Spotting drills for deburing drilled holes, perfert chamfer everytime and it looks like it was done on a cnc!

Air rivet guns, makes light work when you got eleventy billion rivets to pop!

This drill kit is is a must have,,,remember the last time you broke a drill bit and then needed another. Not anymore with this one. Just have to remind my self to buy replacements.

had to use yhis the other day to cut the trans tunnel out of a vn then cut the tail shaft in half to get a wreck off the trailer at work... Had no key and was in park... The selector on the trans was also rooted....

If you are serious about getting the most accurate torque settings consistently, virtually maintenance free.

Deflecting Beam Torque Wrench

323500a.jpg

dual-signal.jpg

Capacity - 20-220 ft.lbs / 30-300Nm

Drive Size - 1/2"

FEATURES:

- Dual signal ( see and hear when the wrench has reached the selected torque.)

- extremely accurate (+-2%)

Or if you want something more 'high tech' this one flashes, beeps & vibrates

If anyone is interested in either of these PM me, I have a pretty good hook up & may start a group buy if there is enough interest.

Or how about these, find that squeak in your suspension or useful for listening for knock whilst tuning

No....not that kind of tool.....

The "how do I get this old rubber hose off" thread reminded me about this idea.....so here it is, the cool tool thread.

What are the odd/unusual/invaluable tools you use!

Here is the opening item....

What: Hose Pliers

For: Saving your knuckles! Gets most hoses off, and after 20 years they can be damn hard to budge! Vacuum hoses, coolant hoses, breather hoses you name it.

From: Got mine from the tool guy that came to the show n shine....probably need to find a specialist tools shop

Cost: About $30

Used a set of these on Tuesday. Absolutely awesome and saved my knuckles.

Talking about torque wrenches I had to buy this bad boy for my centre lock wheel nuts. I think it goes to 700nm's.

Cheers

Thats pretty awesome, haven't seem too many of them around, I bit overkill i would think for a wheel nut?? The wrench below is used on tank tracks & to tighten the bolts on the west gate bridge.

Capacity - 200-1000 ft.lbs / 260-1340Nm

Drive Size - 1"

Length - 140cm

Need a flashlight for working on the car? This is a CREE LED 330 lumen and runs on rechargeable lithium batteries. Thing is absolutely awesome.

<cut>

Nice, I use a Romisen RC-C6

Mainly because it floods a huge area when you use it, which is good when you want to look over a broad area.

Problem is the battery probably only lasts around 1hour, but the batteries are smaller than a AA so its not exactly hard to carry a couple around :)

Dunc I will be keen for that, one day. Lol street r33 or track car, whichever is working well enough to race with! Im secretly keen on the street car though. God im hoping it delivers the results im expecting! Im gonna blow everyone away! EVERYONE!!!!

Those torque wreches are huge! I believe they use that size to do up truck wheel nuts also!

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
