So today I did the brakes. Ever since I got the car I was a little underwhelmed by the brakes and they are usually known as being really good. Also lately I've started getting a horrible shake in the steering wheel and brake pedal when showing from over 70ish. I also bought myself a pressure bleeder. I've had so many issues in the past with shit bleeding and the Bora had weird brakes that made bleeding difficult. I decided that rather than being afraid of bleeding how about I get the right tool. Holy shit. It almost makes bleeding fun. Fill it with fluid, attach it to the resovoir, pump it up to 15psi and just bleed. So I flushed all the fluid in it with some nulon fluid. The old stuff didn't look too bad but I had no idea how long it was there. I also put new DBA T2 rotors and Bendix Ultimates. I've left the rear for the moment the rotors and pads looked fine when I bled them. Unlike the fronts that were lipped and scored and likely had some kind of warping. I've only done a bed in drive up and down my street so far and holy shit they feel amazing. The car feels so so planted on the road and there's no pulsing or shaking at all. This is by far one of the most satisfying car DIY jobs I've done. It's chalk and cheese with the old ones. It doesn't hurt that they're also very sexy.

Hey @Robzilla32 can you check the images now? They *should* be ok.

Thanks Rob, we're in the middle of moving the images to another server, I was hoping it would be seamless but seems the app is having a hard time. I'll update when its done and we can check then. Thanks!

Stunned that you posted this. I had just today started drafting a new forum structure to ask the mods. Eery. I'm wondering if the skyline series forums you posted will be too granular? Do we have an R35+ forum? We need to get some people to provide feedback.

Hey Eamon! Your GTR looks amazing! I had one exactly the same but white, I miss it every day.

Welcome Tony!

Oh hell yes! Quite the RB legacy! Any pics?

Agree, that looks awesome!

Hey @BDJ32 you're best off asking in the relevant forum on - Maybe in the general section; https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/7-general-automotive-discussion/ And also,

Hi and welcome to You should do a search on here as a lot of questions have already been asked and answered. Otherwise you can ask a new question in the relevant forum. Good luck!

I hear ya. Mine are terrible at washing the car itself, so I started washing it without telling them. They're probs too old now anyway.

Its just a spray on sealer. Kind of like wax but synthetic. It comes off on its own after a few washes, hence my issue with the amount needed for application and the price. If you wash your car more than once a month you might not need to use it and can save the $30 - $40 per can. I just bought some new DBA rotors and Bendix Ultimate pads, fingers crossed they're a little less messy.

And lastly, another 150 k's or so including some wet (which is probably why it looks less bad than previous one).

Welcome Dan! Great to have you here. Any pics of the project so far?

This is another ~150 k's of dry driving.

I've used the Autoglym Wheel Protector a few times over the past 6 months or so and I'm a little on the fence with it. https://www.autoglym.com/wheel-protector My results are positive, really positive and you'll see this below. But its expensive and I think I'm using a 3rd to a half of the can with each application. I applied the protector to my passenger side only about 3 weeks ago. The first pics are after a week and ~240k's of dry driving. BMW's are notorious for brake dust so its a good car to show a comparison on.

Welcome to I can't help, but you can ask in the other forums, there will be more exposure there.

No probs. No need to report now, just in future if you want a post moved. ?

Hey mate, welcome to the site. I can see you've posted this in one of the other forums. You'll get more exposure there. In future please try not to double post, instead you can report your own post and request it to be moved.

Hi Vittorio!

I might use it to weld my children's mouths shut. I could test the strength of it that way.

Yeah. I dont actually need to weld anything, I am just really interested in it as it seems to be a really decent way to DIY fixes. I know @funkymonkey has done a bit of plastic welding. Maybe this would be of interest to him. Shan?

Well done!

Yep. ?
