Spotted a silver s1 C34 parked on Dunmore Street in Wentworthville this arvo, seen it there a few times now. Rego is CGB-something.

Forgot to mention this the other day, and it's far from a Supercar. It was pretty decent for its time when it came out though - I spotted an old Mazda 626 coupe in mint, original spec during the week. It was the factory two-tone silver over blue with a red stripe, had factory alloys, etc. I'll post a link of what model it was when I jump on a PC.

Batteries dying shouldn't have any effect on how the photos turn out. User error? Car looks good though, and I reckon some wheels just look better without the centre caps

I can't stop staring at the entrance way appearing like it's sinking into middle earth. Your drugs, I would like to sample them... LOL

Good work! Saw Terry today, he mentioned you would be joining.

Crap, the SAU-NSW Club AGM is on that day, and as the current VP, I have to be there. Speaking of which, more of you guys and girls should join the club.

I spotted a silver s2 C34 around 10.45 this morning, it was turning left onto The Northern Road in Penrith and I beeped as I went past.

Bump

People, we still have plenty of merchandise available for sale.

Sorry uncle Drunkan, yes I was too lazy. My car was parked in the carpark, I reversed into my spot so it was probably slightly less noticeable.

Spotted Gavin in his yellow C34 and Alex in his PNM35 tonight at the SAU-NSW tech night @ JEM.

Agreed, massive thanks to Adam, Bobby and the rest of the JEM crew!

It's packed, I'll see you there.

You'll be so much more stable now when you hard park with the wheels turned!

LOL, I love how all you sandgropers refer to every place as being either North or South of the river. I've gotta get myself back to Perth one day soon, it's a pretty nice place... I couldn't live there, but it's great for a quiet break.

I might come along, Braden. Will confirm closer to the date.

Hey Matt, welcome to the forums. It's been done before, and it will require a change of panels, bonnet and front bumper, as well as the lights. There should be a thread about it, do a search for "series 1.5" or something similar in this part of the forums.

Spotted a silver s1 C34 with black wheels parked on Dunmore Street in Wenty yesterday around 7pm, about 10 houses up from the pools.

Is yours an s1 or s2, Nick? Alex, I'll have to check if the caliper bolts are 12mm, like you mentioned they *might* be on Saturday. If so, that would make it easier, and if not then ill get some sleeves from Scott. And UAS are around the corner from me - literally across the other side of the field at the end of my street, actually - but they can be majorly expensive!

This baby is still waiting for a new owner.

Okay, possibly stupid question (mostly because it's probably been answered somewhere in here, but I CBF looking through 70-odd pages): I want to replace the front calipers on my s1 C34, and I know I need the sleeves to reduce the bolt holes from 14mm down to 12mm, but what should the sleeves be made from and/or where should I get them? I've already got a set of R32 GT-R Sumitumo front calipers sitting here waiting for me... Also, can I upsize the diameter of the rotors, seeing as I'll probably replace them with slotted ones anyway (front and rear)? If so, by how much?

Yep, make sure your rolling diameters are the same front and rear... It's much cheaper and easier to choose the right diameters than it is to remove, repair and replace the transfer case.
