There are companies that specialise in broken stud removals. They come to you. Search in the phone book. If you wanna do it yourself you will need to get an Ezy out as mentioned. If the stud is seized in there it will be a pain to get out. Plenty of penetrant (WD-40), Ezy out, Centre punch, small drill, etc is what you will need to do the job.

I dont think they charge too much to come and do it for you though. Try Thread tech..

yeah i decided to either find a 90degree drill and just drill the bastard untill its out and probably stuff the thread and use another nut and bolt instead, or pay the guy who does it for a living $140...... probably end up paying the thread nazi his $140.....

to my surprise he knew what the problem was as soon as i told him its a skyline lol

recons he does atleast one a week

if it was my r33, i would have just forgot about it and done the other ones up.

Because i did, and it was leak free for 2 years, its on the side with 3 bolts, so meh the other side has 2 only

that being said, ive never snapped onein anyone elses car because i would wd40 it early because i remember mine lol. if you still have factory turbo your not really stressing your dump pipe gasket

it didnt leak for about the first 40km, but then i could hear it when i drove next to a wall or in a shopping centre, then it soon became noticable when driving in the open....

also i could only get 4 of the 6 on due to the design of the dump pipe and then was told by the makers of the piece to take it off and evenly bolt it back up.....

then as i was trying to unbolt the dump the bolt snapped at the top, i bolted the remaining 5 up and it was leaking the same as before, probably because it was at the top of the dump pipe and there isnt really a another one that could take over its job.... if you know what i mean??????

oh well i guess its a big learning curve for me

get someone to do it for you. if you snap the easy out you are in a world of trouble

yep +1 for getting someone to do it. i tried using an ezyout and broke it. also replace all the bolts while ur at it :) bolts are 6 bucks each fron nissan!

WD40 is your friend.... always. If your socket won't let you tighten up all the bolts it will leak, even if it's the centre bolt. Use some washers or a spacer to get clearance for your socket if need be.

The dump pipe bolts you should be able to get from any good exhaust shop. I got like 6 or 8 of them for nothing cause I asked nicely.

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
