got a flat today and realised something that never crossed my mind... The bloody M35 space saver wheel does not fit over 350Z brembos! haha very frustrating...

easy fix.....take a rear wheel off put it on the from and the spacer can go on the back....lol....I am pretty sure I have the same problem :(

you guys got space saver wheels ?

ARX eh ? you got cheaped!

What a rip.. i got a 5th alloy with my stockies.. and left that in the boot. sure atessa is going to hate me but hey if its to get me home,

a 17 with a 235 is going to be better than a cheese cutter space saver :down:

although i rememeber reading some dudes taking it to extremes and getting their missus to drive them over 4 spares and changing the lot lol.

That's interesting, I wouldn't have thought there would be room in the wheel well for something much bigger than a space saver

Me neither, unless of course the underfloor storage was removed.

mine has no underfloor storage.. so that explains why theres just a rim sitting there lol

on a bad note , smashed a lm4 rim hard this morning.. on a drain.. hadnt even moved the car 1 foot and took a 1cm chunk out of lip and tyre.. not happy!.. turned the front wheels and reversed straight into it not realising i was next to the drain..and all nice smooth angled curb around it.. no F*&%^#$ room out the front of my house with 4 cars out there and only 1 carport.

arghh.. not having a good day. :P

did go to mtq and get a new actuator for the r33's turbo and took andy's old 100k turbo in and dropped it off for a tear down.

thanks for that andy showed up this morning..and the spacer , champ

If you kerb another one mate, you might have to ban yourself from driving the Stag :P .

I just don't park close to suspect gutters anymore, even a parking fine is cheaper than a wheel repair...

My missus is obsessed with doing it, anyone would think they give out prizes for getting the closest! I chip her about it all the time...

    • 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
