Any tips by somebody who has removed the factory wheel?

Usually its remove the main nut and bash job until it comes off the spline... but this one seems particularly stuborn.

Is there anything I can remove or do to make it easier?? Tried soaking in WD40.

You can use a gear puller to remove it, just use 2 screws on the steering .

If you dont have one undo the main nut a few turns and leave the nut on then try pulling on it or bash it genly from the back with a rubber hammer.

Before you take it out make sure the steering is centred and mark it with permanent marker ( the shaft and the steering ) so you can put it back in the same spot ..

I did mine a while back and twas a bitch if I can remember correctly...Just hit the very outsids of the wheel all the way around until it loosens, then try and pull it off while wiggling. I think it took me a while.

Also there was no ground connection for my new steering wheel becasue the stanard wheels plug has both connectors in 1, so I just coiled the ground cable around inside the BOSS kit and its leaning on the metal and somehow its worked since :P

got it off this morning.. the WD40 I think helped..

Just very quick wiggles, whilst pulling hard.. Helps when the steering wheel is 'locked' in position.

I marked it all to ensure it goes on properly afterwards without messing up the hicas, etc.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
