What should I have in my r32 Glove box tool kit?

[LINK17]

Hey All,

 

I have had a quick look but couldn't find anything too specific - what should be the essential tools for an r32 Glove box tool kit?

So far I have 8 and 10mm screwdriver sockets, pliers, side cutters, a Toyota flat/Phillips screwdriver combo, electrical tape and zip ties (of course).

Is there any other tool/s that will help for a roadside emergency?

Change of shirt for when the ventilation system stops working again.

Bag of rags to clean up the oil puked out the RB's breathers.

Glue to stick the B pillar trims back together.

Knife to stab the bubbles in the dashboard with.

Pliers to pick up the broken turbine wheels off the turbochargers (They may still be hot).

More rags to clean the back window because the wiper doesnt work any more.

Can of spartan air.

Your mechanic's (Now best friend) phone number.

Haha good to know! I have a dodgy atm plug atm; every 2nd or so time I drive it I have to pull over and jiggle it cos otherwise it will randomly lose power. Very annoying

That's a great idea thanks. Maybe some hose clamps too

Big end bearings. I always keep a box handy for emergencies.

A necessity. What you really need is a pair of those Nismo branded binoculars.

People really out there paying for anything with a Nismo logo on it, when they can usually get them for more realistic prices from Yahoo Auctions/Mercari. 

But most only usually see the inflated prices on social media so they think it's actually worth that much and not just a scalper's fee lol

A variety of blade fuses.

The glove box is too small, relocate the tool kit to the boot and just store your gloves in there. Seriously mate your car is roughly 30 years old and anything could go wrong. Fix the issues you know exist.

Nope. No way you need to carry hose clamps.

as said fix known issues and you should really be replacing all rubber hoses anyway

To be fair, I have a short length of vac line in my glovebox, because I have been left stationary a couple of times in the past when a piece somewhere did something it wasn't supposed to.

Tyre pressure gauge.

A NRMA ( or state equivalent ) road side assistance card !

The only time my R32 stranded me was when one of the intercooler joints popped off (because I didn't tighten it down properly). A flat head screw driver fixed that (and a small good LED torch).

I nominate gloves for the glovebox
