a pm with your email ill give you more details and stuff, cant post pics coz there too large, i just put a low quality pic in my galleries

Looks good ylwgtr2, is that the factory red colour that GTR's have or custom?

What do you guys reckon, do the rb motors look better with the upper cam/timing cover on or left off, mine is a vvt engine?

Less chance of mincing fingers with it on, but what looks best?

Jolinator, send your pics to my email and ill host them for you.

Anyone else send them as well and ill host them up here.

LOL...i so love thsi pic, ive been posting it up everywhere:)

Im 90% sure the engine is fine, it was a coolant leak out of the heater hose that caused all the fuss....Last i checked, about 15 seconds earlier the water temp was fine, so im not expecting any engine probs.

So no plans other then getting it back on the road...if engine dies, well yeh some things may change, i dunno yet:(

    • 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.
