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:

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....

    • 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.
