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.

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

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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.

      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
