hey I'm Joe.

originally from Wellington, NZ, but have lived in SE Melb for 7 years now. pretty new to the whole SAU scene, and fairly new to the mechanical side of vehicles in general (I can change a tyre, check the oil, do an oil change and other simple shit, but knowledge doesn't extent much past that point!)

prior to the discovery of this wonderful website, I spent most of my time playing video games competitively, namely World of Warcraft. I played in two guilds that are fairly reputable, vodka and Adept. Throughout my time playing WoW I met some genuinely amazing people who I keep in contact with to date, however after many years of slaying internet dragons and feeling the adrenaline rush of up to 40 other people, I decided to throw it in the towel and stop relying on my rich rents to get shit done.

I recently purchased my first car, a 98 n/a R34 sedan, however I've been driving unlicensed for the last 4 years (never been pulled up, breath tested once, was not asked for licence); I have zero doubts that I'll be pulled up and fined for something because, well, that's how it works right? -_-

EXTREMELY fond of Reggae music, love that shit. Mad respect for Bob Marley, Katchafire and the likes ~ recently saw Katchafire live at The Forum in Melbourne, was honestly speechless and absolutely drowned myself in the music. I'm also into rap/rnb/soul ~ drake/john legend/otis redding/pusha T, could list heaps more but there's really no point, I'd be here all day.

Pretty eager to learn new shit (I work in Aged Care as a Lifestyle coordinator, with an emphasis on our alzheimer's and dementia residents!) and am open suggestions if anyone has any (in the event that you see one of my posts and think I am making a huge mistake), so yeah!

anyway hope to build some strong friendships and whatnot here, maybe attend a few social events and share a beer or something. thanks for reading.

Firstly, welcome.

secondly, without a license for 4 years?

seriously?

I recommend you get one, then enjoy your car legally.

apart from that, I'm sure you're already loving your car.

hope you find some useful info in these many pages.

I've had it for about 4 months now, but yeah I had been driving for 4yrs without it. Trust me, I agree with you 100%, feels like smoking medicinal marijuana.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      I might do a few more high temp bed ins as described here.  I have a nice quiet 80kph road right near me.  How To Bed-In Your EBC Brakes For Street Or Track Use - EBC Brakes https://share.google/AjnOTILXoiqQnLu8p

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      I did a few 80-0 stomps. I then just rode the brakes while I applied throttle for a while to get them nice and hot. I live on a big hill and have been down it a few times also with stomps and brake riding.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
