Having trouble finding the correct name for the bracket/mount/bolt that the front lower coilover attachs to. Its on an r34 and the dam bolt or nut has stripped anI am ubable to tighten it up and even worse unscrew it.

Just need the correct name for it so I can try and buy a new one.

And I don't suppose drilling a hole through the nut and bolt and putting a split pin in will work.

Thanks Ian

Thanks Callan that sounds about right, just got back from the local Nissan dealer and tryed to order one and he says that they don't have any information on imported models and to try the wreckers. He wasn't sure what it would be called either, and I was a bit surprised that they didn't have the Nissan Fast sections that would cover the domestic Japanese cars.

Think I might have to get a copy of the Nissan Fast software.

Thanks Ian

EDIT, damm, the nissan fast program doesn't appear to be available to download anymore. I can only find torrents for cd2 and efast1, starting to wish I had paid the suspension shop the 300 dollars to install the coilovers and then it would of been their problem to souce a new front lower suspension mount.

Any chance someone with the Nissan Fast program could have a look to see if I need to buy a complete front upright or is the lower mount a separate item that can be replaced. Its of a bnr34 99 vspec. vin if needed BNR34 005155

Thanks

edit; picture of a similiar one attached to highlight the mount i am hoping is a seperate item.

Information found, the uprights come as a complete unit, so you can't just buy the lower mount connector.

Luckily the upright seems to be used on all r33 and r34 models. Models checked so far are

ER33

ECR33

ENR33

BCNR33

BNR34

ER34

ENR34

some other information that may help someone down the track is the lower mount connector is 12mm metric with a 1.25 thread pitch.

It may be worth trying rethreading the mount first before replacing the upright.

Made a mistake reading the Fast info, seems there is a difference between 4wd and 2wd models, so please disregard the above post.

So I've run into the same problem as the OP :(

Im trying to remove the upright from the hub and then just replace the upright. But am struggling to get the rubber cap off, so I can get to the main bolt connecting the upright to the hub..

Any guidance on how it comes off without butchering it?

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      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
