Hey all.

I am picking up a R33 VLSD this afternoon and am looking at getting it fully rebuilt,

eg, bearings, seals, shim plates, and anything else that needs replacing as i want to eventually put 300kw thru it.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a diff specialist on the sunshine coast area or northern brisbane area,

if there is no one on the northside i will probably just go to dan at ERD.

Any advice on good workshops would be apprieciated.

thanks Ash.

Diff laping at Kedron has been in the game since Jesus played full back for Jerusalem...

Charlie and the team down there do alot of work with sprint cars, top fuel and monster trucks so they know a few things about holding 8000hp or more...

Didnt know Dan rebuilt diff's?

Col do you know if they do gearboxes as well? I swear mine will need to be rebuilt in the next 12 months.

sometimes I think I bought a lemon but considering only one coil pack and the diff has gone it's been pretty reliable seeing as I bought it 3 years ago.

they rebuilt my 1973 LJ torana box from scratch, many of the parts had to be made in shop as you cant buy them anymore...

they had to machine a new speedo drive and everything, cost me $700 back in 1999 considering the hours labour I was impressed with the cost...

Rev did you have problems with your diff before the re-shim? I ended up picking up H@me's 2nd hand diff and taking it to Dan, I don't think my diff would of survived the drive down to ERD to be honest.

Col I agree with you those costs are impressive, when the synchros get a bit more worn I'll look at rebuilding it, will definitely be getting a quote from Diff Lapping.

thanks for the help everyone

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
