So you have a c-spanner, have jacked up the car and the coilover will not move at all? Its not at the end of its adjustment is it?

Anything that looks like it might be making it stick there?

hey mate dont think that there is anything that is making them stick there.. i do believe that before i purchased them, hey had been sitting there for a while out of a car.. the coils are nice abit dirty on the outside but no leaks, clunks etc... im gona spray it a few times with some loubericant and see what happens i guess :S

wd40 is your friend:), spray n let it soak for a couple minutes, you sure theres no rust?

try tapping the cspanner with a hammer, the shock usually gets it easier than forcing it with a breaker bar,which is your other option.

GUYS PLEASE HELP WITH THIS.

I have my rear end jacked up with the wheels off and CANNOT BLOODY UN DO THESE **** THINGS!!! It is ridiculous.

Ive used the hammer trick against the C Spanner and a flat head screwdriver, tons of good lubricant & just dont get any response WHAT SO EVER.

Only thing i havnt tried is a big hollow bar to put on the c spanner...?

My car is getting photographed this weekend for a magazine so need it done urgently. If somebody is CERTAIN they can get it done im more than happy to pay u to come and un do them for me!

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
