just watched the last bathurst worth watching... 1992.... we all know it. the thing ive always wanted to see is how Jim Richards bent the LHF corner of the GTR in the first place. Was there any amateur footage taken?

And was that shell ever repaired or did it get scrapped?

im sure it'll be on SAU or google somewhere but ive been searching for an hour and cant find it....

I assume you mean brake pads Jenna?

Go QFM HPX or A1RM pads - I have run them on my R34 and V35 and love them for street use.

Nope, handbrake shoes - as I said. Pads are great, already have QFM pads on there for a few years now - I love 'em :)

Gonna give JIS a call now - thanks for the tip there Pete.

I've found some places online in the UK selling drift ones, but I'd prefer to not wait that long (and I don't need anything special). Judging by how worn they are, I'm guessing they're still the original handbrake shoes that came with the car.

Edit:

Just tried JIS - no luck. Apparently they usually stock Project Mu, but none available at the moment :(

Who'da thought handbrake shoes would be such a pain?

Have you tried GSL Rallysport at all?

I'm pretty sure they deal with project mu so you might be able to get brake shoes through them.

They have always been really helpful whenever i have needed anything, and there customer service is great.

I'll give GSL Rallysport a shot. I cant remember if they're the mob I got my QFMs through or my RDAs - but I've definitely bought stuff from them before.

I did find these ones on eBay - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/150477253998 (they also do a fitting kit http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130521829126) - so that's my last option if I can't find anyone who's reasonably priced locally.

Thanks guys - you all rock :D

not 100% sure if these are helpful cause im at work and cant watch them...

theyre both from the tv coverage of the final big pile-up..

i want to find footage of the accident that happened a minute before that, where the front wheel was disabled

before i choose who to back, is there any word on what the merc will look like, or if they will even be entering? ive heard that there will be no corporate backing and people want out....

Shame cause I daresay Mercs will cream the local lads and probably give Nissan a genuine run for their money. If they dont enter, (and Im biased here) I'd consider Nissan in a prime position to win every race >:D

-D

of course Nissan will win... even if a race is red flagged early.... (just getting the joke in before any ford lovers do)

it would be fitting if the fords and holdens all had red and blue lights on the roof to mimic reality.... cops chasing nissans

Was funny, i heard today "...with the return of nissan, the "bad boys" of v8 supercars...."

you almost get the feeling that mercedes doesnt belong there....

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
