  1. Is it a series 1 ? If it is you might want to check your air flow meter. The connector pins, internally, might need re-soldering. I think there are a few posts on the subject here in this forum
  2. I'm after a R34 GTT AUTO steering wheel with red stitching. Dont need the air bag as mine is fine Must be in excellent condition with no scratches. The black is worn off on mine so it needs replacing Pick up in Sydney is preferred so I can check it out. Contact by PM Thanks in advance
  3. Oh yes lets go there ! ! ! Old school ! : - 1966 HR Holden Premier 186S that was factory fitted with the opal four speed gearbox ( these were supposed to run at Bathurst in the day but the gearboxes didn't make it off the boat in time ) Alfa Romeo 1968 Gulia Sprint GT AM - this was a very rare supercharged model that was fitted out in Europe with all the race fruit for the time. 1948 Ford Anglia Coupe - this one was a light weight racing model and had a hand built all aluminum body. And now I must got and punch myself in the head yet again for selling them ! ! !
  4. And is that the pull type thrust bearing I partly see in one of your pics ? Like this : ! ! Pic didn't work ! Post up your the thrust bearing as well !
  5. Post up a couple of pics of your pressure plate as well please ! Just to confirm it a pull type clutch you are using.
  6. An excellent job so far and how much further have you gotten ? Just a few suggestions; Clear casting resin may well be your friend here as its used a lot in the boating and water sports industries and tinting it with a suitable transparent colorant is fairly simple. Also a good molding silicon will allow you to cast multiple units after you have made a mold of the finished product
  7. Nooooo . . . the Gumtree one is from a manual ! Take the plastic surrounds off the steering column, remove the ancillaries around the column so you can get access to the to security bolts that hold the ignition lock onto the column shaft on the left hand side. Then with a center punch and a small hammer you'll have unwind the screws by taping them until they loosen up. Its a time consuming and difficult job to get them started. Alternatively you can drill them out but this can be messy but in your case it wont matter as the locks stuffed anyway.
  8. Old school and went copper head gasket and O-ringed block / head with quality head studs ! Never had an issue.
  9. 14 gorillas is high priced and correct me if I'm wrong but it's not registered ! Let it go and keep on hunting ! You wil be able to find one in excellent condition for that kind of money.
  10. Now Terry don't be greedy ! That's not a part but a whole car ! And be warned my dumpling limit is now 32 !
  11. So Terry ( and any one else ) what is the Holy Grail / Tasmanian tiger / Dodo / Night parrot / Lasiters Reef of rarest parts you are searching for ?
  12. What the hell ! Why do computers not put in what you type ? After editing three times " L O R D " doesn't come up !
  13. So what your saying Terry is that you are parts L O R D and you are using a parts mule to import parts into the country ! ? ! ? ! Your a baaaaaad man ! ! ! Wait why didn't I think of that . . . . . . . now where's my local Japanese restaurant . . . . . . .
  14. Nismo boost gauge ! ? ! I got a spare one somewhere ! Is that the one that lights up green and has a red nismo logo in it ? ?
  15. Copy everything I say ! If China can do it why not us ! But I have to agree with you Terry the rare items and options are getting harder to find. It took me an age to find a factory cruise control unit for my R33 and even when I got it I found it could only run on a N/A, auto, non hicas car ! Had to modify it to get it to work ! And don't even talk to me about the genuine side mirror covers and I'm still trying to find out if they did a heated / vibrating side mirror option !
  16. I had one in my box of electrical stuff ! I'll search for you !
  17. Got hammered as well ! Massive electrical storm came across and dumped 40mm of rain in about 15 minutes. I knew I was in troube when the gutters started to over flow and the water started coming UP out of the storm water drains. Was out in it with a bucket bailing water like a maniac for 40 minutes down one side of the house trying to stop water getting in ! Who needs the gym ! My back arms and legs are still hurting !
  18. Guys I use for all my big stuff ( gearbox/clutch changes etc etc ) is P & R Automotive in Wetherill Park. They work on Skylines continuously. Had my clutch changed by them just recently and when I went to pick up my car there were two other R33s getting stuff done. Might be a bit far out of your way though
  19. Yep I've been know to lurke around a bit ! So after canceling my Nismo Juke order I'll now get 4 Jotech GTRs and have 80k for fuel ! How's that sound ? I think I'm gonna regret canceling the Juke order though .................... .. .. .. NOT !
  20. I don't often make comment on these forums but for this car : - Looks like someone sat down and had a hard look at styling to make it more eye appealing, which to me looks to have worked. A few old terms comes to mind : "looks like its doing a hundred miles per hour just sitting there" ! "It doesn't have to try" "talk softly and carry a big stick" To name a few. What's the 'R' version retail for ? Because if its less than the 600K Nismo Juke in a previous post, I'm gonna cancel my Juke order ! ! ! !
  21. Just did this conversion into my R33 ! Used GTR mechanical diff, six bolt axles and ran the alloy bearing hubs out of a R34 and now run the R34 shocks as well ! A relatively easy conversion.
  22. I'm sorry but that's a serious piece of vomit !
  23. I'm after a R33 B pillar floor brace. ( some times called monkey bar brace ) Sydney pick up preferred. Let me know what you got Contact me by PM Thanks in advance
  24. Just had the same problem with my speedo ! Its a problem with the circuit board. As my speedo is very rare ( Veilside 360km/h ) it was worth repairing. Took it to a place in Revesby, Advanced Automotive Instrument Company, to get repaired and it cost me $187 to fix. With a stock one might be best just to buy another.
  25. I believe they are called closed shoulder bolts and I have bought them from Nepean Bolt Master before. Take one with you and they may be able to help you out.
