Hey,

A little bit weird but I need some new bolts for the GTR (and nuts) for my viscous fan coupling.

In the end the Bursons book said the R31 viscous coupling is compatible with R33's but it doesn't fit.

I mean you can bolt it on but the coupling will not clear the pulley behind it, some damage was done to the coupling so I can't take it back for a refund, new plan is to get longer bolts and space it out by 10 or 20mm to allow it to clear the pulley and get closer to the radiator (its sitting a few centimetres away).

Anyway, does anyone know a company that sells bolts on the weekend?

The bolts fit 10mm nuts on them, I need to find out the length which I will know soon.

I do plan to visit Supercheap and Autobarn but not sure if they have them. I know the Melbourne Bolt company is open Monday to Friday, anyone have any suggestions?

Regards,

Gareth

BJ Bearings.

Also theres a place that sells any kind of bolt imaginable on centre rd between springvale rd and westall rd. i go past it everyday on my way to work and they are a regular parts supplier for work but im stuffed if i can remember their name.

Also try Blackwoods but $$$ and i dunno if they are open.

A lot of places might be shut for the weekend dues to easter.

Cheers, Ron

i got 1000000000's of diff bolts from my gtst if anyone needs any car specific type ones

Haha, I'm looking for bolts that the fan viscous coupling attaches to but I need them to be longer than standard :D

So fit 10mm nuts and longer than standard.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions so far. Getting things during the week is hard because I work around 9-6:30PM most days and I want my skyline back now :blink:

Looks like there are studs on that pulley and its not going to be easily removed, I will have to delay to Monday now unless :D

Thanks for the help, but I need to find a way to make the R31 viscous coupling fit still....

I've started a new thread here about the issue:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...us-t211451.html

There's a bolt place on Boundary Road, Melbourne Bolts or something like that. Travel west down Lower Dandenong Road towards Boundary Road, once you hit Boundary Road, turn left and the store will be on the right about 100-200m down the road. They should have everything you need.

Not too sure if they're open today, but if you're nearby, doesn't hurt to drop by.

lol i would of taken it back and said it didnt fit and say it was his fault they would of refunded for sure even if it was damaged abit, if they stated "it should fit"

Haha, I don't think its going to work. I've found a few posts on SAU about these fitting, I'm wondering if the other models of R33's are different to the RB26DETT setup on the front....

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
