theres a R30 TI hatch at pick a part-heatherdale road, 5 speed too!!!

I saw it 2 weeks ago so cant guarantee its still there or in one piece.

I may be able to drive out there in my lunch break to check for ya later this week.

oh duh... i think i have at least one in my bits box in the shed.... will see tonight.

Cheers mate, if you find the one in the garage, or hit pick a part before I do, can you grab the rear passenger side caliper for me? Ill fix you up of course. D

BUGGER! Someone poached the brakes from the r30 and pick pay and go, and there are none to be had at pick a part Kilsyth. If anyone has some, or spots them at your local please let me know! Especially the rear passanger caliper - it's starting to make horrible noises!

Cheers,

yep, got one left side rear caliper, and front caliper. pads too.

they look pretty ordinary, but definitly work.

Im in Ringwood, work 2 km from Nissco, so I can leave them for ya with Randy for you to pickup one perfect day....

Unreal. Wont need the front (mine are Hilux) but the rear would be great. You can leave it with Randy or better yet, swing by the NDSOC show and shine this Sunday at Southbank. Ill be there all day.

Cheers

I first got this horrible grinding metal on metal noise about a year ago. I replaced pads (twice), put new kits in, did the wheel bearings, new anti-rattle springs... and so on, but still couldn't get rid of the damn noise. Finally I took the car to an engineer who simply grabbed hold of the handbrake cable, gave it a yank, and the caliper clunked - there was buckets of play. I tried replacing that caliper and sure enough the noise went away. I don't know if the same side let go as last time, but when you are dealing with a 30-year-old second-hand part these things are going to happen.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
