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.

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
