I might take a photo later. The knob does screw off, but the shaft is way bigger than the hole in the top of the rubber boot. The shifter comes out of the gearbox by removing a sirclip.

Geoff - If I got a boot that would side over the shaft, the oil would still be able to get out the top. Unless I cable tied it to the shaft. (But that's just dodgey, yes, I know thats what you would do.)

Duncan - I think this wed might be an SAU meet. Snowman? correct me please?

Chris, it should still be kept in if sealed to the outer shaft and around the top of the box. I know mine is split as well so will need to come up with a fix when I go to redline lightweight also. Cable ties are your friend man :D

Roy, a quick rings and bearings rebuild and sell the leftovers might be in order but ride them a bit for the replacement engine. 2 days to swap engines remember.

Duncan, Weds night at the whitehorse :D

Guys - this Wed is a NDSOC meet. The next SAU meet isn't until 21st Sept (if you don't count the club launch on the 12th) Apparently the HSV Club don't put entires up on their websites until the very last minute - give their members the fist chance to sign up. However, I did notice in the NDSOC magazine that it said Karyn has entry forms so we can get them tomorrow night at the meeting.

Denham - I can sign your CAMS L2S form anytime - so you can either come to the club launch on the 12th and I'll have forms there or else I can even do it on the day.

Snowman, in your travels before tomorrow night, will you have a chance to swing by ICE? I think i have left the keys to the PI unit in my car and i need to post them back. If you can ill ring the guys and see if they are in the car, (blue rope and two keys)

Whats the new beast? More the merrier. The RB20 lives so we will get to test my Sandown theory!?!?!?!?!

Spoke to mechanics today and it looks like my engine woes are sorted, and i wont be needing to spend a fortune on a new engine so can afford to get them to bolt it in.

Only it looks like friends are coming down from Sydney on the 17th, so may only be able to make one of the PI days, perhaps neither. Plus i dont want to rush everything like i did last time... perhaps i should be patient and wait til October and Sandown.

Thanks for the info on the boot Emre. Went to Nissan FTG and got it ordered same day pickup. $18.20 and it slides over the shaft quite easily with just a little lube. Turns out I lost 0.5 of a litre of redline lightweight fluro-blue gold.

I might come down for a bit tomorrow night. Not going to SYD now till Thu.

Oh and .....ah... Happy Birthday AdzMax.....

It's an ex-Signal RH9 GTR from Japan, a total animal.

It needs a bit of sorting out but the owner is keen on a circuit setup.

Good luck with the RB20 dude, are you just swapping motors...?

You are welcomed dude. Funnily enough, that's where I bought mine from 3 years ago and from memory, it was exactly the same price.

No more stench of hot gear oil in the cabin.:D

Yeh another std RB20 is going in...

Is it a 15yr import? Sounds way cool but i take it will be a strict track car or the rego thing of modded cars is sorted by takin git back to std?

God damn - another Troy! And another R34 GTR V Spec! And a crazy one at that!

We are going to have a fair presence at some track days coming up.

And I'm going to have to pull our finger out - or else I'm going to need some more boost! LOL. Emre will have semi's, Troy (ylwgtr2) already has them, RedR32's car is nuts (Ross), and Gerald will have his 32 in action by next year! It could be worse though - I could be running an RB20! :rofl:

Alot of Ross's stuff is coming off. Apparently a T88 isn't that good around Winton. :D But the base foundation of the car is awesome. But it remains to be seen if it can actually be driven by an accountant.

Is it a 15yr import?

Yeah... It is.

T88 to have Ben's magic touch, FCon makes way for a Motec etc.

Snowy,

You are holding your own pretty well so far mate, I doubt that will change with more powerful cars around you.

My aim is to keep up with you. If i can't, I will be playing at the back of the field on my own. :rofl:

    • 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
