Anyone out there will to let me borrow there pit or hoist for as little as half hour... even for a small fee. need to change my oil. i live on western side but will drive anywhere for access...

a workshop offering a pit to lend out for an hour would make a fortune...

ay rick i will ask a close mate of mine his in airport west off matthews ave..

if he isnt to busy i might change my oil aswell same time, but this will be a after 4.30pm thing..

will post in here 2moro and tell ya the times available, if available...

havent got a trolly jack, drive way or anywhere to do it really. and just moved to this so pit or hoist will come in handy. clus i can have a good look at the bushes as thers a bit of a clunk coming out of the car. just moved to melbourne area from SA and dont have money to pay for someone else to do it when ive always done work on my car my self.

when past 2day rick and as expected he is full.. he dont open sundays as he doesnt need to..

but if your still stuck by next week, he will call me and try arrange for something..

kaz he is on king street, lol and thats all im saying...

i could do it my self no worries if i had a decent jack that would fit under the car. we got rid of everything when we made the move over here... even my massive tool set.

as for people not lending there hoist.. that was expected.. i was just curious to see if anyone has thought of opening there doors to people on the weekends as im sure im not the only person. cheers though

Comes down to insurance, your not an employee so they are in the sh|t if you do something wrong (just something to think about)

Maybe you could invest in another trolley jack?

Would pay for itself after the first 2 uses id imagine saving workshop labour fees :)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
