Big Zil

Forgot to mention, I'm after the non-indicator model only please.

WTB R33 2dr Ganador mirrors I'm after a pair of Ganador Super mirrors to suit a R33 GTR. QM1 white or Carbon-look finish preferred but willing to re-paint if required. If carbon-look finish, then units must be in good aesthetic condition. Both units must come with all electrical cables supplied and working. Located in Melbourne Bayside. PM me details, price expectation and pics if you have some.

Sounds like starter motor to me. Needs a service and lube. Had the same issue on my GTR.

Thanks for the update. Certainly all points to the sandwich plate at the moment which is the part that is covered in most of the oil. Either it's the o-ring or whoever installed this before I took ownership of the vehicle didn't tighten it enough.

I have discovered that I have an oil leak at my oil filter sandwich plate in my R33 GTR. It must have been happening for a while as there is dry greasy oil all over my front diff and is also spreading down my sump. I have put the car up on blocks, removed the bash plate to have a closer look but things are pretty tight given the sandwich plate sits just above the front diff and behind the engine mount and I cannot get a good view of where the leak is actually coming from. Working from the top, I removed the PCM valve and extended my arm under the sandwich plate and it was quite wet with oil, however, not sure if the leak is from the earls hose connections or the sandwich plate itself. I assume these sandwich plates screw on like an oil filter and have a rubber o-ring to seal correctly? Has anyone had this problem?

Stud pattern suits both cars. Don't know what offset the NA R34 runs. As for the Supra I think it runs 16 x 8 inch up front and 16 x 9 inch on the rear both around +50 offset (but you'll have to check).

Sounds like a hydraulic issue to me i.e. they haven't bled the system properly. GTR's are notoriously difficult to bleed but I would have thought that a workshop would be well equipped to deal with that. I installed a Nismo slave in my R33 GTR and it took me about 3 weeks to get my car on the road. Same problem as what you're experiencing. Not enough movement from the slave to move the clutch fork enough for disengagement. Any air pockets in the hydraulic lines will cause this. There are 2 bleeding points on my GTR - the 'dampener box' and the slave cylinder itself. The dampener box should be done first followed by the slave. I actually turned the car to ignition position to activate the vacuum assist that GTR's are equipped and then pumped the clutch pedal about 20 times with all bleed nipples closed and Clutch Master cylinder resevoir lid off - be sure to top up the Master cyliner resevoir before you start. A 2nd person must watch the Master cylinder resevoir and be ready to add fluid though to ensure that the level doesn't fall below minimum. For me, this worked a charm because even though I thought I had bled the system correctly, somehow there was still air trapped in the clutch lines. My reservoir level dropped to just below level from a top up above max line doing this. Once the level is stable (no more fall), the bleeding process can commence but again this should be done carefully and the bleed hose should always be a tight fit over the bleed nipples and should be submerged in a jar of fluid. Start at dampener box first. I picked up these tips from a few SAU members. I had full slave movement after that from the Nismo unit and therefore smooth disengagement. Good luck.

Still For sale.

Price drop on 'Wheels and tyres' but must be as a package. $800 no further offers (this is cheap!) If you want to only purchase one or the other the price is: $750 for the rims. $150 for the tyres.

Update for those interested in these rims. Please note that if you are running big brakes e.g. Brembos that these rims will not clear the calipers. I had a Mitsubishi Evo 9 owner come out only to find this exact problem even though the Evo runs a 8 inch wide rim with +38 offset from the factory. The problem is due to the lower brake caliper clearance (X-factor) spoke design. So if you're running a similar offset to these and have a big brake setup, do not bother enquiring about these rims.

Yeah still for sale.

Price Drop on the rims : $750. They are brand new in the boxes. Mobile contact: 0403 063 178

New pic of the rim attached.

Also have 4 Fullrun tyres with minimum 80% tread on them. I went wider on my car some time ago so these have to go. Specs are: Make: Fullrun HP199 Size: 235/40/18 Price: $200 firm. These were $150 each new.
