Easy to source, nice and cheap: what's not to like?

I have also been in regular contact with another Y34 owner who has successfully sourced (Maxima?) brake pads, and shimmed them to fit our cars: will post part numbers when I get them...

Also, just FYI: not sure if it's a common issue (I haven't experienced it), but he had ongoing, intermittent rough-running issues, which after much diagnosis turned out to be failing ignition coils.

Just a couple of things to bear in mind: once we get enough info, it may be a good idea to create a Y34 parts/service sticky thread, as there's precious little information available on the interwebs...

Yeah i agree - i've found there's really not much info available on there however Aus-Vip.com i have found has a little.. not much.. but a little haha. I have the same intermittent rough-running issues but i had put it down to coilpacks as it seems to be the same sort of issue as what I had years ago in an S13 then replaced the coilpacks and all fixed.

I havn't bothered to buy new coilpacks yet for my Y34 but was planning on getting a set of Yellow Jackets from performance-wise.

Also I had my radiator end tanks replaced which turned out to be the same/very similar to Navara radiator end tanks so they were used :)

And when i needed new brake pads I took the worn out pads to SA Brake & Clutch and they matched them up with some replacements - no modification was needed either.

yeah: the brake pad thing seemed a little odd to me: I figure I'll be able to source a set of Endless or similar quite easily. Will do some research to ascertain whether ours are the same as the USDM M45- I'd say it's a pretty safe bet. Also, have seen a number of Y34s going at auction with what I believe to be CPV35 Brembos fitted, so it may be that we run the same brakes as a non-brembo V35, given Mr. Nissan's tendency to use interchangeable parts.... Once again: more research required.

For anyone looking for more info on part compatibility for Y34's (servicing, etc) see this thread: http://aus-vip.com/topic/2778-y34-gloriacedric-maintenance-info-part-number-listing/

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
