Hey mate, saw you are from acacia-ridge - When you get your car let us know so I can keep my eyes peeled to give you a wave! I drive close to there quite often.

Hi Troy, thanks for that.

Since I live in south Brisbane near Crestmead area, it is a long drive for me up north. But if I feel like going on a long cruise, I will let you guys know. :)

Gday guys

New owner of a 1993 R33 GTS-T and I have to say, I can see why people get these cars... absolutely beautiful to drive!

Previous rides are: 1961 VW beetle, 1992 swift GTI, 1992 honda prelude, 1989 Mitsubishi galant.

I'm in Toowoomba and my car is due for a service, plus I want to upgrade the front rotors to slotted rotors ASAP because the current ones look a bit screwed, so I'm wondering who knows of a good mechanic in the area that knows what he's doing and isn't a complete rip off?

Thanks guys

Sean

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
