heh I used to have my own little black book for my associates. I've lost it since and have no need for it but I'll keep an eye out Funny though I saw about 6 cop cars hooning (well.. only 1 that I thought was dodgey.. magna doing like 170kmh in peak hour but whatever) today and 2 or 3 were u/cover. Something big must have happened near Roseville Bridge.

Doesn't it decrease engine braking effectiveness? (as it is easier to spin)

Question - how'd they go in the wet? and what's the point of having that tyre made in that fashion? (other than not requiring air)?

What are the TECHNICAL qualification standards for going into privateer/factory comp?

I think I got a head unit for ya if you want it. Idiots about the boost controller etc. Good to hear the clutch is the only thing ****ed mechanically.

Thanks for the pics. Looks awesome.

I've always been a fan of 5 stud for fatter wheels. On these forums you tend to find nice 5 stud wheels (ie for s14, s15, r32/33/34, 350z, supra etc). I found when looking for wheels the 4 studded ones just tend to be smaller and would look more at home on smaller/slower cars. I was glad the car I got already had r32 brakes all round with s15 hubs (which i think are the same anyway). This meant that whenever shopping for wheels I know that any ones that fit a skyline can fit mine (the clearances etc are all the same). The brakes are a phenomenal improvement over stock cefiro brakes but won't matter TOO much if you're starting to drift it, although I must admit with some nice pads the handbrake comes into it's own In traffic and for circuit they pull up shitloads better. And with some nice pads (I'm running project mu which I'm lovin) they pull up quicker than a fighter pilot that took too much speed (and a lot of skylines for that matter). I've only ever compared stock cefiro with so-so pads, stock cefiro with rb74s, stock skyline with so-so pads and my cef with skyline brakes and random hard pads and then project mu's. So this may be different to what others have found. Either way if you're goin to the trouble of fitting skyline brakes you may as well save up some more cash and get the hubs - The biggest advantage I see in this is that your brakes are more "standard" .. ie if you ever need work done on them or parts you know your brakes are skyline brakes. Not skyline brakes re-drilled to 4 stud. (and as mentioned before wheel issues). PS. I'd also go j-coilovers simply because they're harder. People always say whiteline are nice for aussie roads because they're bumpy. Personally I can safely steer clear of pot holes and the like and I don't abuse power goin around corners (cos with hard suspension if you hit a bump you'll come un-stuck real quick) - for me hard suspension works great. I've found in my mates GTiR with about 2k worth of whiteline parts in it while it handles GREAT and you'd take it to targa no problems - I don't find it quite hard enough (as you might like on a track). shrug go for a ride with some cefiro peoples thats my advice - you'll find there's a great diversity of settings even between different sets of the same brand coilovers.

Nic lives in the ghetto that's why. Nic - give us a buzz I've been workin on some tricks when it comes to security.. been fully thinkin bout it since your car got taken. Also before you run out and grab a quik trac or whatever talk to me also Good to hear it's back tho. May as well strip the engine and go the rb30 eh ?

heh. well I wish I was insanely rich so I COULD. After reading about the car I don't think I would, instead I'd buy a gun metal r34 and switch rego plates with it and drive it on road I'd also buy myself a rubber ducky and float it in my swimming pool in my mansion.. muwahah

I wish I was insanely rich so I could buy one and crush it just for the photos

They ALL need to be recond as far as I know Just outta interest do you know where the new ones come from? they make them to spec right?

does the vent out of anything else more common fit?

Also, I've been reading those autospeed articles on the alarms and I fail to see what the difference is between like $1000 alarms and the $150 jaycar jobbies. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Gday, I took my car for a quick drive yesterday and noticed ONCE and only ONCE when I pulled up to my driveway and it got under 10-15kmh it started grinding.. My foot was on the brake applying even pressure from about 60kmh and it only started when the car really slowed down to 10-15kmh. The sound sounded as if it was shuddering, almost like I would imagine it would sound as if it had no pads or something. I immediately took my foot off the brake and tried to replicate it. Thing is there was no difference in pedal feel nor was there any shuddering of the car, just the sound of something rubbing and I couldn't make it do it again. Question is - what should I check? I heard the project mu pads I use have been known to fall off their backing but I checked that and sure enough the pads there. Also the few times after that I pulled the car up seemed to work fine. I'm once again scared to drive it as it's a brake issue but all the fluid has been flushed a few months ago (and I've driven the car less than 100km since then) and the pads changed. Everything looks normal from a layman's visual inspection. I've had some suspension bits fitted but I can't see them fouling anything especially as this would happen when I'm braking from 60kmh. Anyone have any clues?

lol excels with fat bitches with "cutey pie" or "0-bitch in 2 seconds" etc stickers in the back window. OH DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!

heh i've never seen one with it.... ive heard about them though.

Yeah $600 seems excessive for a non tracking unit.

**** that sounds hectic.

ah, that makes sense, thanks D.

Seems I mis-read the question. I need an actual grommet

I second that. Mine leaks in the cefiro. I tried Clarks Rubber grommets but had to modify it and as a result it ain't perfect.

lmao eps! ... how unhelpful yet totally worth posting haha. If you want pics of a handbrake cutout go into the sticky's in the cefiro section and checkout inark's car. It has the handbrake cutout in the console. I think the best fit would be a manual console ... but yeah that would cost

Hmm. well to import I doubt they could be sold for $6. But I wouldn't buy air freshener for $15 so why would anyone else? I dono where motoquipe is but I will take some photos of ones I have here already as samples. They're the ones I gave to friends and everyone thought they were great as they weren't over powering and last ages, as well as having a nice smell in the first place. I've also got a coal pad that will "be disrespectful to odours and eat odour" and things like that I'll post up photos after I come back from a "cerebral CT scan" ... apperantly I'm too cool to be human so they wanna take pictures of my brain ("so you mean it ain't me noggin it's me peepers?")

Finally someone said what I was thinking. *sigh* why oh why can't I ever seem to find a decent garage!?

How much are those clip things? theyre the ones I'm competing with. As for $3-4 I'd love to sell them for around this price but it'd be impossible to even buy them for that :
