the guys at Autobarn noarlunga are great, couple of the guys that work in there own imports so i find them very helpful. 2 of the guys in there own skylines so i always ask them if im not sure about anything.. Never had any trouble with them, but yeh havnt shopped at the mile end autobarn, except to buy my clublock. Not going to shop there now.

I ducked into a Repco shop at lunchtime and saw in the specials bin a Clublock for the "discount" price of $56. :(

Too bad BigW sell them for $34 everyday price. :domokun:

Hmmm, and you know this how? :bunny::)

The Repco and BigW clublocks were identical, same packaging and all, same item. Big $ difference.

And 'yes' they are handy for beating thieves! :D

didn't read the whole thread but all i can say is that you can't get any good help anywhere these days, anyone can walk into these 'specialty' shops and get a job...whether you know shit about a car or not. Most the people that work there are only there to push buttons on the cash register. however, having said that, not all of them are dumb.

Ive learned that if you want a job done properly, you do it yourself. enough said.

In saying that not all of us are mechanically minded bro.....hence most of the time you get people with knowledge to do it for you and you pay for it....

i went to Autobarn the other day and asked for a set of copper spark plugs for my 33 with a .8mm gap and the lady serving me had a quick flick through the book and told me 30 bucks each! then i kindly stated that copper plugs are around 4 buck each and she gave me a blank look as if i was talking sh*t... :)

Floor mats, seat covers, airfresheners and oils.......thats about all autobarn and supercheap are good for.

Can't believe you younger fellas buy parts from either of these mass outlets, you're paying a premium for crap!

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
