C'mon people, there is little time until election day, show your support - this is all about supporting those with modified cars. Anyone here?

For too long, Motoring Enthusiasts have not had a voice, legislation is brought in without any consultation with our community, and our rights are slowly being eroded. Well no more…

We can no longer sit back and hope everything is going to be okay. We need to take control of our future, and we need to do it now.

There is a movement that has been happening across Australia over the past seven months, spreading the word for the need to unite… to come together so we can present a strong, united front with Government.

Forming our own political party was the next step…

It is about unity… It is about coming together and sharing our knowledge, resources and experience. It is about putting aside our differences, and appreciating each others passion. It is about sending a strong message to Government that our Community must be respected and considered.

''I have owned, maintained and modified a couple of street driven Commodores, nothing magazine worthy but they were safe, reliable and reflected my taste," Mr Muir wrote on Facebook.

Pete, I like the concept of automotive enthusiast representation at senate level. If the aftermarket industry and end user had one quarter the influence in Australia as say the US we could see some real positive change in Government's attitude to the genuine and level headed enthusiast.

One should never judge a book by its cover but I see this venture with the potential to do as much harm as it does good. Perhaps Mr Muir will prove me wrong. I certainly hope so.

The seat in the senate would need to be held by someone known and respected in the motor racing industry.

Then, and only then, would there be a voice for us that would be given any credence.

My instincts tell me that this guy has already done too much irreversible damage and will only add further weight and argument to the hoon labellers

Matt, I also like the idea of representation, but unfortunately there are times when you can judge a book by its cover.....and my conclusion is ZERO substance!

Gents,

Ricky represents a party, he is one of 20 regular people who showed the courage to step up. We are all from different backgrounds to achieve some balance, for example I'm a skyline owner, which in the general publics eyes puts me on the same rung as the a commodore with stockies described above, whoever that is.

If there are people in the SA community that want to contribute, contact me and tell me what you have to offer. At the end of the day, we are trying to support a broad range of automotive interests along with an $11bn aftermarket industry.

If not, carry on as you are. . .

      Genuine nismo N1 rear pods - anyone got any?

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Nismo32 · Posted

      Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.

      Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
