  1. Winton. I changed the fluid only a few weeks ago, full flush when i put the braided lines on. A mate rekons i boiled the fluid due to the shudder, also explains the poor braking if the discs are warped. I dont have abs either. I thought the red stuffs would be fine on the track, there msant to be alot higher temp then the green stuff. Im looking into r34 gtt brakes now as I know russman ran them and he did a 1 34 around winton so they should be fine for what i want.
  2. Yea true. I found a place local that does new carpets so i might give them a call tomorrow.
  3. So my heater core shat itself and pretty much rooted the carpet, I have pulled it out and was just going to get rid of the sound deadening and paint it black. but, a mate of mine reckons its illegal to have no carpet, i dont see why it would matter, its not tlike the carpet can protect you from anything other then noise. Anyone know 100% what the go is? The car is going to be only street driven on weekends or to the track so I dont care about noise hence why I want no carpet or deadening and thought now was the best time to rip it all up as I have no choice now
  4. So after hitting the track yesterday for the first time I have found that my brakes are pretty crap, I currently just have standard calipers with slotted rotors, EBC redstuffs and braided lines. I had a few issues, first was insane brake shudder under heavy braking, and then my pedal turned to mush after only a handfull of hot laps. The pads are new and so is the fluid so Im a little perplexed as to why I have either cooked the fluid or burnt the pads, the fluid was dot 4. So now do I keep my standard setup and just get race fluid and better pads and try again or should I go for an upgrade? I'm running 17's and dont plan on running 18's so the updgrade would have to fit in 17's. I was looking at the r34 GTT calipers, anyone know if they will fit in 17's? I'm more worried about the width of the caliper compared to the standard 32 gtst, as there is only about 5mm clearance between the caliper and the wheel spoke on my sterns. Then theres the K-sport package, which is pretty friggin cheap for the 330mm package. Think it was around the $1600 mark of ebay for the d2 brand, pretty sure its the same same as the K sport?
  5. Kumho KU36 Track Dry 7/10 Took the car to winton yesterday, the tyres did really well considering they are a street semi. They do tend to go of after a few laps though, I got 2-3 quick laps in before having to cool them down. Street Dry 9/10 Wet 7/10 Awesome tyre for the street, you will never really feel the limits of these on the street. They are a liitle crap when there still cold in the wet but not really that bad considering how grippy they are. I drove up to Winton on them, did track work and drove back on them and they held up fine.
  6. Just went through TAFE. Just dont be surprised if the pay is crap, even though you will mature age its pretty bad. If you do end up doing it and start appplying for places chuck us a pm and I will tell you what places to avoid , there are so any crap wohshops out there is rediculous, I have unfortunently worked in a few of them.
  7. I would avoid VACC anyways as from what I have heard from a union guy they will try to control your pay and shit to much. Just do a pre app and see how you go, its really the only way to get your foot in the door. Do you really wanna be a mechanic? If I had my time again I would have done another trade, in other states its not as bad but Vic pays the lowest for some reason, in nsw you would get atleast $2-3 per hour more, when I went up for training last year I couldnt believe what some of the other techs were on, they were on almost as much as a foreman down here which is just worng.

    This is why im only going to drive mine on weekends or to the track from now on. We seriously should get a petition or something happening as i am seriously considering moving states cause vic is just retarded in there approach to the so called hoons. They should be targeting all the f**kwits in there commodores, i have never seen anyone around my area do anything stupid in a skyline, but the amount of times i see heros in there crummy dores been idiots just pisses me of, tainting everyone with the same brush
  9. Very impressed. Cant believe the shifter bush let go haha

    You would hope not, otherwise any random could call up and make a bogus statement. All these laws are just stupidly over the top. Fair enough if u get caught doing something stupid u should cop it but to impound a car on allegations or with no proof is just not right, I thought it was innocent until proven guilty, or maybe thats just with lesser crimes like murder lol
  12. Stop trolling and writing stupid offers on ppls threads. Free bump, i would actually buy this if i had spare coin.
  13. Book me in for both nights please Bec
  14. Wow how did the subframe crack? Give us a yell if ya need a hand getting it ready
  15. Yup injectors
  16. So how come you dont get full points after you have already lost your license? I thought that the 1 point or 3 month option was only if you were about to loose your license, thats what happened to me a few years ago and I just took the 3 month option, 3 months isnt much really to wait, just think of it as a time to save money for your gtr.
  17. So I see, I thought you had a de not the E, dont think I've ever seen a rb20e before. Then yes it looks the same as an rb30, almost identical. It should on the front of the engine, where the top rad hose goes to the motor.
  18. Well said. Why would you not contest it, if you get a defect for something that is legal then why wouldnt you contest it. If I ever get a bullshit defect they will never hear the end of it.
  19. Completely different to a 30. The 20's run a seperate coil pack per cylinder, they sit on top of the spark plugs under the cover.
  20. How many coats of paint did you apply?
