I wouldn't worry to much about the upgrades Anthony,

No ones going to overtake you, they would ruin the view - your car is just too goodlooking.

Matt, It sounds like that dyno reading has just about made your day, if not year.

Haha nice one, cheers!

Anyone going to the low down showcased this weekend in Sydney? was thinking of organiseing a cruise down, but because my car is entered in the rooftop, I may have to get there anywhere from 9-12 I think, which is a fair bit earlier than the 1pm start! My time slot isn't confirmed yet though.

Will be heading down to Sydney on Sat but not sure what time yet

Melisa is doing a fundraiser on Sunday at Windsor and taking the car down to put on display with a few other classic cars etc

Oh and take it easy on the roads today, was applying some right foot coming out of a roundabout with a bike in front of me and traction control took over. Gutter was looking close at one point til the application of some opposite lock.

Hey guys, random news....

My neighbour just acquired on of those new guard roller thingys and said if i had any SAU mates that wanted to try it out they can do it at my place with our heat gun and guard roller for $25 (cover maintainance and power etc only)...

PM me if you want more details, saves doing it the old fashioned way... :D

Not sure if that helps anyone, but in the spirit of SAU i thought i would chuck it out there ;)

Some more random news

Just finished pressure washing under the car and painted the calipers and rotors while I was at it

Used an old pad I had in the tool box to clean the paint off the Nissan logo and they look all nice again.

Was sick of looking at the shitty calipers and rotors

Pics of said news ;)

I forgot about the vaso/grease trick but the pads semi polish as well

Can't post pics but can text them if I had a number to send then to

If your not coming on the 8th send pics to 0434353292 mate, or just a g'day and we'll catch up... If anyone has mechanical issues etc let me know, I have a minor workshop slowly setting up so I can help others, and if it's anything tune related etc I'll recommend the Jez ;)

On an unrelated note, I am so excited about my car!! Power figure was one thing but seeing the dyno video made me so pumped!!! :yes:

^Nice one Matt..

For any one that was interested, i will be heading down to Sydney way before the the low down showcased starts at 1pm as i have to be there for 9.45am.... going to be a long day!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
