taking everything off to get to it...

you'll need a crank puller kit ($30-$50)

have to remove the radiator (drain the coolant first), and remove all belts

not too hard but time consuming. be careful that you dont screw up your timing :D

I have removed everyting. I thought its simply use 27mm socket but that just turn the crank. Thanks. I will give it a go buying a puller kit tomorrow.

o yeah.. um to get that crank nut off there is a variety of tricks that people use...

now i'm not reccomending or taking any responsibility, but some people just get someone to jam on the brakes while u take off the nut. others put a big breaker bar on it and move the handle so its touching the ground (while on the nut), -then you blip the starter. or you can use an impact socket device thing. or a rattle gun :)

you need to use your brain for this one, make sure the breaker bar is levering on the correct side of the motor (resting on the ground on the exhaust side of the harmonic balancer). i heard of an apprentice using the wrong side as a lever. the breaker bar swing right around the motor and took out the power steering pump as well as bent the breaker. at least the bolt came loose.

hahahaha that's hilarious, i heard the same thing except someone got hit in the face with it, got a fat lip and broke a tooth, could've been worse though :)

I use the passenger side chassis rail with my breaker, but that's only because mine is on axle stands and I didn't want it moving, only took round 2-3 small cranks, i think it was loose by the first, but the other two helped undo the bolts

then get a steering wheel puller or hamonic balancer puller from supercheap, they are round $20

don't use the pullers with two to three arms that lock round the pulley rings, they usually end up breaking the pulley, the supercheap one screws into the two holes on the inside of the balancer, then it has a large bolt which goes through the middle and pushes the pulley out while undoing the crank bolt

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
