OK....after much frustration, I got the top half off...now, that f**king lower half...namely that 7mm bolt, on the lower row, close to the firewall (so, from the firewall in, its the second bolt, or the first bolt on the bottom row)....

I've tried many naughty yoga positions with the socket, and couldn't quiet get it, I even tried from out near the strut tower, using 3x extension bars...still not luck....should I be using a ring set or is there a trick to this ? What angle am I supposed to break my wrist to get into

Once its off, massive clean and going black to match the upper half of the manifold, looks sexy-as, I'll post a pic....once its done, but need help first :3some:

Uni joints are your friend. Perfect for undoing nuts and bolts around corners.

Ive pulled off my manifold 4 times now, but I kept the two halfs together every single time. It also helps if you have someone under the car guiding the socket or spanner onto the bolt.

You've got some unusual skills mate :thumbsup:

Cheers, bought myself another uni joint this arvo (hopefully wont lose this one), and got it off, no probs - didnt think to try one because I figured they're too big.

The engine bay is looking very naughty now - have to trace and cut some gaskets, replace the brake booster, paint the firewall, and slap it all back together, and then expect some masturbation material.

OK, took a very quick photo tonight.

Im also using my engine bay as storage, same as the interior so dont mind all the other shit in the photo.

It looked sexier in my head, think it looks too much like an RB25 copy-cat, but eh, can always sand back and respray.

Opinions ??

Yeah thats what I reckon. I am painting the engine bay black though...a matt black, not a gloss black, all the shit in the photo has an undercoat of a dark grey kind of finish..it looks black for now but will probably show up with a dark background - see what happens. I'm not keen on having an engine bay full of colors, bling and a rainbow...it looks like shit and all the more reason to expect a canary yellow to finish the color wheel.

    • 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?
