Yeah, was thinking the same thing about QR, but I got an absolute bargain today on semi-slicks for my stock rims. Brand new tyres, fitted for $108 per tyre!! They are probably shite, but at least I won't be flogging my good tyres anymore.

hmm so we know who to blame if its as bumpy as the old one!!

i thought that road was the deacon deviation or something?

we only design it, we've got nothing to do with how it is laid etc...that will be done by the contractor

home alone tonite ;)

ahh ok... still as the closest person to that bridge i for one will hold you personally responsible!!

home alone aswell... what to do what to do.. i cant drive anywhere unnecessary as my brakes are worn and making noises. Last time it happened in the cressida the pad fell out and the piston was rubbing against the rotor after a while

OK, to answer everyone, the Deagon Deviation is the part of the Gateway that goes to Redcliffe via the Houghton Highway over the Hornibrook Bridge.

The tyres were for my stock rims so they are 16"s

I also got two new tyres for my 18's as the Silverstone shite ones were down to the canvas after some "spirited" driving after Dinner on Wednesday night. They are Nexens and were $148 each and before anyone says they are cheap crap, I know but they were CHEAP and a few guys I trust are running them as well and have said they are pretty good. I will see, and if they aren't good enough, I will get two more Firestone Firehawks which I reckon are fantastic tyres.

Does anyone know where I can get prices on Bride seats, the GIAS recliner is the one I'm looking at as it will lower my seating position and allow me to wear my helmet at track days without banging my head on the roof and sitting awkwardly.

i've got nexens on the back of my car (265/35 18's - 220ea) and yes they really aren't a bad tyre once you get over the brand snobbery. Ok so they're no advans but for the price they're not bad..

no idea on the seat question dave.. i have a similar problem, last trackday i had to recline the seat back fully sik bro croozin spec so i had room

Evening Mike!!!!!! How is Jaime and the sprog??? Still bigger than his old man???

Yup, bubs is now 7960grams so he could take any of you tough guys on. If he could be bothered getting up and walking that is.

Oh, by the way, the new plates arrived on Wednesday and they are just as bad, if not worse than the first lot!! I rang Mud and we will wait until he gets his to do something about them.

PPQ are teh suxor!!!

I'm off to play AA for a couple of hours. Working all weekend!!

Half way down are the Bride GIAS seats, not cheap at $1800 for red or $1850 for black. oh and then u need a rail, which is $240

Shit!! That is expencive!! Might have to try and find a barge-ass seat that is way cheaper!!

AA is Americas Army. Free to download but a BIG download and then you play online. Not bad for a game made by the US Army to recruit soldiers!!

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
