Silver NM35 spotted lurking around garage sales in Wentworth Falls this morning.

Sorry, nabbed roof racks via PM

Sounds good Dale

I'm in, I wonder if I get to try snow mode in Medlow again in the next few days?

On my 2000 C34 S2 I have Michelin pilot sport 3 from bob jane, they did a deal I think I paid about $185.00 ea. I was looking at the Kumhos as well, did a bit of research and I'm glad I went for these, we have had some pretty serious rain in the mountains in the last week and not once did I feel I was getting close to their limit even with some spirited driving. I probably have about 10 000k's on these now, I did fit adjustable upper control arms to reduce my neg camber on the rear as I kept scrubbing out the inside edges of the tyres, nice even wear now. Hope that helps, Regards Craig

Hi YDR030, Craig, Registrar from the Sydney Z car club here.

Keen too, depending on date, Sundays are preferable due to work.

I found my invoice from JustJap. The correct part number is 48520-23U26 this is the genuine part number I got from Nissan which supersedes previous part numbers. I have had them on my 2000 C34 S2 RS Four Auto since November 2012 last year with no problems, as I stated before the aftermarket ones do not fit, they are dangerous as they feel like they pull up into the taper but there is insufficient clearance underneath leaving very little angle to pivot correctly and they flog out very quickly, I had them on the car for only a week waiting for the genuine ones to arrive and when I fitted the genuine ones, the aftermarket ones were worse than the ones I was replacing in the first place, the only good thing was they practically fell out of the taper when I undid the top nut! I hope this makes it clear re the correct part number, for info, they cost me $190.00 for the pair in November 2012 when I picked them up and Dan from Just Jap was extremely helpful. Craig

I got genuine Nissan ones from justjap in the last 12 months for the front of my 2000 C34 S2 RS4, I tried after market ones that a few members have recommended only to find out that the taper is incorrect. The genuine ones only cost about $100.00 each, I can't put my finger on the part number at the moment but justjap will sort it out for you. Mine were flogged out too. Regards Craig

I had this problem too, in my 2000 S2, really annoying and sometimes felt like the car was jerking back and forth at 80 - 100 km/h, turned out to be a really simple fix, check the attessa fluid level in the reservoir located in the back behind the inspection cover on the right hand side, make sure the engine is running as it will appear full if the engine is off, topped it up to the correct level with ATF/ power steering fluid, problem solved. Regards Craig

Hi Adam, interested in the sway bars,tried to send you a PM but it wouldn't. Could you PM me so I can talk to you about them, Thanks,Regards Craig

Hi Daleo, my wife and I were heading down to Penrith to buy a new fridge, she of course said "What Stagea?"

Daleo, I was wondering how long it would take you to spot that! I spoke to the dealer about it with mine parked across the road. It doesn't have the twin sunroofs like mine and it's non-metallic paint so I don't know what spec level it is. I have been doing some work for Springwood HiFi and the last 3 times I've driven down there I've passed a white C34 heading west on the highway near St Georges Crescent, you haven't been moonlighting in a C34 now have you?

I had a similar problem that gets mentioned on here a bit, in my 2000 C34 S2 Rs Four. Intermittent misfire always accompanied with engine check light.I went to a mate who put a scanner on it which was confirmed at another mechanics and it reported something like "primary ignition circuit" or something, this was nine months ago. Changed the coilpacks to Splitfires part number SF-DIS-008 from JustJap and haven't had a problem since. In my case, it's a known problem. Regards Craig

Stagea's in the mist! Yesterday morning, Thursday, driving my daughter to school in Blackheath in my wife's Honda CRV, Rosella appeared out of the mist on the Great Western Hwy coming over the crest of the hill down past Sutton Park, flashed headlights at him but I wasn't in my car so I don't think he recognised me (Hi Russell from the white CRV). Thursday afternoon, in my car, turned from Waratah St left into Katoomba St in Katoomba and there on my left was a chap standing next to a silver S1 DAYZ edition C34 with black mags and a cannon poking out the back, parked opposite Aldi. I tooted and waved and it looked like it took him a moment or two to realise what tooted him, my silver C34 S2 which he acknowledged. My daughter, aged 9, prefers going to school in Daddy's rocket (as she calls it) rather than Mummy's Honda. Craig
