Bought and installed a new battery today (with larger terminals to suit, and a new battery clamp to hold it in). I now have 610CCA's of juice available to kick my starter motor in the guts!

what shade did you go on the window tint josh? darkest legal? just wondering how it looks against the stock rears shading.

we went with the darkest legal shade which here is 35%- I like having a car that doesn't get picked on by the cops (yet). It looks pretty good. You can tell it's lighter but there's not a huge difference. But then that could also be due to the front windscreen being so light? I'll try to get a decent pic of it.

(sorry for butting in )

Came with lucas TWR pads which seem popular with the suby ppl

will have to bleed them a 3rd time tho, still not happy with the pedal

[Daleo]

I used those TRW Lucas pads in R32 GTR calipers on my R31, very nice, from stone cold to the hardest I could push 'em.

Get used to washing those wheels; they're dusty buggers...

Had my Nismo S Tune suspension fitted and a full wheel alignment and balance yesterday and boy does it make a difference. The car feels great. Can't wait to get some decent rubber on it.

some ppl were saying that they aren't too bad but i've noticed a fair bit of grime already

i'll probably swap them out for the qfm hpx when i've got the money or am sick of washing the wheels

I have the Lucas pads on RDA slotted rotors on the R33 and they feel pretty nice as a streetable combo. I haven't washed the wheels or the car but the reputation is that they are dusty.

Get a can of Autoglym wheel seal for your rims, then you'll basically be able to hose the dust off.

i did this today.....

i now have a rear passenger side wheel that is thinner then my exhaust!

use MR SHEEN,& save your money ,

[BoostedBarge]

Really? I've never thought of either of these options. My Stag has Lucas TRW pads and I swear everytime I have to clean the damn fiddly stocker 260RS rims..

Changed the Cabin Filter in the Air Con as it smelt like an old cigar.

Ryco RCA113P or Wesfil WACF0009 $15 cost, now smells like a new car(almost)

Last night finished fitting new tie rod ends to the Stagea. This morning had a full wheel alignment done.

Saturday the Stag gets a brake upgrade ... Sumitomo 4 pot calipers and 297mm rotors ... Lucas pads

Went and played up in the snow today

[briggsey]

put in my tranny cooler, hard suction line to turbo, turbosmart BOV (couldnt be bothered with having to plumb back the standard BOV) and also dropped the front drive shaft,

definatly fun times being RWD but pretty just doing it to make it easier for when i get it tuned soon,

[bubba]

Sorry no pics yet

But I did figure out why my VCT wasn't working.. need to get it tuned again but WOW, it's no longer a laggy piece of shit
