  1. 218rwkw on std turbo/cooler? Are you serious?
  2. From memory for my 33 gtst it was ~$180 for the master cylinder and ~$400 for all for calipers overhaul with new seals etc. But then again after having 2 seal kits put on my master cylinder (by 2 diff brake "specialists") i ended up requiring a brand new cylinder from nissan japan coz the seal kits did absolutely nothing (as in couldnt even get enuff pressure to reverse out of mechanic garage). That's just my personal experience though...
  3. Here is the full list that UAS does. # Systems Check, reset memory, check all sensors and check for any fault codes. # Systems cleaner, (pressurized can with long bendy hose inserted in various locations to clean carbon build up in plenum chamber and tops of valves and ports as well as PCV and throttle body (s) # Online injection clean. # New Iridium Spark Plugs. # Compression test. # Water Pump. # Thermostat # Cam belt # Drive belts. # Oil Filter # Fuel Filter # Check cam and crank seals for leaks usually OK # Check cam belt pullies. # Check electrics, exhaust, suspension. Coolant hoses. # Gear oil 75w- 90 or if auto trans service extra $100. # Engine, gearbox and power steering get Uniglide treatment. # Clutch and brake fluid flushed and bleed. # Radiator and engine flush. # Clean and treat battery terminals. # Clean terminals to injector plugs, ignition coils. # Spray lubricant on throttle linkages and other. # Check and adjust water sprayers and additive used # Lubricate door hinges and strikers, bonnet latch, boot hinges, aerial mast. # Check and tighten sub frame and suspension and cross member bolts etc. # Tyre pressures checked and corrected. # Air filter replaced or if performance filters cleaned and re oiled. Of that the only things i'd "professionally" need done (or havent been done within the last 10,000km/6mths are: # Systems Check, reset memory, check all sensors and check for any fault codes. # Systems cleaner, (pressurized can with long bendy hose inserted in various locations to clean carbon build up in plenum chamber and tops of valves and ports as well as PCV and throttle body (s) # Online injection clean. # Compression test. # Water Pump. # Thermostat # Drive belts. # Check and tighten sub frame and suspension and cross member bolts etc. So that's 26 jobs down to 8 (unless you've never had a mechanic touch your car over the past 6-12mths in it's 10yr life which is highly doubtful) of which half are just 'checks' and the other half are straight forward work or 'if required' jobs. Maybe you should take a closer look (or ring around and find out exactly what they do) then work out what you can do yourself and whatelse actually 'needs' to be done. Then re-ring places and get a quote on just those jobs and I believe the price would atleast halve (or atleast your local john smith mechanic could do).
  4. You can do easily 50-75% of it yourself. Do that first and then take it to a specialist.
  5. DBA4000 Slotted = $800-900 (all 4) RB74 front pads = $150 Bendix rears = ~$75 (guess) Front braided lines = ~$550 Caliper overhaul = ~$500 (guess) Ringup www.racebrakes.com.au and ask them, they know their shit.
  6. Regardless of road, hwy, public carpark etc I just always thought it was the local Council.
  7. Are you an importer?
  8. I'd be going for complete aftermarket if I had 300awkw, i've lost my brakes at only 180rwkw (trackday tho so alittle different) and i'd rather have overkill brakes than 'just enuff'. Calipers, rotors, braided lines. Standard master cylinder might need new seals and fresh fluid. I'd be putting aside a solid $2.5k
  9. Looks neat, isn't this about the 3rd time this car has been posted for sale?
  10. Is it the RTA or Council you take the quote to ?
  11. 2rismo has a NOS setup on his RB25DET.
  12. www.nismo.com.au
  13. www.uas.com.au sell them brand new...
  14. Yup start with the basics and get some good sticky rubber first of all.
  15. Yum, looks very nice !
  16. be careful, she bites !!!
  17. I believe it is a S2 turbo/engine. S2 rear wing The rest is S1
  18. From memory it cost me about $125-150 -just- to get an ex cam gear fitted & dyno tuned Well worth the extra.
  19. Yup you can still hear them on a scanner. Always interesting in the local 'bad' areas on a fri/sat nite.
  20. Yup pics would be nice....
