hey buddy, good to have another line in town.

im based in bathurst, but theres not really anywhere to take your car. its V8 town remember.best bet would be to make the journey to the eastern suburbs, sydney. even if there were some place in bx it would be hell expensive, and probably not up to sydney quality.

by the way, im based in bx,but currently in europe.

if you ever see a metallic blue soarer or a jzx80 dark blue/green supra, give them a wave. mates of mine. both TT, feel free to show them the power on the RB26, then need to be shown.

be home in 3 weeks, keep an eye out for gunmetal r33 gtst or a JZX100 chaser. both me.

enjoy the track!

I go out there sometimes - a mate lives there and I go out there to get away from the big smoke and piss it up there :D hahaha

Last time I was there, there was me and a mate in a GTR and didnt see any other skylines

will keep an eye out next time :)

Cheers,

Chris

Thats ok, I used to live in the Blue Mountains and took my car to Steves Auto Barn. He does a good job and has 2 Skylines of his own. Its the same shop that built Buster's car.

Its only an hour from here so I will continue to go there.

Also I have seen at least 7 different Skylines getting around town including 2 GTR's and a few GTST's with front mounts ect

And yes the track is awesome. Shame I cant run in the hillclimb this Sunday........have to Work :whistling:

Thanks

Tim.

Heya 32Zilla,

I live in Bx, when I want an oil change etc, I go down to Adam Cope Mechanical, he's on Kircaldy St, which is Just off the Vale Road. (Turn left when you see the Devro sign, after the Farmer's Arms Pub)

Adam Cope's the better in Town, good for general work, inc turbo swaps, suspension work, oils changing etc.

He's honest, and pretty experienced, and happens to have a 2wd dyno :-)

There is also automate, but I personally prefer Adam (Cleaner, newer workshop)

For skyline specific work, (aka serious troubleshooting/tuning etc - Goto Sydney)

And, i'll be one of the 'lines around with a frontmount ;-) Silver SII '33 - ZebHax

:-) see plenty of peeps running about the mount:-)

(including the Ute guy that got done @ 180 on Conrod the other month.. )

For smash repair, Browning's Smash Repair have a good rep, as well as Ray Morcombes (Keppel St and the Vale Road)

IIRC, there's 2 '33 GTR's in town, 1 R34 GTR, 1 34 GTT, about 6 R33 GTST's, 4+ Silvia's, 2 R32 GTST's (1 4 Door) and a good slection of RX's....

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
