Also when i removed the back bolt i noticed it only had 1 copper washer on it whereas the other one had 2 copper washers.

its the turbo water feed banjo bolt. you'll usually get away with just 1 washer. i think i have a few lying on the pavement in my backyard if you really want one....

Thanks for that do you have an idea as to where i can buy them, I tried Nissan Parts, even repco but neither stocked them.

Also thanks for the offer Jonno i might take you up on your offer if i cant find a place to buy some.

You can reuse them, but will need to sofen them first.

Pick them up with pliers, put them over a flame unitil hot then straight into cold water (running tap)

This will make them soft again, I have reused mine about 6 times

The washer is not stuck, checked it all out.

And thanks for that kingscorp will bear that in mind when i put it back together

should be able to get them at any good auto shop. we got grab kits of them at work

musta dropped it otherwise you would have a coolant leak. and as kingscorp said, they must be annealed first before using them again

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
