Hi guys,

I have a car in storage which can only be there for a max of one month

On Saturday i need some help with parting a few things out of the car

I need some help to remove the 5 stud pattern on the car and put them on mine and then replace the other car with my old 4 stud pattern

change over my brakes to turbo ones

I also need help with taking the doors off and removing the glass (front and 2 rear quarter)

Also i want to remove the aircon system and other little parts to sell due to needing to pay off the seller ASAP

i would appreciate it so much seeing that i don't know how to remove these things

the place is out at gepps cross

cheers again

Gepps Cross is just up the road from me. I can help out if you wish ... but can only do so on weekends at this stage.

If the site has power, I have a compressor and rattle gun that can make short work of everything.

I could make myself free Saturday morning. I'll need to do work around my house extension in the arvo.

We can get alot done in the morning. Two people is better than one, and I can get you onto certain jobs to save time. :) I'll PM you my mobile number and we'll work it out from there.

If its got power, would it then have a bar fridge with beer? :w00t:

Anybody else want to lend a hand? :D

I might be able to free up a few hours .... will let you know closer to the day. I assume you want to change over all the rotors/brakes/lines at the place, so you would need AT LEAST 4 decent size jacks. I also have a compressor and lots of air tools.

Ahh what do you guys recommend?

I've got the whole braking system to play around with i think besides the rotors! im pretty sure hes parted the rotors..

WIll i need to change the whole thing over? Should i just do the brakes? forget about the lines and rotors etc?

He also said that i will need new brake pads which ones do you guys recommened and where abouts would i find them? i'm just after cheap reliable stuff at the moment

cheers

'Cheap' and 'reliable' don't really go together. If its mostly easy street driving, then any common-brand pad will do. SAU-SA members get 10% off at Autobahn if you want to go with Bendix or another brand. That 10% off would probably pay for your membership with the savings.

I'm going for QFM pads once I've upgraded my brakes (hopefully this weekend coming). Can be had for cheap on ebay.

:P

ahah thought so

i will probably just sus out and get some front and rear turbo pads

also with the rotors because they don't come with any on the wrecked car does that mean i have to buy new rotors to fit on the 5 stud conversion?

If you are doing a 4 stud to 5 stud conversion you will definitely need all of the rotors, as well as brake calipers, and you will need the whole wheel hubs off - it is quite a massive job.

No probs :)

Most bits are off, just the rear hubs next.

Thanks for picking up my extension cord too. Got into a bit of a panic about that ... kicking myself for being in a rush to leave :D

    • 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
