Benji real cars fit Pads and Rotors..... Wtf is a hardware kit? Are you fitting a bench vice to your control arm?

The shims and clips things are the hardware kit...

Sweet, will keep an eye out for you! Be careful around Newcastle itself if your car is modified, the boys in blue had ruined the car scene up here due to the minority that spoilt it for all of us!

Not really in a hurry for rims as Ive got a pretty much fresh set of KU36's on that set of rims atm.

And coilovers etc are going in in January. From where its at, only needs to be lowered 10mm in the rear and then the control arms will be parallel all round. So I dont negatively affect handling, I'd need to spend more money on things like roll center adjustors if I decided to go any lower than that.

Come over to WA and keep me company :-)

What is the work situation like over there?

Could realllly consider it in the new year.

As for car stuff I saw Paul today and got the motor back on track. Also picked up a nice shiny catch can/washer bottle

Mjh, I washed my car today and just polished it afterwards....

do you have any tips on detailing?

Best thing you can get for detailing is a Concours 900 RO kit.

Car looks good as is just get a good sealer and wax to help protect the finish. Check the detailing thread and also check out the Waxit site for quality waxes etc

Yeah just went with a VL pump.

N1 pumps are more for higher revving motors aren't they? EG drags tracks etc

I'm giving some serious thought to a different job.

The one I have now is good but not enough work or pay

Some guys manage to do 12 hour days regardless of how busy or quite it is an I seem to get the easy short run most days

14k maybe less could be mine this weekend.

thoughts, fears, loan??? haha

I could very well be wrong but don't GTR's have a BNR prefix for the chassis number?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.

      Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.

      The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
