Re: Feedback on this kit

I've installed this kit (with the blue piping) on my R33, overall i'm pretty happy with it (for the given price). AFAIK quality of both cooler and piping is excellent, and i have no qualms in offering my recommendation.

A few points

- Timewise, it was about 6 hours to complete.

- You seem to have to cut a significant amount of the fan blades off (definately my biggest concern)

- The R33 SII did not require any cutting or bending of the chassis rails as per the install guide.

- Cutting the hole under the washer bottle is fairly simple, as the metal is thinner than i would have expected and there is plenty of room to move in there with the front bar and inner guard plastic off.

- The cooler fit into existing bolt holes as solid and precise.

- The 2.5" hose clamps are a bastard to work with, i actually resorted to using to original ones off the stock piping

- Bit of a bummer is the std airbox snorkel section no longer fits on past the return pipe, so i have to work out something for that part, probably a cold air feed of some description.

- There is no nipple on the return pipe that u can attach a vacuum tube from to go to the boost control solenoid. That is why the red tube is supplied, to pick up vacuum from another source. I got a brass nipple from auto pro and bolted it into the return pipe basically so i could ensure that i was getting the correct boost "signal" for the boost control/wastegate actuator. Works well no detectable leaks...

All up, i'm pretty happy with the kit especially for that price.

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

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      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?
