rotors are brand new mate

This is pretty much what it's doing.... when the wheel is straight, it doesn't do it (well, it used to, but doesn't seem to any more) only does it when the steering wheel is slightly offcentre, and to the right

i now have another problem, that i am getting very stressed about, due to there being a track day on saturday that i REALLY want to make it to.... there is a noise coming from what seems to be the front left wheel. at first i thought it might be a stone in the tyre - nope. what it sounds like, is a 'plasticky-sounding' clicking/whirring/grinding noise that increases/decreases with wheel revolution, only seems to start once the car has warmed up (i.e. doesn't do it first thing in the morning). I dropped into my suspension place on the way to work this morning, and he seemed to think everything is fine, and that its just a high spot in the pad or rotor that rubs at a certain point.... now, i've heard what he's describing before, and it sounds nothing like that, and the other thing that makes me think its not that, is that the noise is still there when you're using the brakes (i.e. if you left foot brake and still drive along, its still there etc) now, this has me stumped, and fairly worried... HELP!!!!

i prefer not to take an absolutely fine car and then proceed to have no mechanical sympathy and thrash/root the crap out of it... (which is what drifting is)

problem with my loose mirror solvered... thanks Matt! while i was in there i also fixed my window guides... my window no longer rattles around, and also put a new switch in

pads are ferodo DS2500's front and rear... nah, didn't get the calipers rebuilt, however, we tested them when we had the pads out... all the pistons are moving freely and working correctly etc, dust boots seemed fine. so we didn't see any need to rebuild them. HOWEVER i now have another problem, that i am getting very stressed about, due to there being a track day on saturday that i REALLY want to make it to.... there is a noise coming from what seems to be the front left wheel. at first i thought it might be a stone in the tyre - nope. what it sounds like, is a 'plasticky-sounding' clicking/whirring/grinding noise that increases/decreases with wheel revolution, only seems to start once the car has warmed up (i.e. doesn't do it first thing in the morning).

does bolger ever have a good line? meh, anyone feel like giving me a drive at one of these events?

I'll come to this one, will probably be a bit late (be there around 7:30) as i finish work at Toowong at 7:15... will stop in for dinner with you guys on my way home!

what sort of condition? gutter rash doesn't matter too much, as long as its not great big huge gouges that can't be balanced out. also, are there any buckles in them etc? where in bris are you located?

unfortunately i can't make the tuesday one due to work, so i'm going to have to make do with the SAS

will do when i get home... i'm going on a big rejuvenation spree on the car at the moment... pulled half the dash apart the other day to find some rattles etc.... found a old cd behind the dash from the previous owner (2 years ago ) also found a frequency adapter that wasn't being used, from where someone had adapted the standard head unit to australian radio frequencies pulled about 15-20 metres of unused cables/wiring out of the car. got a lot more rattles etc to find yet tho

comon people... anyone else interested? It would be nice to have a good showing of skylines for this sprint day!

lol, i'm not sure if its able to be fixed

is it the same as this kit? http://www.bn-sports.co.jp/2door/32_skyline.html

someone saw you coming... wasn't Mercury Motorsport was it? Wouldn't surprise me if it was

hrm, i'd be interested in coming and having a look at it at some stage.... pm me what sort of figure you are after, as i need something to drive to work... i'm getting too paranoid to leave the skyline out and about any more...

oi! i asked first!

hi GTAUTO (sorry, don't know ur name ) when will the dyno be up and operational? I'm looking to get my car on a dyno probably thursday or friday of next week (or even saturday morning) to check my mixtures before i take her out to QR... will you be up and running by then?

*sigh* i just want to get everything done before i head out next weekend, i doubt i will though! so far my list is: Get another wheel nut... i'm missing 1 New Engine Oil (Undecided what to use yet) New Oil Filter (Ryco) New Spark Plugs (NGK Coppers) Clean Air Filter New Gearbox Oil (Redline) New Diff Oil (Redline) Flush/Bleed Brake Fluid (RBF600) Fix Brake Problem (THIS ONE IS A BIG MUST!!!!!) Fit new Steering Rack Ends Get Wheel Alignment / Get suspension check to make sure all in good order Fit New Swaybar Link Pin Bushes Get Tyres/Rims Make Exhaust (90 degree bend that dumps before the cat ) Dyno Tune to check mixtures Try and get Knock Detector to listen to while racing Smaller Battery? (shave some more weight off) Fit Oil Catch Can Does anyone want to help me?

*sigh* you're making me have evil thoughs about stripping mine down and doing a ground-up rebuild...

what would it need to get roadworthy?

rex's.... what rexes? oh, you mean that little tiny dot in our rear view mirrors? pulled half my interior out today in preparation.... also took about 5kg of useless wiring out.... can actually feel the difference just driving around

I had a look on Nengun... its like $550 delivered for a set of carbon fibre electric ones

thanks for that Baron.. the reason i was asking is i'm getting sick of my stockers, and my lefthand one is falling apart anyway.. rattles/shakes like a mofo...

lol, the style? or the quality of them?
