Just haven't changed the brake pads as I am not confident in doing them myself. I have seen it done a fair few times just don't have the confidence to do it atm. Hopefully the current pads will last the punishment. There is about half life left in the pads up front and same for the rear. I have a brand new set of QFM A1RM's with me that I will be bring out to the track and hopefully someone can lend me a hand in changing the pads if need be :D Also hoping that 3 jerry cans will be enough.

Looking forward to this track day :D

Bring the pads I can help you change them out there if needed.

After heraing Munros 33 in the wayville pavillion today at full noise and having everyone run over. I cant wait to see it on the track :thumbsup:

Well I am all good to go. Just have to fill the car up and 3 Jerry cans tomorrow morning.

I will be at the meet spot :D

i can help you change pads if you want, i've got a decent enough bleeder that i'll have with me.

just need a car jack, pliers, screwdriver and something to undo the bleed valve if you want to bleed fluid?

you can change the pads without bleeding.

should onl'y take 5mins per wheel.

i've changed out my pads so many times now, piece of piss

Is there any particular time in the morning that we have to be there? judging by Andrew's comment about the meet point, I should aim to be there at 8:15/8:30am?

Gates open at 8am, so plan to be there then.

Mallala is only about half an hour from Caltex, and Clem is often a few minutes late getting the gates open :)

Cheers guys. Well lets hope that someone brings a jack :P

It should be alright but you never know. The pad is on about half the of what a new one would be, so still plenty of meat left on it. Just had a spare set that was mean't to go in once the current pads had seen enough lol. I had no idea that you could change pads without bleeding the fluid system :D

^^^ helps a LOT if you have one of these handy (my brother-in-law David has one)

Otherwise it is a royal pita to release the pistons enough to get the new pad in. You can just loosen the bleed nipple a tad and squeeze the pistons open though.

Either way it is an easy job Krish!

Yeah it is going to be an awesome day ..... Munro's race car will be a highlight, but the big highlight for me will be Daniel's Radical SR8 (powered by 2 Hyabusa engines strapped together to make a V8) - one of the fastest cars EVER around the Nurbugring - just the sound of it idling is insane, let alone when it hits its 11,000-odd rpm redline :D :D :D

Best to fill before you leave or at Bolivar Caltex depending on what your brew of choice is.

There is a servo in town, whether or not it carries a suitable octane fuel remains to be seen.

Both cameras are charged and ready to go, though my external mic and camera mount didn't arrive in time. :(

Fun day. Really looking forward to getting back out there.

Spent most of the day running around with an alien camera and alien lens, most of my photos suck. A couple fresh off the gun, so to speak that I kinda like.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
