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!

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
