Whats up, I have a R33 four-door that is going to get junked in 3 days. The car is actually my friends car but since he didn't have the knowledge or the tools to strip his car, I ended up pulling the engine, mission and all his other goodies. I do have some questions though. While I have this car at my house that I can strip some more I was wondering if there is anything I should swap from the R33 four-door 25T to my R32 Type M 2door. I was looking at his brake calipers and they look a little bigger (front ones) so I took those off. Will those fit on my car and will I have to change my rotors? Also are they stronger (R33 4door 25T) calipers?

If you know anything I should swap over while I have the chance to, could you please let me know, thank you...

JOnJ0n:

The R33 brakes are much bigger and better than your R32 brakes - you should swap over the calipers and rotors, you might need the brake hoses so grab those also..

.. as for other parts that would be popular in Australia - most interior parts specific to the four door model is hard to find here (carpet, door panels, seats, etc.) .. let us know what other parts are there?

skysaresilver:

Are you aware that the sedan headlights are chrome inside, not black like the coupe?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
