You might be the only person that realized a spacer was needed. Really enjoy watching your videos. perfectionist doesn’t even begin to say it. I appreciate you
Yeah im the same, not a big fan of mechanical aftermarket parts either, theres always a fittment issue which is why i strictly used oem for those parts for my build. But over the years its getting harder and more expensive to buy oem then aftermarket and my income just cant justify some of the prices for oem parts and not to mention i mainky buy from the us so conversion rates are bad and you pay more the i like which is why my build basically just turned into a daily driver on a budget with regular maintenance.
@@TheAussieSheddefinately, ive changed my opinion on oem only parts for my z and im hoping to use aftermarket parts for my next 100k service to reduce costs as much as possible. It also helps i work for repco and can source some parts at staff prices:)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but curious what specific type/size bolts are on for the hub bearings @10:25? I know they are 19mm (oem) but don't know what thread or length they are.
G'day Trevor, we enjoy your videos keep em coming. Just a thought mate, are you able to gauge your press on how much pressure you're applying? You haven't over pressed that bushing a little to create that gap, I'm sure you've thought of it and inspected the lower arm for stress. It was just my first gut feeling. Cheers mate.
G'day, no, no over pressing, just an aftermarket vs oem mismatch. If stuff is setup properly in the Press, its near impossible to damage it in anyway. Particularly with a small press like this. (20Ton) Cheers.
Hey brotha, question for you! Do you know it there is a difference between the z32 na and tt rear wheel bearing? Could we compare dimensions between the two? Mine are going bad and the NA w/ebrake bracket ones are not available, wondering if I can use tt ones instead. Inner race ID: 42.8mm, cylindrical housing height: 56mm, threaded mounting holes long way center to center: 100mm, threaded mounting holes short way center to center: 45mm, mounting face cylindrical step height: 11mm. If you could confirm these dims I would be your best friend. Thank you!
G'day Mate, I honestly dont know, but due to the different part numbers I would assume they are different. I guess it would be due to the TT having much beefier axles. Mines all together so I cant even get in & measure it. Cheers.
As soon as you showed your replacement ball joint I wondered how it was going to end up as I remembered watching this one from ETCG ua-cam.com/video/uwqhHXjJH24/v-deo.html
Thanks Mate, just watched it. That sux. Pretty standard with aftermarket parts nowadays though hey. Wait till you see what I went through with the Rear Cradle & Diff Bushings with Gktech. Cheers.
I still reckon you overcomplicated the press...never did explain why you bothered to flip the valving to use up side down, rather than just running the jack the right way round and build a head for the base - you know, for us "newbies". Oh well, I'll let bygones be bygones and never, ever mention this again. Those spacer rings should be painted black, not galvanised. I'm just in the mood to armchair criticise tonight (yes it feels good) - for the sake of the youtube algorithm ofcourse! Oh, I wish they had a little fine print font for this next bit - the fairlady is going to be one quality beast, way better than new when its done!
Alright, alright Benny, I'll explain lol. To use the jack upright you need to retain the crossbar, Crossbars Suck Bigtime. If you can get them tight enough to not move around when you're pressing they bind. The Crossbar makes it near impossible to slide the Head from Left to Right, a big feature for a press & one I use all of the time. Crossbars get in the way all of the time, if you have to press something with a piece that sticks up & needs to be turned so its under the crossbar, the press is useless. Particularly with car stuff you encounter some really odd shapes, eg, the rear uprights in this video Have a look at any decent professional press, none of them use a crossbar, they all use a top mounted Ram & for good reason, did I mention Crossbars Suck? Its a fairly common mod to Invert the Jack & Top Mount it, on cheaper Presses, to get rid of the crossbar, I just took it a step further. Crossbar Presses are just to limited for what I use a Press for, maybe in a small machine shop setting they would be fine, but not great in an Automotive One. Jeez, look how much you made me type, me being a one finger typer and all. Cheers Mate.

Thanks Mate, much appreciated.
Someone know the size?
Quite a pressing situation. Nice spacers. 👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks Joel, Cheers Mate.
We all have the mother in law with the icy stare 😂
Thanks for sharing! Your press rebuild was cool but your lathe is your best work.
Thanks Craig, yep, i love the Mini Lathe, it gets a workout on pretty much a daily basis here in the Shed. Cheers.
Another lovely job, mate 👍
Thanks Mate! Cheers!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Cheers Mate.
I would have done as you did as the spacers!
John, Australia.
Cheers John, it just makes sense hey, Peace of mind & all that too.
Magnificent work as always. Make spacer out of aluminium if poss?
G'day Mate, sure, but I think its a bit thin for alloy. Stainless would probably be the best option imo. Cheers.
Very nice, following your videos with thumbs up. Just wondering why you did not refurbish the hubs as you did with fronts.
Sorry I have just seen ep8, min 9. That explains why.

I hear ya Mate. Very rarely am I happy with aftermarket parts, but some times there's very little choice hey.

Hi, what is the size from the spacer? Best regrads from austria
