BstewyR33

well my taxi has finally ticked over to 200000, still going strong! thinking i should do a timing belt & water pump replacement rather soonish if i want to keep it running half decent and get a service done while i'm at it is there anything else "major" that i should probably consider?

I've got a set of 8/6 (v1's) on a 4dr 33 as a daily car, they aren't that bone jaring (and I drive about 45-50 mins ea way to work and back) on some of the shittiest roads Brisbane has to offer .- sometimes have to dodge some of the larger bumps or potholes. I've got them adjusted to about 8 clicks off the softest setting

by the looks of the manual - you should have more than 4 bolts to undo however in saying that, I've never changed one over myself so i wouldnt be the best to comment. maybe these pics might help

I'm pretty sure it's just damper adjustable, they do a good job at option1, had my coilovers (v1's) installed there on my taxi

if you havent tried - maybe an "on car" brake machine might help take some of the squeal out, I had that done after an off car machining of the rotors didnt do shite, every bit of braking squealed, bad brake shudder too. now, only the slightest squeal after a rainy day plus i put a shitload of brake pad grease on the back of the pad, and inbetween each of the metal plates behind.

spotted a couple of r33's today - black (4dr) i think through back of chermside white r33 coupe through back of chermside and blackers driving down main st

big difference from stock suspension hey, i had some V1's installed set at about 8 from softest. havent lost traction yet (driving dry or wet) on some of the crappiest roads brisbane has to offer.

jdm obsession are selling superpro non adjustable for $67.20AUD $111.20 for adjustable - not sure on postage costs from them http://www.jdmobsession.net/suspension-bushings/s14-s15-silvia-200sx?sort=20a&page=1

I thought they sent it somewhere, at least that's what my mobile mech did, I'd just leave it for the mech to do, then its done right first time with no f$&@ing about

maybe he meant 10,000 peso???

Don't need to replace - just get re-sleeved you may have worn out the grommit inside the cylinder And I'd get a mechanic to do it for you

Shoot justjap a message - they are pretty helpful, they'll be able to let you know. Blitz do one for an rb20, it's $699 from justjap

Ah sweet, cheers mate

didn't even realize they could be turned, are they threaded?

sweet - thanks for your reply hmm the original hose does look neater - might give nissan a buzz monday. Cheers

Hey all, changed over spark plugs today and when it came time to put all the pipes and whatnot back on, i split the shitty old pipe next to the oil fil point (the c shaped pipe) it was rock solid and brittle as hell when i put it back on, so i ended up running down to a enzed mobile rep's place and just got a generic hydraulic piece of hose - of similar diameter to fill in the gap. is that all good? or does it need to be something more specific? also, because the new pipe doesnt have the 2 90 degree bends in it, it sits out a bit more than that original (resting against the oil cap) will this be a problem? (ie. rubbing & eventually wearing through)? Cheers

just took a measure from my stock rotors laying around (r33 gtst) which was 27.5mm - now last time i took them in to a brake shop (before swapping them over) they said they were past legal limits. so at a guess 28mm would be the lowest

The minimum thickness "should" be stamped on the edge (that's where mine are on rda slotted) Try calling some brake shops to check with them - they might be able to help Prob won't help at the time but the road worthy will be able to tell if you've got enough meat left on your rotor

Super cheap sell a product called permatex ultra brake caliper lube - not sure if that what the guys are talking about, but I'll be trying that. My brakes squeal something cronic when reversing, it's a good wake up call in the mornings but f&@$ing annoying after a while Could also be that they are bendix...

well say you're down a stretch of the road thats 200-300m long. if you see the car coming from the other direction flying along, then I should think one would have time to tell if he/she is speeding excessively or not. mind you this would be based on the fact that they havent been warned by other drivers.

I do, but not if they are greatly over the speed limit.

yeah - think he could lose out on some money if most of the sales come from other states... whats frieght worth on tyres these days?

Hey all - not creating an add here - just giving you guys a heads up for those who don't sift through bargain emails & websites.... by the looks of it a guy (tempe tyres) in sydney is selling off a crap load of tyres with free shipping. seems to be a fair amount of Kumho tyres, some Bridgestones, some Hankooks, Goodyears, Pirelli's tyre sizes - 13-19inch available ill quickly post up a couple of the prices - cant link ebay from my work.. Kumho KU31's 17"- $120-$140 Kumho KU36's 17" - $ 175 might get yourself a bargain, might not, either way as I said, a heads up. Cheers
