I'm slowly replacing all my old factory bolts/nuts in the engine bay with stainless steel ones. Now im trying to find the 2 nuts with the inbuilt washer that go on the top of your suspension in stainless steel. Everywhere i've been doesn't even sell normal ones, let alone in stainless. I thought it would be a common item especially at a suspension place, but when i went to one they told me they can't get them. When we asked them "What do you do if you lose/break one and need to get your hands on one", they told us they go to a wrecker?? WTF!

Tried bolt masters, hardware stores, suspension places etc. Starting to run out of ideas. Maybe its just cause Townsville is so shit no one here sells them.

I know you can get them in stainless because i've seen them in engine bay pics, so does any one know where you can buy them from?

Thanks.

Hmm thats actually not a bad idea, might try that. Thanks man.

Anyone else have any ideas? Surely some bolt/tool shop can order them in or something? Or if some one knows of a store down south ill order them if i have too.

yeah i normally go to the nut /bolt shop for those types of things. Got some for the strut towers of a Supra a few months ago, it was only $2.50 for 6. I think the company is called High Tensile bolts. Im sure you could find a similar business up there.

Do they HAVE to be the special nuts with the little crimp things on each side to stop it from vibrating lose or whatever it is for? Is that why they are difficult to find? Ill have another look around at some shops tomorrow arvo.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
