Hi All

Car is getting close to needing a service.

What do you use and can give two thumbs up to?

I'll most likely do engine oil / filter and maybe a coolant flush to start with as I'm not sure what's been in there prior.

Also looking to put some new pads in for a daily driver brembo spec'd 03 350gt? Recommendations?

thanks in advance.

I would suggest the EBC Green Stuff brake pads...see RS73's GB...I got ventilated disc rotors x 4 and EBC greenstuff brake pads for a bargain, and the stopping has been great!!!.....

Some hawk pads on the brembos would be nice. Available from US suppliers.

As for oil, i'm using royal purple. Nissan filter. Running new nissan coolant too.. apparently the nissan coolant is good stuff.

Yep Gotta look after the hearts :)

For engine oil, my mechanic recommand me the ELF 10W-50 API SM/CF.

Very high grade oil. not bad price ( $50+ for 5L).

As syd is not that cold and very hot, so he said 10W is fine.

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
