So I'm one of those hopeless people that imported a Skyline into Canada and finding parts is a nightmare. I was wondering if you folks could direct me to a website/online parts catalog that has a compatibility or interchange kind of thing. Or if someone knows off the top of thier head that would be sweet also. (btw, ruined a front strut on my 83 DR30, jap model, and I'm trying to find a compatible one to replace it available in Canada. not an upgrade mind you, just a replacement.) Thanks in advance ;)

Import Monster might be another idea.

Given the age of the car you might be better off replacing the whole lot with a set of Tein's or similar, that is unless you are keeping the car original.

Bleh, no luck yet. Could some kind spare a minute if they are at the parts store? If I could get a Nissan part number for the struts I could probably work it out for myself. In fact an aftermarket part no would probably work. On a side note, does my DR30 have the same struts as, say, a MR or an HR?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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?

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.
