well globalwarmer and I drive for A living doing day and nightshift, 12 hours per shift so trust me... a putty road cruise is not a fatigue issue lol. And the putty road is not a road you wanna be falling asleep on anyway. Shell.... does that mean you're in?

I'm not worried about falling asleep, I just wont want to get stuck behind some slow car the whole way. I remember the maq pass cruise was sweet going there, but on the way down being stuck behind a piece of s@$t rav 4 going 30km I didn't feel comfortable crossing to the other side. Its other drivers who make me sick of driving. I cant f**king stand driving around parramatta area anymore, so many disgusting drivers on the road who either drive too slow, too fast or just with their eyes closed.

If my brakes rotors are replaced/sorted and my fading issues are gone, I will be there.

How much would it cost you reckon to get rotors machined? The shop down the road gave me the typical bullshit about them being racing rotors being slotted n s#&t im just like ah f**k off flamin mongrel. He thinks it will break the teeth on his machine and it might cost alot more to do them. Gonna need to hunt a place down in Sydney. If I come I should be able to bring my mate who has a VW R32 and another with the VW GTI.

\your in Sydney right? Do ya self a favour and phone Penrith Brake and Clutch http://www.mechanics.com.au/penrith-brake-and-clutch-service/

I dont think you can machine slotted rotors. Doing so will remove the slots off them. Machining also make the rotors thinner so therefore able to heat up and over heat quicker as there is less meteal on them. Give Penrith brake and clutch a call... you may be surprised at the price of new rotors thumbsup.gif

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
