I'm waiting on a delivery of brake pads from Queensland... shipped out on Monday afternoon...

This is what you get for accepting their offer of free shipping :|

and not coming to me for brake pad needs.

edit unless you got them from jase then thats cool..

Grabbed some Project Mu Club Racer's from BrakesDirect, next set will be the Ferodo DS3000's for comparison. Currently just running the crappy pads which came with the calipers.

I don't think sub 2 minutes will be an issue, considering last time out there I was needing to back off constantly due to detonation down the straights and pulled out of the day early with a split CV boot. Now everything should be sorted and a nice safe E85 tune.

Can't wait to get back out there :)

inb4 next Richo

Spotted a shiny shiny silver 33r with trade plates hanging out the back and no front bar on boundary road this morning. Thought it might have been birds for a second... obviously not.

Probably the remnants of a previous skyline that was stolen months ago and is now being pieced together like a Frankenstein GTR to be sold to unsuspecting buyers

what he nothing like richo.

richo dailied his R33 for ages, prior to building it up too much, then turned it into a dedicated track car, then picking up an evo for a daily for a bit of fun......

oh wait.

How much and what size?

Yokohama AD08R in 265/35/18 arriving in 8-10 days.

$220 each if purchased now.

$250 each once here.

These are rrp from Yokohama @ $471 per tyre.

This pricing is supplied loose only.

Oldest tyre will be 2011/2012 but all is fresh from Yokohama Japan warehouses. This is not parallel import stock, it's coming via Yokohama Australia.

If you want them at $220 a tyre DO NOT WAIT, call me now with your credit card ready. This is one of those deals that comes along once in a blue moon. Take 1 or take 10 at this price

richo appears

richo stabs simon.

simon dies.

richo: there can only be one

Sorry I just remembered they don't come for 8-10 days. If you pay me on Wednesday I'll pay for a pair for you.

I'd be quick, wouldnt be surprised if there all sold by now

now.... i need some front tyres. have some 50% ku31s at home but they won't really last long. soooooo.

also in latest news, my housemate jason bought 18 x 7 +44 cr kais, the fronts fouled the calipers somewhat, so he filed off the NISSAN logo

6 x tyres bought, 2 are yours Alvin. Will PM you bank details for Wednesday.

They said they only had a small amount left but 6 should be fine so there's prolly fk all left now.

You'd be surprised

My KU31s have at least 50,000km on them and still 40% tread

You just can't kill these tyres

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
