Itll be the discs, feel up and down them for uneven-ness and cracks. new pads will last for a bit until the cracks in the rotors cut into them and you get un-even disc/pad contact again. You need to take the pads and the discs off and take them to a break specalist and have them machine the rotors and chamfer the pads. If the rotors are gone beyond the machining point then you will need new discs, I recomended DBA Slotted, or if you want to spend more money, DBA Slotted + Dimpeled, which are also gold passivated and zinc treated.

another one of these threads... I feel for you dude, I really do, but we see these twice a week these days, and most if not all the drivers are non-SAU skyliners. We should have a subforum for this...

Ill race you. on foot.

Sigh I need a new clutch as well I think... Or prehaps I can get mine adjusted? Is there anything to adjust? The cars 125xxx KM's old, youd think a nismo twin plate would still be ok?

Im on the northside and have installed rice-sticks to a couple of cars by now. Shout me half a tank of fule and ill do it for you, im free anytime in the afternoons this week except thursday and friday.

Half the fun of scouting runs is getting lost then getting unlost I live on the northside and know nebo / clear mountain well enough to not get lost. Its the clear mountain -> mt mee bit im worried about.

My clutch is slipping, so I dont know if that silvia really would of beaten me at all if I had a decent one. On the way home today I gave it a bit of a boot in 2nd and it slipped like a mofo...... Fkn fkidy fk fk. Come here dan....

go the 50. Youll be lucky to sell more then that I think

The jurys still out as to if mines slipping or not... We will see what mr dyno has to say.

by how much? A roadworthy is the responsibility of the seller. This is for any car. I had to fork out 600 bucks on my last car to get it roadworthy.

Im posted to 105 Mdm Bty, 1 Fd Rgt in enogerra brisbane. *sigh* your probably dead right about your reserve counterparts. Reservists are a mixed bunch, ive seen some very switched on reservists, and then ive seen some very switched off ones. Im in a bit of a unique situation personally as im in a ARA unit, they went from lights (105mm) to medium (155 mm) guns and as such went from 7 to 10 man crews and needed 18 more gunners quicker then recruitment could find them, so the sister reserve unit, 104 fd bty was disbanded, however in the end only myself, who was away at kapooka at the time, and one other reservist was transferd accross. Since then we have picked up a few more on the books and have about 8 steady members and 1 good officer, with a few more on the books who never seem to rock up, or come back from kapooka do one or two parades then just disappear. Theres also a few ex-ara 105 guys in there that show up once every couple of months to keep themselfs in. For what its worth most reserve officers I have served with have been fairly switched on. My LT is currently in maylaysia (spelling?) along with another one of our reserve gunners doing jungle warfare training with the maylay army. As to BFA's and running off, well, noone really does it in 105 due to peer preassure, we all just do them. At first they were a bitch but they just kept running them for about 2 months straight and in the end that itself braught my fitness up to a acceptable level, and its since improved past that. What really shit me off was I had just gotten my fitness up to a passable level then they knocked off the bottom age group on the BFA's and made them much easier. The highest standard is now the second-youngest age group to what it used to be... Dont know why, I think it has something to do with the way the army is lowering its standards somewhat to allow more people to join. It just shits me when everyone paints every chocko with the same brush. The only reason I didnt go ARA was the pay was and still is shit, I make too much money in civvy street working IT. I might see if I can combine my IT skills and the army down the track, but alot of the army's IT is being outsourced to private companies these days anyway. As to our Q store, we have one very, um, colourful quie. If you can get past that he treats us okay and gets us what he needs. Then prehaps you shouldnt of gotten into it in the first place. Its not much of a fight anymore anyway.

because what you said is stupid.

And why does that exclude reservists? What have you done and what position are you in to demean our service? I have done 2 and a half years in the military, and for the past year and a half have been posted to a ARA unit which is very keen on making us work just as hard, and keep up to training, AIRN, fitness etc as the ARA members of my unit. From what I have read you know very f**king little about the army and should shut the f**k up, unless you can proove you have any real decent service behind you. Oh, if you can buy: 2x Boots (im up to my 4th pair now and have yet to pay for any of them) 1x Highshines 1x After5's 8x DPCU 2x Pollies 2x Brass 2x Slouch Hat 10x Bush Hat 1x Webbing 1x Pack lotsx Socks, PT kit, other misc items And much, much, much more for 50 bucks then your the worlds best f**king barginer. Get the f**k off your high horse buddy.

maan it was my birthday today too, wheres my happy birthday?

if youd been fined itd be bullshit, but as it is the cop was pretty fair on you and was just doing his job. Consider it your slap on the wrist for all the one's youve gotten away with!

Man I dont know about GTR invinceability. Ive lost plenty of races in mine, I lost to a silvia very recently in a straight line (tho he had to back right off round the corner, while I kept it up to speed). All in controlled conditions of course.

im 20! And for my birthday, in a final act of teenage rebelion, I went for a drive. I was sucessful against a aftermarket-turbocharged commodore and unsucessful against a SR20 equipt silvia which spanked me.

Sigh... ill be chatting with GTA on monday.

I paid for iridiums, it even says it on the docket, yet when I pulled them out to comp test the engine the other day they were NGK-R's with blue rings, so far as I can tell there platniums not iridiums... Heads will roll down at GT Auto if this is the case.

Im back... noones answered my question yet, do NGK-R's = iridiums?

its my birthday tomorrow... Im going to be a responsible adult :S I have allready got things lined up to do, so I cant come sorry. Nah not this time, at least not for any of my runs.

guys this is kinda important, I paid good money for iridium plugs and if all they have put in are standards I will be majorly pissed off.

do you mind if I ask why its being sold unreg'd? I may know someone whos intrested as they only have a auto lisence.

Are you fu*king serious? As in the $4 jobbies?

im still after the AC balancer, will pay $50.
