So i also got my new rear rotors and pads today too Pics:

How it sits now: And the tune results: Rev Limiter set to 8500, makes power until 8000rpm

Brake Kit Bolted On: When i bought my new wheels: From the top: From the front:

The R&D i did with the R33 brakes: Well i've been doing some R&D to do with the R33 GTST brakes and the N15 SSS wheels. Ive found that the wheels will clear, all they will need is a 20mm spacer *Note the rotors i have in the photos are not R33 GTST items, they are 300ZX. Clearance: Also I decided to take some pictures of the how the car sat before i bought some new wheels... Over the Xmas break i had a silly woman in a Commodore reverse into the drivers side rear quarter, you may be able to spot it in the photos.. Hydraulic Clutch Parts: I have the rest of the GTiR clutch pedal box, i just pulled it apart for cleaning I've just gotta get a braided line made up. Also another item

I started off with a bog stock N15 SSS, with a full service history, previously 2 female drivers. Still being a red P plater at the time image was fairly important (LOL) Here's a picture of what it looked like the day i picked it up: So.. Id had the car about 6 months and i decided to start looking for some rims and some lowered springs, I decided on a set of Osaka Zeus wheels 17x7 +42 offset, very conservative, your typical Bob Jane T Mart wheels, they did the job. Then a week or 2 later i purchased some Pedders Sports Ryda lowered springs and brand new KYB shocks. This was a huge mistake, the ride was horrible, but those springs stayed on the car for a while. I started getting a bit curious as to how much more power and exhaust would give me, (i have a fair few other mates with Pulsars) not planning to do any other "engine modifications" and wanting to keep noise to a minimum i decided to go for a full 2" mandrel bent system from Liverpool Exhaust. ROAD TRIP!! They did an awesome job on the exhaust, got it dynoed at a Volkswagon Dyno Day (a few other mates love their VW's) just after i got it done and it pulled a healthy 93kw atw. I was stoked. I wanted the pulsar to handle again, so i bought and installed a Whiteline Adjustable Swaybar. I have to admit, 99% of people on the forum recommend these, and they are all right, the handling difference was noticable straight away. Alot more turn in, alot less body roll, all round just a really great modification. But then I started getting bored yet again, I was notified by Dean, a mate of mine that a member on this forum was selling a pair of Tomei Poncams and tomei cam gears. Those cams where mine Once the cams arrived Dean and myself couldn't wait to get them bolted in, they were in in no time at all, both coming from mechanical backgrounds. The cams were awesome fun! But then i just wanted more again... To amend the ride quality and enhance the handling of my little pulsar i decided to purchase a set of BC BR Coilovers from JustJap, these were easy to install, very straight forward and the ride quality was instantly transformed, alot smoother than lowered springs and KYB shocks, thats for sure. I ended up purchasing a 1.5 way Nismo LSD from GC Corp, and an SR20VE from an importer in Brisbane. While i was waiting for the engine to arrive i was doing as much research as i could about the engine conversion and stumbled across a guy selling a SR20DE ECU with a Nistune board, so i bought that. There was also a Greddy MSS on Ebay, knowing how rare they are i snapped it straight up. The engine arrived and there was alot of excitement, due to lack of space at my house i ended up doing it at another forum member/mates place the conversion went smoothly thanks to Dean for the assistance. So the engine was finally in, wired up and running. A few weeks later Dean had bought another forum members old DET pod box, i borrowed it off him and got one of my sheety mates to knock one up out of 3mm aluminium, it looks great. Then i decided to make up a 3" CAI for the VE, just to help it breathe a bit more. Being able to make aluminium stick with a TIG welder certainly made it a fair bit easier With the intake done the next obvious thing was to do something about the exhaust. With the AUD being reasonably high I jumped onto the Summit Racing website and ordered a new 200 cell highflow cat, 1x 16" resinator and a rear muffler, all magnaflow, all stainless steel. And off i went to Liverpool Exhaust again, being impressed by their workmanship last time. Yet again they did an amazing job. A short while after the engine was in, i had the rear main start leaking. Yes it was replaced when i did the conversion. So another box out job, whilst the box was out i installed a 4.1kg PAR flywheel and Exedy Ceramic button clutch. What a difference! About 12 months went by and i was content with how the car was going, then i got the itch for more power. Time for the N1 cams! With the N1 cams and Tomei cam gears sourced and ordered i played the waiting game, but not for long. In the mean time i decided that i wanted to do a hydraulic clutch conversion and also upgrade the brakes to R33 GTST items. At the time i was looking at hydraulic clutches a full kit came up for sale in Newcastle! Talk about timing. So with that snapped up all i had to do was get the brakes sorted. This didnt take long, with rotors ordered, calipers bought and rebuilt and hubs bought, redrilled and new bearings installed and new cams and cam gears in my shed i was ready to get to work. The end result... an awesome dailey driver/track hack. After i got the car tuned it felt ALOT quicker, it was running very very rich in the top end, which Scott sorted out for me.

Great video guys I'd be keen to come on another cruise when the time comes.

Awesome sounds like a definite maybe to me

Haha I had a quick look, I'll have a better look on my laptop. Phone speakers aren't the greatest Thanks for everyone being well behaved too. Was really good.

That'd be awesome Matt. Everyone is more than welcome to join, I think there is still spots available http://www.circuitclub.com.au/page/home-page

Yeah mate, thats me Oh there's just a circuit club day on there. It'd be good to see some more Nissans. I have a feeling I'm going to be out numbered by Honda's lol.

Your MX-5 was boss mate! Would have been good to see it in full flight. Can't wait for the next cruise. Just don't make it December 1st, I'll be at Wakefield

That was Owen's car

This was probably the best cruise I have been on in ages. Plenty of friendly people willing to accept different cars. I was the one in N15 Pulsar BTW Thanks again Matt for organising it.

Hi guys im chasing a pair of either R32 or R33 GTR seats, I'd love for them to be in excellent condition but will consider everything. Cheers, Tim.
