Picking up this tasty treat Thursday. I'm gunna be out of here veeeeerry early Thursday morning.

Do you know it's exceptionally very expensive to transport this car with the parts in it. Just a box in the boot means the diferrence between $600 & $1000.00 and they don't want to know anything.

It's going to cost me about $300.00 Diesel, $170.00 accommodation for a couple of nights + meals and 1500k on the car.

Cheers, D

Cant answer that question, only that they do & I tried to discuss a spare tyre and they say that's part of the car, but I couldn't convince them so I'm picking it up and having a holiday for a couple of days. Feast on some local seafood and imported beverage.

It is all to do with insurance coverage (particularly public liability) for the transport company. Insurers hate unknown risks so the policy issued to the transport company does not cover items that are not part of the car. They have to procure excess insurance coverage if there are additional items, hence the increased cost and administrative hassle.

It's back in town. Cost of fuel up and back was excellent, used just on 200L for round trip of just over 1600k and it's heaps better in the flesh. Was a private import in 1985 and quite possibly a custom order, as it has an R200 diff under the ass end. Not a stock item in an povity pack KHR30 Skyline.

I'm going to do a FAST check on the chassis number, but I expect it to be built 1982 or there abouts.

Cheers, D

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
