Fronts only? Is that fitted? Keep your pads?

Sorry for the q's... It's coming up on my list of mods too...

Yeah fronts only, not fitted, doesn't include pads either.

Probably could have sourced them cheaper but I needed them done pretty quickly.

uhmm before i send all this stuff off to you, what exactly do you do with compyters:D

We sell computer hardware and assemble/fix computers, setup Networks etc etc

go here for link ... www.umart.com.au

yer mechanical are probably the best in my opinion, tho apparently you can be defected for a mechanical boost guage as you are bringing engine vacume through the firewall which is illegal???

can anyone shed some light on that?

I've heard something similar...

But, the old commos had an economy gauge in dash which read engine vacuum... And the old Mercs had vacuum assisted central locking... So there is a few arguing points...

for pads strutto, see the guy at brake distributors labrador, and get yourself a set of rb-74s

if your getting slotted rotors, these are the pads to get

i got em on my car atm, they only squeal a bit cause the faces get a bit glazed sometimes,

slip runs the same pads on his 31, and if uve ever seen that thing stop, ull definatly agree they are good pads

$520 isn't too bad for slotted..

If you can catch me unawares you can steal mine strutto :)

Belgarion: could be? But still, you'd have to be pretty unlucky to get defected for that. Haven't heard anybody in australia getting defected for that. But i'm sure a cop could try it. In VIC they tried "exhaust too big".. lol

nexus9 i know you assemble computers at umart, my friend buys em off ya,

i used to buy all my wintel pc parts at umart when i was into pc's but in those days, i had to drive to milton to get the parts too

mick51 from here used to work for umart too if i remember correctly, in the RA dept

for pads strutto, see the guy at brake distributors labrador, and get yourself a set of rb-74s

Yah... rb74's are on the list... But gunna do rotors first... Should rotors be bedded in with new pads or old pads???

ann you work for umart, gotcha i know what they do..

Mate just a bit of advice for me here, if i was to head off to that field of work would i be able to get in without a MSA and the other thing. considering my other qualifications?

In all honesty cert 1,2 and 3 don't mean a hell of a lot until you take the step to sit for your A+. If you have those certificates then an A+ shouldn't be too hard.

You could still get in the industry by impressing me with your real life knowledge for example.

But I think a little more study may be in order.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
