have you ever had to order something from nissan? i had to order a new clip for the shifter to hold it in place took 2 weeks to get here and cost $18, it takes time and is always expensive..

the lines are the same but hard to find. i throught i had a set waiting just to swap over but turns out the passenger side one was seized as the old calipar from my hatch was broken and just didnt work??? news to me...

Hey RSX84, would that be Von Bibra Nissan at Southport you're talking about? Never dealt with them personally, but they tried to rip off a friend of mine by telling her that her brakes needed replacing. She took the car there with a noise in the front end, and they said the discs are warped, and are too thin to machine, and pads were worn too. I had a look at them, and they were 0.5mm under new size (1.5mm of wear left) and the pads still had 9.5mm of material left on them.

She took the car back to one of their other yards on the gold coast, and they machined the discs for free. Car's good as gold now.

Anyway: I digress. I've usually never had a problem ordering stuff from Nissan dealers (except for the useless mob in Mount Isa, about 13 years ago). At times, they've supplied OEM parts cheaper than genereic aftermarket ones (eg timing belt for RB30)

The Adelaie Cable Company (23 Naweena Rd Regency Park 5010 (08) 8347 1944) will make custom cables. I've had brand new cables made for my Z and my dad has had new speedo & handbrake cables made for his 510 & SP310. The DR30 cables will be the same as the RMR30 hatch or MR30 Ti.

hey sorry to dig up an old thread, but better to keep it going than start a new one on the same topic (cos ppl get told off for that :))...

I'm looking for 2 rear hand brake cables for my DR30. I highly doubt anyone knows any places in Perth but if there are any leads over east then that's great.

Thank you in advance.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      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?
