Hey, the nut on the bolt that goes thru the bottom of a r32 gts rear coilover has completley stripped itself in our attempt to crack it. nothing has worked so far

anyone know how to get it off without destroying the bolt?

Or if you have to destroy the bolt anyone know how much they are from nissan??

Cheers

(working on it at the moment so quick replys extra appreciated!!)

already tried a search too...

tried multi-grips couldnt get it to budge, its needing more force to crack it than i can generate with them, and its not just me being weak :)

also soaked it in wd40 prior to all of this

havent tried vice-grips but i reckon its just gonna strip more metal off the nut :P

edit: 66 skyline, that thought crossed my mind didnt know if it was possible, i will give it a go

angle grinder straight through the nut and bolt will get it very removed, or if you are very patient hacksaw

I had a similar problem with a rear lower bolt on a gtr, cost a fortune to get a new one from Nissan but I found one second hand thru the forums instead :P

Nest time use a single hex socket and a decent rattle gun. You will have no problems then. In the meantime you have two options,

1: Heat the nut with an oxy until the nut is red hot, then undo as normal.

or 2: Wind on another nut of the same type until they meet. Weld the two together with a mig and try again.

Also the hacksaw idea is a good one. Just carefully cut at an angle through the nut on opposite sides, this will sufficiently weaken its grip.

    • 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
