Got to the pieshop late via bowral but was good to catch up with Terry and Matt any word on how much was raised?

I followed a fairly normal proceedure for bedding them in, 10 stops from 60-80kmph, 500m apart with med-hard braking, let the brakes cool for 20-30mins then another 10 stops 1km apart from the same speed, let them cool then gave them a few good hard stops from 100kmph.

I've recently made some changes to my braking setup on my 33 gtr. I went from Akebono Street pads to QFM A1rm with new penrite HPR fluid, slotted rotors and a cusco master stopper as when i was bleeding the brakes i noticed about an inch of flex in the cylinder/firewall region. At first the brakes were great, the improvement was amazing, they were rather noisy and about as dusty as my HC+ i ran on my S13. I then decided I'd go for a spirited drive on Macquarie Pass late one evening and that's when they showed their true colours. I'd done about 350km on the new pads just casually driving, nothing strenuous, but on Mac Pass by the Fifth corner on the downhill the pads we done, the smell was terrible and started to make me feel sick. Ended up rolling down the rest of the way in 2nd and sat at the bottom cooling them off for a good 20-30min whilst talking to a mate. After they cooled off I went for the uphill run, they lasted a tad longer but from the start they were noticably different. The Pads appear to now be permanently changed. The car doesn't stop as well as it used to and the initial bite of the pad is gone. Pedal effort has increased as well. I think I'll be going back to Mu Pads, maybe mx72's. I think the A1RM pads would probably be better in a car with less weight like a Silvia but I honestly can't recommend them for a Skyline or at all for spirited driving and now I definately won't be trying them on the track. On a positive note GSL Rallysport where i got the pads from were great to deal with from a customer service point of view and I'll be using them again to get pads from, just a different brand....

Hi, Are the mu's still available? If so I'll take them, money ready to go if you will post.

Front and rear? and are they Brembo?

So after borrowing an ecu and an AFM it made no difference, I'm going to check the fuel pressure reg but I dont think I'll find anything wrong, I'm totally brain dead on this

Thanks for the offer Dave, will let you know once I can find an ecu

Need to borrow an AFM and ECU for a 32 gtst to do a quick drive around the block to see if it fixes my issues im having. Will do all labour myself and give the willing participant Beer/Jack Daniels or hugs for their time

Got a multimeter onto the TPS, one of the plugs gives a value from 0.1-1.0 volts depending on throttle position, other plug goes from 0.1-0.3 then to infinite value, does anyone know if this is normal, could it be WOT value?

Spent a fair bit of time with this car on the weekend. I disconnected the AFM, TPS, temp sensors and a few others individually to see what differences it would make, the only one that put out an error code on the ECU was the AFM when it was disconnected. Can seems to get worse once it is warmed up, wondering if the the ecu when changing from the cold start to the running map is picking up something and going into limp home mode. Anyone live in the blacktown area want to lend me an AFM/ecu to test with for about 30min for a case of beer or bottle of jack?

Yes, all those have all been checked/changed as part of the troubleshooting and basic servicing.

Hi Guys, Appologies if this is in the wrong section. My brother in law bought this car http://www.skylinesa...-skyline-gts-t/ and has now got a wierd problem with it. Basically the car won't rev over 2200rpm(ish) under load and 3500rpm(ish) when sitting still with clutch in. There is also a random hesitation that kicks in at all rpms when it likes.He has basically given up on it and asked me to take a look. So far I've fixed a loose AFM plug and cleaned it, swapped ignitors, cleaned just about every connector in the engine bay, moved the JECS injector resitor pack away from the turbo manifold (as it was getting bloody hot), re-earthed most of the engine bay. Earthed his bosch fuel pump to the chasis, checked the ECU in diag mode got the "55 all fine", checked for boost leaks (found two hose clamps loose) and scraped most of the skin off my hands with no improvement I've spent hours googling the crap out of this and am coming up blank. help is appreciated guys.

pics? still available?

catback still available?

Damn you!! Want to trade me your old R33 GTR back + a hug for it? There is a difference between wanting and needing a new house but I think Amanda would kill me if I bought it To any potential buyers, Matt and Terry's cars are always immaculate and amazing, these guys love thier cars and really look after them.

Is a list of guests or tables going to be put up? Would be nice to know if our payments were received and if we actually got a spot, I know I didn't get a reply PM to say my booking was confirmed.

I came accross this a couple of weeks ago, thought that you guys might be interested in the read. Goes into great detail about pumps, clearances/tolerances and failures. http://www.skylife4ever.com/2011/01/real-problem-with-rb26-oil-pump.html

Hi Mate, the GTR is still offroad and won't be going to all japan day, I have a rb30 block that will be making a new home in it

Paid for 4 tickets, PM'd you with names Reference "Dinner Kyle Murphy"

Hi, know the thread is a bit old but i was wondering about the engine damper. Is it still available? and was it ever fitted to the car? I've been looking for an R34 gtr damper for ages.

Can anyone make a suggestion for a place they've had experience with?

Hi Guys, need a cheap respray done on an r32 gtst, just in the stock wine red colour. no engine or glass out job, just mask up and spray. Anyone here that can do it? or can recommend a place? trying to keep it as cheap as possible, not overly fussed if its acrylic or twopack. I'm in the Blacktown area but will happily take the car further abroad for a good price. - Kyle

I read in HPI mag one of the collumists said they were the best handling fwd drive apart from a type R. Don't know if thats much to brag about but ive driven my mates GPX a few times and it's actually pretty good for an NA fwd car.

You might want to try www.r31skylineclub.com I've got a 1990 R31 GXE sedan in my garage, it's auto and out of rego though, can sell cheap if you're interested.

Hi Guys Sorry if this is in the wrong section, have been attempting to pull out the stereo in my GTR and after pulling out the rear bracing and supports ive found some wires that I can't Identify. The Blue wire that goes into a loom and a black plug that wasnt attached to anything. Any help would be great
