Hey folks!

I'm Brandon, long time lurker. Bought this r33 Gtst series 1 1994 back in 06 with 70k on the clock used to be Burgandy was resprayed black before I got it(including all that rice! :P). Few basic mods cat back 3inch and an apexi pod filter. Kept it pretty stock and lived most of its life in the garage/daily run abouts. Resprayed in phoenix yellow with gold pearl in 2010, changed rims around the same time. Got the itch in 2016 to fix it up after the radiator had a small leak and I managed to rip the front bar off, after it got caught over the lip of a gutter while parked.  Cleaned up the interior and replaced the drivers side seat, passenger one is still sitting in the garage for when I have some spare time. Stock stereo replaced with a double din kenwood, rear stock speakers replaced(could see sunlight shining through from the parcel shelf in to the boot ;/ ) boot tidied up and reupholstered. still need to cover the dash surround as its coating has peeled off over time in the Aussie summers and replace the steering wheel.

 Now running a sidemount nismo cooler, bc racing coil overs, hicas lockbar fitted and boosted to 10psi @197kw on stock internals and ecu 208k on the clock still going strong. Tuned by the boys at GarageWorx in Vic Hoppers Crossing. In getting the clutch replaced today. Few too many kms and hard starts I guess and it had started to burn its face off smelt horrible.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a replacement steering wheel? Since I don't need an airbag as stock wheel doesn't have one I can kind of use whatever, I believe I'm still required to have the middle covered (no exposed metal)? Would also like something not as large as the stock wheel, as it touches my thighs on entry/exit.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?

Do S13/S14/S15 or R32 NA/ R33 NA fit? https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-rear-drive-shaft-l-h-nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-3x2-type?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqY7EwDaYCUoUU3mxxZ_qrUXkVVHiV4MIN7ozoar6scjnEiekv- would this fit?
