haha well the other side was rusty - and if my brakes got that good-a workout they wouldnt be rusty :cheers:

least now everyone realises im not a whinging female and their was really something wrong!! ..... and at least Cam did my rear and not my front!!

ones been snapped for a while Richie .... but it satin such a way on the caliper that it didnt leak - when they changed my pads yesterday they saw it .... its bent and snapped ... and just disintergrated when they took caliper off.

Other one is rusty and probably pay me to get that replaced as well.

And my disc were so badly in need of machining that theeir machine was "heavy duty" enough for the job so they had to take them to someone else.

that sounds like my old front brakes, they were getting really spongy and when i pulled off the wheels to get the suspension off we found that the caliper centre seals were gone on both sides.. that and the discs looked like they had ridges in them!

My brakes are good now but they shudder when they get hot cause they werent bled properly when they were changed.

yes the place said i was a very lucky girl!!!!

thats why on the country cruises i didnt push it as much because i knew something wasnt right with the brakes!

hmmm have to make sure im alright for cruise Sunday then - cos i will have New n Improved brakes to test :cheers:

well it'll give me the confidence to shove my foot on the accelarator more cos now at least i know i can stop!!

yeah got to iron out this roughness in my car .... i was listening to it when they started it up at brake place and yeah its sounding a bit like an old jallopy!

gotta get price on Redline Gearbox oil today for paulie - all 18Litres of it. Oh and i was at the brake place looking thru a holden mag .... thats all they had honest .... and there was a picture of my mechanic 'ironing' out some problems on some featured guys car ....... bloody trev he is!

haha i cant believe that you let a Trev do all the work!

I have to change my gearbox oil too, mines getting a little crunchy, i dont think that is has ever been changed.

My mate is getting some stuff though where he works.

I have still got a couple of thoudans kms till my next service, luckily...

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
