Hey All,

 

I have had a quick look but couldn't find anything too specific - what should be the essential tools for an r32 Glove box tool kit?

So far I have 8 and 10mm screwdriver sockets, pliers, side cutters, a Toyota flat/Phillips screwdriver combo, electrical tape and zip ties (of course).

Is there any other tool/s that will help for a roadside emergency?

Change of shirt for when the ventilation system stops working again.

Bag of rags to clean up the oil puked out the RB's breathers.

Glue to stick the B pillar trims back together.

Knife to stab the bubbles in the dashboard with.

Pliers to pick up the broken turbine wheels off the turbochargers (They may still be hot).

More rags to clean the back window because the wiper doesnt work any more.

Can of spartan air.

Your mechanic's (Now best friend) phone number.

$750 *old logo* Nismo cigarette lighter

A necessity. What you really need is a pair of those Nismo branded binoculars.

People really out there paying for anything with a Nismo logo on it, when they can usually get them for more realistic prices from Yahoo Auctions/Mercari. 

But most only usually see the inflated prices on social media so they think it's actually worth that much and not just a scalper's fee lol

A variety of blade fuses.

The glove box is too small, relocate the tool kit to the boot and just store your gloves in there. Seriously mate your car is roughly 30 years old and anything could go wrong. Fix the issues you know exist.

That's a great idea thanks. Maybe some hose clamps too

Nope. No way you need to carry hose clamps.

as said fix known issues and you should really be replacing all rubber hoses anyway

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
