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

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.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
