Thanks man but i got one lined up for a lot less but its out jepps cross way, not sure when i'll have time to pick it up :)

You drifting this weekend?

No worries.

id really like to go for a skid, but i got my bill from the workshop, and yeah......

just over 4g.... i did things right the first time, like timing belt etc etc, hence the massive bill,

on top of things like harness bar etc etc

Probably has been asked and answered a million times on here, but what are some of the better places in Adelaide I can get some good brake pads fitted?

your garage. lol. workshops charge through the arse. i was a bit baffled by the 4 pot calipers first time, but theyre pretty simple.

What car is this for, if it is a skyline they really are very simple. If you want give me $20 and i'll show you how they are done so you don't have to pay $20 ever again (although a workshop would charge you 3 times that).

+1 for QFM pads .... but even if it just for a street car I would go for HPX's - had some on my R34 and loved them.

Changing the pads yourself is a piece of piss - only very basic mechanical skills/tools needed. In fact you could figure it out yourself .... but easier if you get someone to show you how to do one.

So are most of the pads purchased off eBay or from an online retailer? Or can you actually buy them in Adelaide?

And I'm not planning to track the car in the forseeable future.

In terms of installing it, I'd be happy to do it with some help now that it doesn't seem like such a difficult procedure. I'm quite timepoor at the moment and being clueless doesn't help lol

Pads from Here

Rotors from Here

managed to snap a Sidchrome 1/2 drive med extension.

My mate snapped his Sidchrome doing the same thing, Kincrome with a jack handle slipped over the end took it all and asked for more.

Also loving the QFM's on the 33, they're A1RM though.

oh yep loving the QFM A1RM's atm......had lucas pads in there before and they went ok on the track day.....except brake fade on the last hot lap of the day....so not too bad IMHO......i still use the lucas pads for on the street.....i will take the qfm's out once the track day is finished and throw my lucas back in for street :cool:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
