Don't forget the $5k + that you will need to drop on brakes, tyres and suspension'.

But everyone on facebook groups just want loads of power on cheap tyres, stock LSD so they have a reason to whinge about no traction and how when they roll into 3rd their wheels spin.

If you can settle for less power, a low 300kw rb25 is a lot cheaper to build/run reliably than a 400kw one.

You can even skip the whole rebuild the engine drama if you want to (head gasket is probably a good idea along with better valve springs if you are running decent boost), lots of cooling (engine and oil) and stick to e85 or add wmi for safety when going harder on it.


This. Achievable without going e85 ? I think i can live with 270 rwkw :) and a long lasting stock motor!

I can't see why not. My setup was the same (excluding forged internals), it was so long ago, but I think it was about 270-280rwkw with the GT35r on a chinese manifold at about 16psi.

Lasted for 2 or so years before the engine upgrade. I thrashed the crap out of it too, but maintained it very well.

No dramas with the engine itself when my builder stripped it. The only issue we had was a crack in the manifold which was to be honest, expected.

Not to be a dick, but seriously, have a search on this forum. There is so much information at your fingertips. It was a goldmine when I was in your shoes.

Hmm wait. .. Im already at that power goal. I meant to ask if it's possible for the stock motor to last without an internal upgrade at that power level without going e85.


Yes, but e85 makes for a decent amount of extra safety for not a lot of extra effort/cost.

    • 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.
