Id only replace the seals if they are leaking. Definitly replace the spigot bush and thrust bearing.

Thing with seals is if you put a new one in it might leak! If you leave the old one that is not leaking it usually won't leak!

My theory is if it aint broke dont fix it!

The gearbox front input and tail shaft seals arn't worth much.

Consider the clutch will be in there for another 60-100,000km's so its probably worth while doing the seals now.

When I first bought mine I had the clutch done. No leaks. No less than 20,000km's later I noticed a little drip from the front of the gearbox. A stuffed input shaft seal. 'Bastard'. Do it while its out!

I got that replaced then a year later the output shaft seal was nacked. Then 3rd gear got munched so I didn't worry about it. :)

So........

Input shaft seal and gasket

Output shaft seal

Spiggot bush

Hardened pivot if your running a 1000kg+ clutch.

Maybe a new slave cylinder they are only $30-$40 odd.

Check gearbox mount as often than not if you've been giving it a bit of a hard time it will be busted.

and some good castrol synthetic or redline gearbox oil.

Reweld up the pedal box at a later date if you wish. With heavy duty 800kg+ clutches its just a matter of 'when' they pop the spot welds. Should cost no more than $30 to reweld. + labour for in and out if you can't be bothered laying on your back for 30mins.

I'll grab one just for curiosity.

Did you grease it up a touch before hand? Where do u get them for $10?

Being Nismo I assume Nissan sell them?

yeah only on the inside though were the rollers are. (used some very good and very expensive landrover grease $300 a tube from my 'mate' :ninja:)

i got them from 3lit3 32

With the roller bearings you really should get an oil seal ring for it as well.

Mazda do it that way.

Ive had one fall apart and go all through the clutch when a workshop that won't be named put a 13bt in my rx7. they didn't put a seal in, 20k later bearing ran dry and died and i drove home with the clutch stuck half way (lots of slip). That was the day i found they'd installed an 8 inch plate instead of an 8.5 as well ;)

they go into the end of the crank, so 1 size fits all

got any pics of this oil ring? i dont see how u can run one, caus the input shaft has to go in and out of it, and therfore u cant have it sealed off. or can you?

the grease i used was some bearing grease that they use on the wheel bearings on the landrovers etc

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
