My Plates were Found in Bundoora week& a half ago, no vehicle attached. This is not an encouraging development.

Not that I know of, pretty well all residential suburbanite area. Went into the copshop tonight, they had less than nothing for me. Just the "we have people looking, don't call us, we'll call you."

I Found Tmaree_R34's Black R34, completely at random ! It only made it from Coburg to dePreston, so hopefully my White Stag's still somewhere in the area. - It did have a full tank though, so who knows "The USA Surf" sticker on RHS of my Tailgate is kinda distinguishing, eyes peeled & Holla if you see anything thanks guys :-) 040 eight 10 six 950 Thanks.

Haha Dude how late do you sleep ? ! ! I was trying to call & sending messages until nearly Midday ! Glad you got your wheels back home, did they get any prints ? The R34 was just sitting there, in a suburban street not looking particularly out of place except for 3 weeks of dust, 2 parking tickets and a notice that Gas works were going to happen, and please move your car ! Just goes to show - cars get dumped in quiet suburban streets, where there's no cameras & everyone's asleep. *Keep your eyes peeled for White C34 Stag with Towbar & "The USA Surf" Tailgate sticker plz guys!* p.s. Everyone get an immobiliser! that's first on my list if the Stag comes back. Or two immobilisers. And a club-lock. and a rottweiler. Grrrrr.. . .

Powerful, thanks Jase. Haha whoops, yeah it's ZVF-413. The japlish USA surf sticker, black towbar &HKS drainpipe exhaust w/matching tailgate sticker are probably more distinctive than the plates, if it's even got plates at this point :-(

I was out for a bit of a random look for my Stagea in pascoe vale area last night, didn't see anything black & R34-shaped sorry dude. Oh for a time machine & a baseball bat eh?

Hi Guys, My S2 Stag was stolen last night, right out of the driveway. It's a stock White S2 Stag, 6-spoke Factory silver Alloys, HKS Drainpipe exhuast. Has Black Towbar. Has "The USA Surf" sticker on the RHS of the Tailgate. Looks just like Nadnerb's one, which was stolen last yr: Keep an eye out, Cheers !

Noooop, no immobiliser. Regretting not using my Auto-Elec mate hook-up on that one ! Looks identical to this one, ironically I found this in ANOTHER stolen C34 thread on here :-( Cheers.

Maaaannn that sucks the big one. Did you get it back on the road, or was it written off ? Mine went missing last night, virtually Identical spec RS4 with Towbar and "The USA Surf" Japlish sticker. Preston / Coburg area. Grrrr.. . .

Hi Al, I'm not really sure if genuine - they came with a car I bought, which I'm stripping to make into a track car. I think I saw somewhere that genuine Brides have an alloy frame, and these are Steel. - Pretty good copy if they are fakes though, can't tell by looking at them. I'm in Preston if anyone wants to have a look at them. They were only in the car for 6 months, and most of that it sat in a warehouse. There's barely a mark on them. Can freight to Brisvegas, but not included in that price - it'll be extra :-)

[Edit] Brides now offered at the Ludicrous, CRAAZY low price of $649.95 ! ! I've gone MAD ! I've gone MAD !

I've had mine since this thread was forgotten about, pretty much. Hasn't fallen off yet ! I've moved house twice, towing my Karting box trailer chock-a-block full of whatever would fit. Hasn't missed a beat. Best of all - the tailgate clears the tow-hitch handle by about 70mm, so you can always get into the boot. Good times guys, good times.

Heya folks, The Recaros have sold. Gone to a dude kitting-out a Gemini on his P's ! The Brides are still available, price re-considered to $750 :-)

Hi Guys, I'm stripping out a MkIII Supra for the track, for sale are the 2x Bride Low-Max seats that came with it, and the Original Supra Recaros. (We're putting in fixed-back race seats) The Driver's Bride is almost as-new, and the passenger's only has marks from mounting, and sitting on the floor, you'd barely know it's been in a car. $800 the pair ono, they're advertised elsewhere & on ebay. The Recaros have height & angle headrest adjustment, thigh-support adjustment, driver's has seat-base height adjust too. Passenger's is in good nick, driver's - well you can see in the pic, foam is all good - it's just the normal wear points on the bolster. Not bad for 25yrs old I thought. $550 the pair ono, they're advertised elsewhere & on ebay as well. PM me or reply here, Seats are in Preston, Melbourne. First preference given to local pick-up. Shipping, if sold interstate to be organised by the buyer, at their expense. And no, I don't want to sell them individually. (sorry)

Hi Paul, one or both sold ? I'm in Melbourne, PM me if the "GT" Width one's still F.S.

Can you ask - if Locsed can get it Engineer certified for a Max Braked Tow capacity ? (2000kg? 1800kg?) Between 5 of us, cost should be reasonable. Might be worth it, You know - with the legals & what-not.

Funny, since I've stopped driving my R33, I no longer get the Big Bopper (Coppers) seeing a white skyline & following me through traffic for a couple of km's before pulling me over. Only twice have I been pulled over now in 3 yrs of Commondore driving: 1) 2010 - No Plates by HWP (when I bought it - had a temp.reg sticker - Legit pull-over reason I'll admit) 2) 2013 - Tail-Lamp out by motorbike cop in the Cardinia/Dandy roaming taskforce. In the Skyline I once had HWP see me going the other way (@99km/h) on country highway - pull a big U-Turn & overtake 2-3 cars to pull me over - just for being in a Skyline. Anybody who says imports aren't targeted just for being imports is either incapable of rational thought or a D!(kh3ad. p.s. an ex-country cop I knew at work said: "All the a$$#oles get put in the Highway Patrol car, because none of the other cops can stand being stuck with them for a shift." I kid you not.

Ditto. I have the cart somewhat before the horse here - won't actually pick my car up until next week! Might need another week to get locked-in & finances squared-up, but I 100% need a towbar, so consider me in +1week.

I'm keen on a C34 Towbar too, yell out if anyone in Melbourne learns anything about price/plated capacity etc.

The HICAS computer needs a speed signal, and that comes around from the speed-sensor in a big loop, which passes through your speedo. So yeah - no speedo = no HICAS. (My speedo's got a dodgey connection, and when it dies, HICAS soon follows) Hope that helps. p.s. the steering has speed-sensitive valving, so when the speed signal goes away, the steering goes into limp-home mode, which is minimal asistance.

From looking at 'em, I'd say the N/A box would fit if Your I/C piping doesn't run underneath it, through the factory holes. You'd probably have to grab one & trial fit it.

I've done 60,000+ km on Ultimates, including 3.5 track days, all on 1 set of standard front rotors. I'm on my 3rd set of front Ultimate pads, and the discs were only machined once, 2 years ago. Brake Pad sticky thread Maybe talk to RDA about their (possibly) soft rotors? Did You take it V.easy on the brakes, when You first installed them? Bedding-in has an impact on rotor life - mainly for shudder, I must admit.

Why are people paying $120 for Bendix Ultimates ? ? $85 people! (more or less) - Get a trade-contact . . . . . . STAT ! ! ! I'm on my 3rd set of Ultimate fronts (blame 3.5 trackdays for short life) since I got the GTS-T, and I think they're a GREAT street pad (no squeal, instant yet progressive bite, consistent feel) apart from all the dust. SO much DUST! I get 3 laps @Winton on a 37deg. day b4 they fade, and I learnt how to brake in Karts! (I'm "less than kind" to 'em) Actually, I'm damn-near abusive, considering it's my daily driver ! ! Speaking of which - I'm harsh on 'em street-style too. I've only (lightly) machined the discs once in 63,000km - and that was not long after I got the car. I don't think they're harsh on discs at all - however the pads get chewed up pretty quick on a full track-day. I'm with Govich on having different pads for track days tho - I kinda get frustrated with doing 2 or 3 hotlaps, and then doing a cooldown. Conveniently, my engine's coolant hits 115-odd degrees about the same time as the Ultimates fade - so it's mandatory cooldown (in summer at least) anyway ! ! Where can the Queensland Friction pads be sourced from? Some of them sound pretty good.
