i was in melb from friday and got back tonight :banana:

just HAD to take the 33 out for a drive after leaving it sit for 3 days :angry:

so glad im home now , got so bored at grandparents house :bunny:

we got into Melbourne at hmm 10pm (Vic time).

yeah we left our car parked at the Crown Casino the whole time, too much walking

back and forth, but it was great.

on the way back from parking the car me and my mum walked past 2 guys, 1 said

"what do i do?" and the other guy said "well what you do is ask how they are and how there

night is"

i friggin pissed myself laughing coz well practicing what to say to a girl to pick her up :nyaanyaa:

i miss Melbourne :rant:, i didn't get homesick so yay

well got all the turbo and all piing etc put back on, gave it a quick start

to make sure it still runs :banana:

only thing i noticed is a big amount of smoke :nyaanyaa:

hope its just cos it hasnt been started in ages.....

gotta tighten up all the cooler pipes and final bits ' n peieces, add some coolant

and it shouls be done...... i hope.

all this for one bloody gasket.

Has anyone done pads on the rear with only 2 of the halves having metal tangs in the corner of the pad while the other 2 halves don't?

Anyone knows if it matters whether the pad with the tang goes on the inside or outside of the rotor?

Sample pic only, off a different make of vehicle;

ahh good stuff Luke thanks....I better get back out there and finish off now.

Doing the rear coilovers tonight as well and the fronts tomorrow hopefully.....will post up pics later.

EDIT: Just looked at your pic Luke, that looks more like an anti-squeal shim that goes across the back of the pad......is that what you were referring to or were you talking about the small tang on the bottom corner of the pad?

The tab is just the wear indicator. As 4 piston calipers should wear evenly (equal pressure on both sides and no sliding pins that lock up) it doesn't really matter where it goes.

It's the thing that squeals so you know that your pads are close to worn out before they actually are and you have metal to metal contact

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
