lol 747. nasty. good luck down there guys, Kel is heading down again too, looking to pick up her 10 year trophy (and I hope I didn't just jinx her)

factory tow hook at the front is very low, particularly if you are bogged 200mm down in a sand trap. I would not attach one of those straps in the factory location. here's where mine is and with the bar back on

very unlikely to be shim related, most likely you have seized pistons in both calipers, or potentially a wheel bearing issue (although less likely to happen on both sides).

Japan is a long way to go for something which can readily be made from a cut end of a tie down strap. Or if you want it in packaging the local race shops like Revolution racegear sell them. I've run a homemade one for years, there is no real downside to the longer one; if it moves around you could always cable tie it down. You will need a new hole in the bumper and a strong mount on the bumper reo somewhere.

if you get the vin we can FAST check....

there is a second tiny little stud (M5 or even m4 maybe) that it is meant to stop on next to the tensioner stud. sounds like yours is missing

Indeed....when has adding more lanes ever made traffic move faster? eg, 2 years after the major M2 upgrade: "The largest fall was on the M2 Hills Motorway from North Ryde to Carlingford, where the average afternoon peak hour speed plunged by 25km/h to 46km/h" [/size]http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/peak-hour-in-sydney-is-getting-worse--and-longer-data-shows-20160310-gnftvd.html#ixzz43UZPvpCq [/size] I was unfortunate enough to have to take that daily during the upgrade; full toll, horrible traffic, and once it was finished within a year or 2 it is back worse than ever. The only people who benefitted were Transurban and their shareholders

and don't worry, it's likely just 1 or 2 problems that haven't been found, not an overall lemon. these are well engineered and built cars, so once you get someone who knows them to sort it, it will probably be great

well actually. depending when your car was complied (or if it was), you may have had an Oz spec fuel filler restrictor installed (well, or poorly depending on the shop). these can affect how it breathes when filling and therefore make the pump cut off early. have a look at whether a restrictor was fitted, and consider removing it. I understand they are no longer required anyway

I did all mine with whiteline stuff recently, contact Sydneykid on these forums he has all the part numbers. It is a job best left to a mechanic unless you want a few solid days' worth of fun. And much harder without a press

both subframes I have here are 45.8mm long (W62925), however 3 in a row does not guarantee they all are

It's St Patrick's Day today. Double posting is to be sure, to be sure.

late 32s did have a pull clutch, but they are rare and easy to spot externally (the fork and slave cylinder face opposite directions). the gears are same on all 32 and 33 boxes, series 3 r33 had some detail differences in bearing and clips but nothing important for street use....they are effectively the same

If a 33 gtr box fits a 32 gtr box fits too. They do have a different clutch and slave cylinder (push not pull) but otherwise they are the same. Also 32 gtr boxes are nice and cheap, particularly considering how strong they are

cant help you there, don't know them. One probably handles ABS/traction control but not certain for 34 the wiper amp controls the various speeds and gives the proper park signal so they always stop at the bottom of the windscreen

good to hear. S2 stagea should have the same codes just use that, you'll tell if it works straight away

Sounds like you're happy where it ended up, good to hear How does Jez's workshop rate compare to the first shop that weren't able to put it together properly?

long gone sorry

First is the wiper amplifier

lol we both have a hope then Not to mention Neil

you used to be cool

Yeah I've used a lot of the narva stuff and it is definitely better than average....but they don't do anything that puts relays in with fuses which is a shame because it's a pretty obvious need. I try to stay away from cheap/ebay electrical stuff in the race car because it all seems to fail at some annoying and inconvenient time.....

That f**king sucks.....post up some pics somewhere because you never know who will see it at a track one day....it can be a small world sometimes. My trailer went walking too but was recovered the next day due to CCTV

I'm still unclear on exactly how Andrew Clenell performed CTP Insurance Fraud? The market seems to be a good example of a government formed oligopoly with everyone sharing cosy, comfortable profits to me. I am hugely doubtful that fraud is the main cost driver and would love to see some actual evidence rather than quotes from the insurers who are trying to defend why their profits should continue....
