Well if u can pick up another caliper tonight it would take about half an hour plus a brake fluid bleed!

Problem is, I don't have either and have never done the brakes before.

oh gosh, wish you were my neighbour Aaron!!!

I remember some 25GT taking like 1 minute in the opposite lane trying to over take someone, that was funny.

There wasn't anything really bad that happened.

Just a lot of overtaking. Dont remember any burnouts or anything.

Edit, I remember justin being fed up with someone going slow in front of him, so he went into another lane and boosted off, only to see a speed camera right in front of him, *slams on brakes*

Srs, that looks like some normal orange, yours is some metalic with some yellowish pearl in it. Looks way better. Your wheels too :P

agree but I would love some of those rear fenders so I can straight my rear wheels

Ide help out but I'm in SE subs. Just undo the rear bolts holding on the front face of the caliper and try and in seize it. You should be able to. Then just do em back up. Might get you to where u need to be, and if it does un seize then atleast if it f**ks up on the way u can do a quick temp fix.

But I seriously wouldnt be driving it. If the brake is clamping your going to have some serious heat issues and break something

my 2530 sees the light again! A bit dusty, nothin suss with the actuator. Its stock :ph34r:

Anyone have a foot pump with a pressure dial gauge? Want to check if ive set the actuator correctly... From what I could make from the japanese instruction manual, it says 179mm for 1.0bar. Although heaps of thread still remains. Does that mean I can go for moar? Can someone plz translate the table? Thanks

Cheers for the advices Aaron! Will give it a shot if not I'll just quickly pop into Brake Plus or something tomorrow and hope they do it fast.

It says if you run too much boost, there will be danger to the manifold

I'm doing some work with my cousins business to help him out with the social networking side of things / help getting his name out - basically it's a small online JDM car parts store and quickly building in size. Like on facebook if you feel like helping out :)

http://www.facebook.com/jdmracingau

a link to the store is on the facebook page.. check it out

also he's started up a youtube channel for product reviews and events / trackdays etc. and we'll be doing some "driver profile" type videos in the near future - so will need a few different cars / people I'm sure I'll contact some of you about this in the future!

/shameless plug - sleep time now brahz

THAT WAS ME! >.< Bloody bitch next to me was speeding up as I was trying to over take her... Twas rather frustrating... Especially being N/A :-(

As for an incident, there was one overtaking incident on the GOR itself, guy tried to overtake 3 of us at a corner, almost went head first into a semi, would have collected all of us... Twas early in the day, towards the end of the pack (obviously, me being in a N/A)

But f**k, I was driving so f**kin hard to try and keep up on that day!

Lol you know you need a faster car when you struggling to overtake a lady :P

I do not condone speeding, stay safe brahs

I remember going up to shepparton, birds saw this.

Alvin was overtaking some bogan in an old xr8, the dude stepped on it and we almost hit an oncoming car (car swerved into emergency lane)

This was in the soarer, and the soarer was missfiring because his pod fell off... LOL

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
