Started pulling my driveshafts out. Passenger side was easy. I broke a ratchet and 2 sockets trying to get the drivers side nut off, no dice :(

quality tools, lots of WD40, Impact and leverage - lol

No I don't want to come over and do it. I just like being a smart arse with advice :P

thanks, but i have one already :)

i had leverage too, my trolley jack handle :P

left it to soak this morning, will try again tonight.

Try swearing A LOT. it usually helps i find.

Have you tried using quality ring spanner and then bashing it with a hammer. Once i tried jumping on a nut with long bar and snapped sockets, then inserted a ring spanner and bashed with those short fat 1 piece hammers and it came off smoothly. Just hold the bolt end with your hand to keep tension on the spanner. I now use this technique to get everything off works so well, and if hammer unavailable use the bottom of your fist.

Yeah that was with long bar/gradual torque method on seized bolts , but with hammer method i havent had one ruined bolt/nut and 100% success rate even on most seized bolts

Still drive the corolla by the way :P

R34 went in for tune in syd but some issues arose with exhaust leaks and wastegate fouling (stupid split dump pipe) but i fixed everything, all mods ready for the e85 tune.

Hows yours white r33 or did you get rid of it ?

He got a "family" and "settled down" and de manned himself and got a stag.

Stupid question, but can anyone point me in the right direction for where to buy a can of compressed air? I assume they're available from places like Autopro etc though there might be a much cheaper option.

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
