Spotted Madaz saving my life this arvo by picking up and delivering to me up a vital brake line component that I snapped, rendering my car undrivable.

Thanks a million mate!!!!!!

Luke - no need to be sorry bud - it's all good!

Good to see Steve pulled through! If you had called me 30 mins prior I would have been able to help out. Thought you were gonna have a "boys day" for the brakes anyways?

Spotted a nice silver 33 GTS-t near my place on Grenfel Rd this arvo, BB plates from memory

That was me, spotted your car a mile away. I was just leaving motor reg with my new plates :)

thought it might have been you,,, i get to visit rego in the am... joy... more money out to my fav's

That could be me but i drive the actual car as i live south and drive the 32 :)

might have been you,, i drive in a daze/haze sometimes... lol

I work with a chick who drives a yellow fully kitted fluro coloured 33. Might of been her.

its a full on yellow car, think it has the inside done up too? someone should ask her to join in SAU, good car for shows. more girls in the club etc

Yeah mate I was, but the pads were down to metal n metal when I braked hard on the front passenger side, so since I had a bit of free time today thought I'd put in the QFM HPX front pads I had sitting around. Then I thought - well if I am going to have the calipers off, then I might as well chuck on the rotors. Then I busted the hard barke line between the rotor and the brake line, so I thought I might as well put the set of braided lines on I had sitting around. Then I thought I might as well do the rears as well.

So 9.5 hours and many grazed knuckes later, here I am.

So, today I did:

- Fitted front RDA slotted/passivated rotors (couldn't get rear rotors off - was 11pm by the time I got to them and didn't want to make the noise)

- Fitted front QFM HPX pads

- Fitted front and rear ADR compliant braided brake lines

- Flushed entire brake system with Motul Dot5 and refilled/bled

- Painted all calipers gold

Result is below

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
