Wow what an overwhelming response... called GSL Rallysport and got the right ones Confirming yes they are 1399 for s2 that is all - lock or delete

just need to confirm (i know this should be in the brake section >>http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Stagea-Brakes-t82083.html<< but i need an urgent reply) r31 rear pads (1144) fit a series 2? everytime i mention 1399 to any spare parts here their face screws up like they have eaten a lemon. the above brake thread has proven usefull if i want to put gtr brakes on but no real confirmation of the partnumber i need. i mentioned the 1399 to my mechanic to order in and they will not fit an "unknown part" to a "special vehicle" they asked nissan and the boffins there think (not know for sure) that the genuine replacements will be ex japan, cost $300 , and be here in 2 weeks. i leave here towing a mighty big trailer in 2 weeks... i wanted to book in the car to my mechanic (because they are the only one to at least touch it) to do an early oil change and rear pads in one hit. i also called my mate back home (in adelaide) for advice and all he can find is a listing as "stagea" 1144 - r31 equiv - which everyone stocks here but in accordance to the brake thread is for a s1 caliper... so i need confirmation of the right pad to use and which hopefully is readily available w/o resorting to the ones on ebay... this is the bit where you guys write stuff>>>>>>

Long Distance Towing With A Stagea Rs4
910trx replied to 910trx's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
went into autobahn today, the young lad laughed when i asked where are his trans coolers and said "ebay" we had a sus of a trailer equiv to what we need, and it needs to be an 8x6 - slightly larger, same height. the max tow spedd is 80kms - i think its more of a legality thing, ie you go faster and we prove you were going faster than 80 your arse is theirs. the only way to guage how it will go is really starting slow and winding up the speed as i get confident i know what is going on behind me. incar entertainment is suplied via a laptop and an ipod to stereo system we got just today. front brake pads are fine, the backs need a change soon, i'll see if i can get any up here before we leave (2 weeks) and throw them in. i'm about to go and replace the two rear speakers with a modern equiv as the last factory ones completely blew out. i went the same size to utilise the factory cradle the speaker sits in - pretty good sound from standard so i see no need to change things. the run is to mostly be highway miles, therefore moderately higher speeds, limited inclines and plenty places to pull over. i will need to renew my RAA membership and upgrade to Plus b4 i depart - just in case can you get descent walkie talkies to you can listen to the trucks and stuff ?- i dont want to go fitting a full CB radio to the stag and a massive aerial - although it would be pretty mad! i will be a slower car on the road and the truckies and other caravan drivers appreciate it if you let them know what you are trying to do, esp if overtaking etc i also took it for a drive last night in the sticks and never realised but the headlights look like a cross eyed cat - as i usually do urban miles i never noticed it before so time for an adjustment and finally a full bottle of rainx to assist in heavy rain - that shit is gold! any thing else? throw the ideas around! -
Long Distance Towing With A Stagea Rs4
910trx replied to 910trx's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
i understand that it should be 49/51 front to rear when loading thats how i did it for years on the farm and when towing motrs etc in a datsun bluebird ie you want 50 50 but if needs to be unbalanced try and have it to the front i'll try and have a sus at autobarnz tomrrow for a trans cooler i am completely limited in tools and facilities btw i'm moving back to adelaide where - i have all my tools, drills, jacks, wiring kit etc are trans coolers a universal fit? the one on there is quite large, about 30 x 15 cms (series 2) -
Long Distance Towing With A Stagea Rs4
910trx replied to 910trx's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
sorry just to add, most of the speed is at 110 at this speed the stag sits at about 2500 - surely thats enough revs to not be stressfull on the engine and trans understandably when i drop back to 90 for some sections getting pretty excited - i'm going home! -
Long Distance Towing With A Stagea Rs4
910trx replied to 910trx's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
it had a full fluid flush not long ago every type, everywhere - replaced. i didn't think about the jerry can either... i'll make sure i'll keep that topped up i've measured up the treadmill and i think as it is very heavy it should be in the back of the wagz if possible. unfortunately this means a potentially large unrestrained mass behind us trans cooler really that necessary? i am in the middle of no where, so i'll need to track one down and get someone to fit it - not likely in the limited timeframe, considering it too 4 weeks to find someone to change all the fluids! -
i have been offered a job in another state. the stag is fitted with a factory towbar and what appears to be an electronic brake controller after pricing up rental vans (folks offered to drive one back) and the associated flight accommodation costs this is an unrealistic option. removalists charge a whopping amount because i live in a regional centre as opposed to a capital. the use of an one way trailer hire from uhaul looks to be the way - one of those 6x4 enclosed thingies. we do not have much to move really. we were lucky enough to rent a fully furnished appartment for the last 2 years saving a lot of hassle. what we do need to move is: a queen mattress (mattress only) because its the sweetest thing i have ever slept on and cost us nearly $1000 when we bought it treadmill - can be disassembled to a smaller size few tv's - (tube ones) my fishing gear PC etc the missus half tonne of clothing Desk (can also be dissassembled), and plates and stuff to eat with. now the epic adventure according to Google earth in its most direct form is approximately 2,700kms the stag is in pretty good nick mechanically but i dunno how it will go carrying the load over this extended period. whether it mattersit is a 4wd auto i need some advice to whether i should attempt such a journey with the stag pre-trip checks loading advice specific to the stag or general longdistance self moving advice. sorry for the long post, but i consider it all be important. Thanks for any advice you can provide. Daniel

cost me $600 for replacing every fluid and filter possible + a general roadworthy check pricey - but no stress, drop it off, pick it up, someone else responsible for stuff ups and i live in rural qld and not even the local nissan dealer would touch it!

Cut Speed To Let Our Cyclists Live - The Advertiser
910trx replied to MYCEF3's topic in South Australia
lol register little timmy's trike he gets for xmas rides up the cul-de-sac and the 5-0 pull him up and impounds his bike for not being registered should i have to register my sneekers if i walk on a footpath? give me a break... it goes each way, respect the cyclist, and respect the faster and far bigger cars. you play with big boys - you will get hurt. agreed its a case of minorities being cocksuckers and ruining it for the rest this will "group" will only start driving a wedge between cyclists and the rest of the motoring community. and last bit of rant, will these lance armstrongs stick to the 40kmh speedlimits too - i think not -
i got my auto 98 rs4 for $10 500 - low (wound back - c'mon a 98 vehicle with 65000kms!) kms and no sunroofs mechanically brilliant, rust beginning under the mirrors (not visible unless you take the mirrors off) it is the base modle and was completely stock including radio exhaust to to yourself is about $500 2nd hand to $1000 jdm bolt on one manuals are more sought after yours is a days too with guages and stuff yep i think $13 is worth it pending mechanical evaluation by an independent mechanic also if there is no evidence of a 100,000 (genuine km) service, drop the price by $500

Windows 7 - What Do You Guys Think Of It?
910trx replied to KR4-GTR's topic in PC & Games Discussion
maybe you should have had your own windows 7 party -
i have been done for exactly the same thing in my boonga magna. was the first day after i had replaced all the front suspension and had it on the road after roadworthy. new sticker was coming in the mail. cost me $65 and made me late for my new job. Although my fiance argued i didn't because i lied about how long i was a resident on qld from sa w/o changing over my license. $65 is better than being locked up but i couldn't believe he spotted an expired sticker from a mile away - must have been the day to lok out for that sort of thing. i did plea that i was new to the state and the laws are different with regard to stickers, but didn't really care...

while drunk i assume... best speak to your local transport authority rather than advice by a keyboard worrior. get it right from the authorities - the same guys who will take it away if you get it wrong good luck getting your p's

Congrats on fixing the problem and getting married

the advantage of this is we have hundreds of various pc components around the place. we can at least do the old trial and error with different, cables and devices if we need it. its a little destressing when you are copying over files and unfortunately you click one of THOSE folders you have, and it opens, displaying, in thumbnail view a snap shot of the content of the files within or you are chatting when copying the files and all of a sudden the pc beeps and says something like "could not copy super hardcore young cheerleader lesbian orgy, please ensure the file is not read only" its a little emberrassing

for those watching at home. i'm currently trying to save as much data as possible from my hdd (have it running in a seperate computer as a slave) we have narrowed it down to being something with the startup files i'm getting all my data backed up and doing a complete strip pf the hdd, and pc into its individual pieces, slowly build it up again and see how that goes.

Big Balls Or Skinny Knob?

if you go to Bali do not buy electrical items or intreated wooden carvings take your own smokes and frangas/tarps/rubber johnies and spirits from duty free b4 you fly out the only thing you buy in Bali is a heap of rip off sunnies, shoes, surf clothing - which deteriorate after 5 washes CD's and DVD's (ask for "Blue Movies" - things get crazy) + they weigh a ton, so it reduces the amount of other stuff you can bring back in your suitcase. Buy them when you are back, if they are faulty you can atleast return them.

but you have to be in a contract for 2 years they tried to string me in and it almost worked, but i'm moving in a few months to a place with an established connection so its no good having a contract, at the moment i'm not tied to one so i can just walk away if need be.

i only buy games now because of their online gameplay single player mode is handy if you need to learn, or your internet quota is used up AI after a while becomes predictable and you learn weaknesses and faults its better when your opponents, team, community are real people who can do anything at any one time its also good when you spend a whole session sniping one guy out, guaranteed he will find you again and try an own you in another session

the humble L18b had something similar on the 180b sss su manifolds to avoid heat soak into the inlet manifold. IMO if they were that great an idea for everyday use, nissan would have put them on in the first place - like those spinny vortex things that go in the inlet manifolds you can also buy from ebay - if they were a great idea then why dont they have these things on cars already? looks like too much work to install for very little gains, and as they deteriorate you will end up with an assortment if airleaks and other problems. +1 for getting a carton of beer

Shuddering At Low Speed, Tight Turning And Aircon
910trx replied to 910trx's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
thanks for that - it is very occasional but when it happens you notice it. i'll give that a try one day when i'm bored and inspired - it causes no issues, just curious to why. your example seams very plausable i'll try that first cheers
