I have one for a 32 awaiting a future project. Welcome to pick up or I'll bring it to next weeks club meeting.

File a Police report for the insurance Graeme Seriously it's the worst when someone violates your personal space, helping themselves to your goods, but for this flog to aid them in such a way deserves exposure. I hope your insurer rapes his ass good.

Still a 4% (from memory) increase in radius with rubber over braided which results in quite a large pedal travel when the total volume is tallied. The GTR and auto GTSt feels like pressing a sponge in comparison. Now a clever business would develop braided teflon lines with an OEM look rubber sheathing....... But not everyone will waste a massive sum of money entering Targa Tassie. From the Maltech site http://www.maltech.com.au/brakehoses.html Why would you not change when circumstances allow? Facts about Rubber Brake Hoses : 1. The average good working life of a brake hose is six years. 2. Brake hoses deteriorate from the inside as well as the outside. 3. Moisture is absorbed into brake fluid systems through rubber brake hoses. 4. Contaminants in brake fluid act abrasively on the inner wall of brake hoses. 5. The brake hose reinforcing fabric deteriorates through expansion and moisture. 6. High operating temperatures contribute to the deterioration of rubber brake hoses. 7. The brake hose inner diameter swells with age therefore restricting flow. 8. Generally all rubber brake hoses on a vehicle deteriorate at the same rate. 9. So all hoses should be replaced if one is found to be faulty! Also Roy is correct. Busted arse old 32 GTR's have an almost identical caliper to 33 GTSt on the front which suits a wider rotor. I was of course discriminating and thinking of Brembos which are a step backward if only half done, but rarely do full sets come available. A full change up will cost about the same as a decent AP kit so why bother. I've still witnessed similar accelerated wear on the outer area of the discs on track cars for DBA's with the silly reverse slot. I have DBA's on the GTR but will get rid of them when I recover financially from my seat buying flurry. Coming together nicely there Azzurra

While I am no fan of DBA's design philosophy which has caused significant problems on Roy's front end, and which they "fixed" with an idiotic reverse slot at the circumference they are popular and sometimes priced competetively so buy what is best priced. I prefer RDA myself and thay have the new slotted and dimpled design. A stopper and good pads with slotted rotors is a great improvement but pales in comparison to braided lines which resist expansion under pressure when braking and not temperature pressure as wrongly stated previously. When incorporated with trail braking it lopped 3 seconds of my previous time at PI. The pedal travel is too great without braided lines so you contact the accelerator too easy. My GTSt brakes better than my GTR33. Another point. GTR front calipers on a GTSt without master cylinder mods can cause the rears to pinch resulting in a taily car under brakes with too much pedal travel, even with ABS and I really didn't like the setup at all on cars I've driven.

Nice driving I saw on the weekend at Dutton WA poofboy....I mean Evo boy

Cheers Rich. BTW next time you're down let us know for beers. Can't expect Brisby to organise anything.

Steve, can I come take a look at the dump pipes? I have plenty of time on my hands so anytime during the day. At this stage I'll take them if you are willing to hold.

Get a measure across the bucket then while you're at it and send me an indication of shipping cost to South Morang Melbourne.

In the mood for buying seats. Need some for my racecar but I'm a big boy so need to try them on. Let me know a good time. I'm free all week.

Sounds a good day. Was dead keen to drive up but a deal on some Recaros came up and GTR seats just don't fit the man. Condolences to those with breakages.

Yep, that's an exhaust brake. A Jake brake uses oil pressure to the hydraulic lash adjusters which cracks the exhaust valve on the compression stroke preventing the compression ignition combustion (no spark plugs) from completing so it "brakes" the engine. Don't be afraid big rig and bus noobs, the noises won't hurt you.

Good in wet, very squealy and limited dry "sport" grip. My vote stays with Dunlop 9000SP. Best road tyre I've had at the Island.

I'd prefer you leave it Greg. Failures are what we want to know about, and I'm about to commence collation for a document to advise of the most common failures and their root causes.

Pete, that's unfortunate but common enough. My front turbine on the RB25DETT blew at 5 psi limiting me to 25psi comp in 1,2,3. This thread is not about discussion on engine rebuilds but is for failures so I suggest a search, then maybe start a new thread and link to it from here to direct anyone who wishes to offer advice, just to keep it tidy and on topic.

Nissan.

Pete just let me know when mine are ready and I'll come for the drive over, let you make us coffee and we'll talk about what great blokes we are.......

Yet to decide on staying but will be there for the event.

Will you take 270 delivered? Ready to pay.

Offer still stands. $500 for the diff.

And I'll be taking a drive in a 20B Cosmo soon too. Be nice and I'll invite you. Enough on the 25 vs 26 vs 30 stuff guys. We're here to commiserate the passing of Moanies highly thrashed and trashed donk and support her on her choice of motive excitement.

Well there is very detailed information you both have offered here so we have to play the guessing game again!! There are just a few hints that you could offer like: aftermarket steering wheel or not (as HICAS uses a special boss to turn the steering position sensor) is the steering wheel aligned centrally when you drive is there the same number of turns from centre to lock on each side HICAS also warns of low PS fluid in R33 Just anything odd or non standard to do with steering. If all else fails either: a) leave it and hope it doesn't make the rear act up, or b) lock it, but don't ask. I have none left until later in the year.

Do the search. We don't like regurgitating this every 3 months.

Exactly the ones I'm thinking of. Somehow I thought you had them too. Some are calling them Targa turbos as they look so similar to stock/N1 but give plenty of power and great response so would be good for the RB25DETT If Benno likes them they must be alright. HKS/Garrett ..... same same but different price as far as I'm concerned.
