ill try this again as i accidentally posted in vic post your ride thinking i was in wasteland >,<

parts left japan on monday according to rhdjapan and i come home today and they have arrived :S

thats faster than aus post can do from syd -> melb!

auspost took 8 days to deliver some brake pad shims to qld. wtf is this. lol.

lol!

best ive had within aus is from project mu

about 6pm i ordered some pads and shims - they arrived the next day before lunch!

and im pretty sure they are in qld too!

gsl was it?

yeh, i ordered something, they sent me the wrong item, so i had to send them back.

Hey gais, long time. Got back from o/s last night, was hectic, will post some pics soon.

I was reading up on them earlier, apparently they give more protection than they do aerodynamic assistance. Some manufacturer did wind tunnel tests and found little to no aerodynamic change, whilst people have been in crashes with them and claimed that the hump levels out your back with the back of your helmet - therefore less pressure on / chance of hyperextending your neck in a fall.

All this and to add, in race suits they carry a bladder for water. The influence of this in a fashion sense would contribute to modeling road jackets the same way.

Usually guys who are wearing them on an underpowered bike are just preparing for their upgrade :) A lot of stuff on a bike is mainly for looks, I think it looks good if you match it right.

Congrats on the DRZ Leigh, looks like you were down my way! My friend had one and we used to got chasing rabbits in Westerfolds Park, rad fun :P

yeh.

bought pad shims because my rear pads were squealing.

my pads stopped squealing already though. so i'll keep them for next pad change, how much were those remsas?

Were $140 a pair for the fronts and about $70 for the rears i think

Alv - now that you're an eastern suburbs kid, have you tried Rich Mahas yet? I know it looks like shit, but this beef curry is decent and there's no better roti in Melbourne.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
