got development $$. I do the reworks on them and people baulk at that.

ALL of it is processor based and the code needs to be pulled out, reworked and put back in place. a russian company was mucking around with the translation side of things but no maps.

Hard to say. I was driving in a storm and lots of debris on the road and driving rain but I thought I heard a noise that may have been it. Considering it is just in front of the driver and the plastic fractures I would expect to hear/feel something. Good thing I checked my gauges soon after driving along motorway and picked it up. I got off and parked up pronto else it would have been much worse.

Pics yet Jules?

I'm more curious about the diameter of the sub and how big the enclosure is that it sits in.

Oh...ok I will go down stairs now and take some pics with the phone and measure for you....

Well my phone battery is dead, but it is 360mm across and 140mm deep

SO I get to 104 k and the top radiator hose connector breaks. Quite common apparently and can's be repaired. Now I have a 10 day wait for part ex Japan $140nzd. :D

now I'm told I must wait until the 17th at least (back order) and no loan car in sight

This car is proving to be a problem ;) unlike the old one

Are you going through Nissan? Maybe I could make a suggestion if Nissan in NZ is slow....order it through an Australian Nissan dealer(e.g Hornsby Nissan)...pay for it via credit card and see how long it takes them to get the parts delivered to you directly....it should not take 2 weeks......I just ordered a powerduct new headrests and spark plugs and they only took 4 days door to door.

or maybe just look at getting a new one made.

Perhaps one of you Aussies could find out what the locals say but Nissan my side say it's Japan that can't supply sooner.

Give me the part number...I will have a go for you...worst case scenario I get it shipped to me then over to you.

Even if we just find out timelines for future reference.....saves you getting stuffed around with no car for weeks.....might be an extra courier cost though :)

Just spoke to Hornsby Nissan. They said max of 10 day's but most of them are 5 day's or under. e.g. as I mentioned my stuff was about 4 days.

P.S. They also said the parts are readily available in Japan so shipment would be straight away.

Out of curiosity, what is the part number for the spark plugs?

I have been given 3 different numbers for m35 spark plugs from Nissan dealers (and for some reason, FAST doesn't like me at the moment).

Don't know wether this is the number or not...but it's the # on my receipt from Nissan. Pretty sure they are NGK as well.

NI22401-5M016.....they are also $24.15 each.....add's up when you have 6 of them :banana:

I have just spoken to Tony @ Northshore. He gave me the part number NI22401-AQ816 and made it clear that only this plug should be used.

Also spoke to NGK (part # LFR6AP-9), "It is not on our system, it is not a plug we bring into the country". Talk about helpful customer service... :starwars:

Nissan ferntree gully have ordered them 10-12 days... $23.20ea... yep, it adds up but it least they should last 100,000kms.

  • 2 weeks later...

got it back finally but I'd be looking at getting a metal one fabricated if I knew what I was in for - apparently this can be done in 3 days or less and only a hundy or so more

getting mixed opinions on the life of these plastic top rads too mine lasted just 6 years and 100,000 km's

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
