so after comming home from a mates place where i was playing some pool tonight i discovered the central west reversing ability is rather low. the r33 i bought about 3 weeks ago has now been reversed into. at this point i hadnt had a chance to put insurance on it so im in a bit of a pickle and as my job is delivering pizza in newcastle i have no way home atm and no way to do work. for now i have mums shed and a good mate to get her back on her feet. but this is where i need you guys to help me out. i dont have a very big budget because im not working for obvious reasons but at this stage i need the following:

> r33 s1 hood

> r33 s1 passenger headlight

> r33 s1 front grill with the skyline badge on it

> r33 series 1 radiator

> r33 series 1 radiots electric fan

> r33 series 1 front bar (might be able to fix the current one.

im sure there will be more that needs replacing when i start pulling it apart in the morning. im also thinking however seeings though im in the situation i wouldnt mind doing a series 2 front end coversion but only if i can stretch my budget. for now though can anyone inbox me with whatever parts they have an how cheaply they can let go of them. thanks everyone and wish me luck getting my pride and joy back on the road.

took me a while but thanks xntrq. car is back together and ive resprayed most of your parts black for that carbon fibre look. i put my original silver front bar back on after drift stitching it back together.

and im unsure of what hit it as i came out of a mates place, walked round the corner and there it was with the hood nearly bent back up onto the windscreen. so im guessing either vandals beat her up or a ute with a big toe ball went back on her.

nah its all good now. all i need replacing atm is my heater core but im picking one up tomorrow. next time im in sydney if u still have a r33 lying around i might come get the front rotors off it depending on condition?

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
