just ask any workshop near your area, its not hard all mechanics will be able to do it as good as each other..

or even better, buy a compression tester ($50) and do it yourself or with some help.. a leakdown test shouldnt be really necessary unless the compression test comes out bad.

is there something wrong with the motor?

You should be able to do the compression test at least by yourself morgs. It's easy to do. would only take about 15 minutes on a 26. You can just use one of those pressure thingies you use to determine the tyre pressure. they fit in nicely.

Leakdown test is the one I'm after - and I don't have access to the right size compressor nor a leak down tester currently in my possesion and I'm running out of time and unable to run around chasing these items.

I've comp tested before, thats easy enough - but I'm not happy enough just to do that this time, want something more comprehensive :O

Would prefer to take it somewhere that has had experience with these motors than a local mech, I've already been knocked back once because one shop didn't want to do it :)

Southside (SSPI) at Kirrawee have a leak down tester also. Charged me $80 for comp + leak down test.

Speak to Chris - 02 9542 4280

They do a lot of work on R32 GTR's and lots for SAU guys. Chris is a great bloke and knows his stuff. Same rule applies here for Saturday work (happy to do so but best to ring ahead).

      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.
