Will try that if I still have issues tmrw after the WD40 has penetrated over night. Will also try some heat! The nut I am trying to remove is the 27mm nut holding on the Peking Brake thing

Rear hubs suck so much! Now trying to undo the 27mm but holding the gold parking brake but on. No dice, tried the breaker bar, 1500nm impact wrench, nothing. Hoping a night of wd40 will free it, otherwise maybe heat it?

Got the driveshaft bolts undone fairly easily in the end. Hopefully will be able to get to the hub tmrw once I get some space

God I’m an idiot sometimes.... socket fits on but couldn’t get my ratchet spanner on.... nfi why I didn’t just use my breaker bar!!!! (For the driveshaft bolts)

Damn was hoping there was some magical trick! Will head over to Sydney tools tmrw and grab some long spanners. Have wd40’d tonight so should hopefully help! thanks for the help

That makes sense! I started to think that. Any tips on undoing those damn 14mm drive shaft nuts? They are ridiculously tight!

Hey all! i am trying to remove the 4 19mm bolts that attach the Rear bearing to the rear hub. I have nfi how people do this with the hub attached to the car, all the guides just say move the driveshaft back a bit, but mine doesn’t move any further back and I can’t get a socket on the the bolts as the driveshaft interferes. anyone got any ideas? Any help would be awesome!

Only thing I don’t love is that the oil cooler lines run under the radiator (see last pic above). However it seems to be higher than the tow hook and cross members etc so should be fairly well protected... unless I need to use the tow hook.... might need to install another tow hook somewhere also the lines are beautiful braided lines, but they supply some good quality plastic hose protectors, which I am using

Got a bit more work done tonight, was raining here in Canberra so couldn’t finish the brakes off as they still need some paint. So started work on the oil cooler. The blitz oil cooler kit is really good quality and basically is bolt on so far (had to shave a bracket slightly due to the oil cooler bracket). Otherwise so far so good, just need to tighten it all up and install the sandwich plate after.

Finally started working on the car again! Been slow going as I loved house and had a heap of issues getting my shed setup! But it’s all working now. just installed my whiteline swaybars front and rear (27mm front and 24mm rear) hoping this will fix some of the rollyness in the car also got the alpha omega brake upgrade kit, in the process of painting them up before installation. Added some pictures of them sanded back and one caliper I have finished painting. Hoping to have it all completed next week! Hopefully! Next few weekends will be busy as we are also building a n15 sss pulsar for lemons as a replacement for our current Celica we have been running. Also installed some led rear tail lights, just need to find away to restore the fronts, has a bit of oxidation on them.

It was 100% this. Took me a while to get to it, but pulled it apart and found that the guys who did the alarm used the grommet there and just used masking tape to cover it. Tape loosened and formed a funnel which flowed the water into the cabin. Used some loctite putty thing and sealed it up good!

You and me both! I I've bitten off more than I can chew, will be a month before I get onto it

Yer it's not, 600 is perfect, 660 has a wet boiling point that's a bit too low

Have taken your advice and will relocate! Im going to the wreckers on the weekend to pick up an R33 rear battery tray so it can look all nice and stock

Yer i was running Project Mu HC800 pads but they just were overheating after a few big stops. Was running fresh Motul 600 fluid too. Times on the weekend were terrible though as we had an oil spill on turn one, so couldn't really attack the braking zone there too hard.

Cheers! I'll try that first before the windscreen! Worth trying the cheaper options first!

It was all just black grime there, took me 20 mins to clean it back to this. Will probably sand it back and paint it up later this week

@GTSBoy Ok pulled the car apart, finally have located the rough place of the water entry The water seems to be dropping from above the throttle pedal. I'm thinking it's the windscreen? Also cleaned up what I think are the plenums? They had leafs but nothing major. Picture also attached

Will have a good look tomorrow. Cheers for the advice

Makes sense. I'll try and see if either of those are the issue.... Is there an easy way to check either? I had a look at the windscreen but it's hard to tell if the seal is 100% I'll have a bit of a google

Hey All! Wondering if anyone can help me, had some rain here recently and noticed water got into the cabin. I'm pretty sure it happened while it was parked and not driving. It's only in the driver side footwell and I've checked the fire wall and there is no obvious place for water to enter (such as a grommet or such. Have pulled the carpet back and it looks like it's leaking from the centre console maybe? Just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue or has any thoughts on where this could be from? The water patch seems to be from the left of the clutch pedal against the gearbox tunnel (can see the discolouration on the photo. Any help would be sooo good (is in a R34 GTT)

Yep! I think I went to big with the catch can and can't find anywhere to mount it. Trying to decide whether to get a smaller can or relocate the battery.... But the concept is sound and all the parts fit, so if you went with the 1l can it wouldn't be an issue

Arghhh, I keep buying parts for the car but don't have the time to install as yet and still waiting for my new shed to arrive. But ordered the alpha omega racing Evo brake upgrade kit today! Took the car to Wakefield on the weekend, and it did not inspire confidence under brakes

Nope, all the events ill be entering dont require a cage for a street registered car, but for my own safety i wanted to run a harness and a hans device (Just feel safer). Also im not 100% sure i trust the A pillars on these cars, they look tiny! So for this purpose the cage is perfect. Was hoping you wouldn't mind, is nice to see the full history of a car in one place
