For just bearings. Parts come to around $275. Labour would be around 6 hours and that would be including full measure of bearings and bottom end but WOULD NOT include R&R of engine.

Having a bearing gone though, I would be investing a few more dollars for security reasons.

ie. Metal particles form the bearings will be floating around your engine so it would be a good idea to get the block cleaned which virtually means head comes off and so-forth.

You should also have your turbo's sent away to be pulled apart, re-sealed, inspected to make sure no metal particles have gone throughthe bearings - I cannot stress this enough. If you have an extra couple hundred then it is very definately worth it.

Full gasket kit goes for around the $500-$600 mark and you might as well do rings while you are there. They will set you back roughly $120-$150 for a decent set. Obviously more labour would be added to the job for doing rings and head gasket.

Around $4000 should do everything on a basic level so she's back to new again.

TIP: If you can remove the engine yourself - do so. You will save a bit of money.

Ask the people doing the job to give you a full itemised breakdown of all the parts and labour. Then go shopping and see if you can buy anything yourself for cheaper.

Try lines like (make up a price that is a bit cheaper) I got quoted X by joe bloggs (who is their competition) You can save a lot of money this way. I have even gone so far as to write down fake quotes on a card that I got from another place to get it cheaper somewhere else. I don't wanna go through the moral issues involved here but it's up to you how you wanna save some money.

Good luck.

PM me if you have any questions or problems.

don't budget for the bare minimum as you WILL get caught out... time after time have we seen engines that have alot more wrong with them then first suspected. Alot of time it's a pandora's box so make sure you have plenty of money for the unexpected....

    • 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
