hi ppl jus wanted to ask your opinions as im planning to by a set of second hand s15 front discs 5000km old and i have a friend whoz a tool maker to cross drill and slot them for me do uz think its a good idea? can you do this to standard discs? is the performance gonna be worth the hassle of doin it? how hard do uz think it is to remove and change the disc rotor on the car?

Hi SXU28T, don't drill 'em, just slot 'em. They will crack out from the holes. R & R a disk rotor takes about as long as changing a flat tyre. Jack it up and remove the wheel as usual, but instead of R & R the spare tyre from the boot, you R & R the calliper and the disk. Piece of cake, check the pads while you are at it. You should really put some new pads in, since the the disks will need to be skimmed after the slots have been put in.

Hope that helps

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
