Try Bunnings?

Or a specialist tool shop. I got some things from a bolt shop in penrith that seemed to have alot of specialist tools. I think it was called bolt master. The place is right across from Race Solutions (HITMAN's).

Good luck on finding it..

And what is it for, as it will be a fairly minute hole.

Cheers

Dick Smith's has a set with a .5 mm drill but that's the smallest I've seen in a retail store. 12 piece high speed PCB drill bits for small hobby applications. Sizes are 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.5mm diameter. You may have to try a speciality machinist tool shop.

What are you trying to do? The drills get very brittle when they get down that small and you can't just stick them in a normal chuck.

If it's only plastic you might be able to find a bit of piano wire in that gauge from a hobby store, heat it up with a blowtorch until its yellow and pierce it though.

Otherwise it's not going to be real easy, jewellery store supplies 'might' have something like that for metalwork too.

Almost certain you could get one from Gasweld.

Yep, what you need are GAS drills. (calibrated accurately & small enough for gas/fuel jets etc)

Forget Dick Smith, Bunnings etc- that would be like going to a Woolies servo & expecting to find proper race fuel.......

Hey mate, You can get them in dremel packs of drill bits.. Would be slightly hard to use on a drill tho and a rotary tool or dremel spins quite quick..

but yeah rotary tools have those sizes.. bunnings in the dremel section

    • 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
