fear not...its all interchangeable. the internal changes were only in s3 r33 (other than push vs pull) but thats about it.

gtr brakes on the rear of mine now. easier than finding factory replacements....

Semis or not, I reckon if the open cars aren't down to super car times (ie 1.32) there has been a shitload of money wasted! remember the taxis run small slicks And I've got to say again, I am amazed how little track time the international drivers have done, even the best drivers will not do their best laps straight up.

It will be a problem if it is CAMS only, unless they run the event for us. We do not have the required trained CAMS officials (CoC, Stewards, Flaggies) to run an event like this on our own.

lol Ash is posessing Steve-o! Anyway.... Yes people buy from them every day Every week or 2 someone starts a thread about them taking too long. expect 4-6 weeks like they say They are cheap Expect little to no warranty or support - so make sure you order the right thing, or the price won't look so cheap. If you want the right thing, today, support a local business

I;ve only changed the drums once, and that was froma reakly old and fcuked hub. They are the same as most other drum shoe replacement jobs....fiddly but not hard. If you haven't done them before just keep careful track of the direction of pins and clips and the order you take them off. Remember to adjust them after the disc is back on so that they don't quite touch with the handbrake off. Its a good opportunity to back off the adjuster in the cabin and take the slack with the adjuster on the cables under the car. BTW why buy aftermarket drum shoes? standard ones are perfectly capable of holding (or if necessary locking) the rears when adjusted properly.

lol flux capacitors.....one day mine will see the sunlight again. stay away from the cheap willwood callipers they are poor quality and flex like crazy. obviously their expensive stuff is as good as anyone else's expensive stuff. the only brakes i would spend money on for a budget build are the ksport/d2/g4/whatever 8 piston ones. I have 3 sets of them on different cars, they are excellent

thanks for the details Trent...have just been trying to work out the best floor. ANything needed to maintain it once it is down? BTW +1 for tyre racks...take up very little space but free up heaps. I have 13 tyres on my verandah and 4 more at Neil's place.....

yay for chinese junk works damn fine on my rb30

I think it would be a great idea, we have a lot of trouble with getting available weekend times for our regular events like Wakefield Park and the Nirimba skid pan. Can you check out the cost to book, recommended max number of entrants, and who can provide insurance/permit (hopefully AASA).

Thanks for the details to Nick - I have organised time off work to be at both

I run one in the race car and find it fine.

Hi mate, Paul is on here as MountainRunner. Let me know if you can't catch him I can probably dig up alternative contact details.

lol what would I know about tyre performance eh? Since I was trying to be polite before.....you would have to be a real dickhead, more interested in what you think looks good rather than performance, to run a tyre stretched beyond manufacturer and tyre fitter recommendations. Now way do you have some amazing secrets that the rest of the world hasn't caught on to. Let me know when you find any sort of race car (where tyre performance is paramount) running unsafe stretched tyres. In the meantime I'll stick to putting the right sized tyres on the right sized rims.

ouch...love to know how that occurred! anyway...that is the hub assembly, it is cast 1 piece....you need a new one (could weld up and get a new bearing but it wouldn't be cheaper)

hasn't the tone of this thread changed in the last 7 days.

Just wanted to remind people of this post. My car (10/97, very late model S1) has the same, R34 GT rear brakes. S1 owners be careful! Having said that I am probably going to change to 32 gtr rears for ease of pad and rotor sourcing, but just thought I would mention.

Regarding the media coverage....this is a terrible thing to happen and it was covered on most of the sydney news bulletins last night. While the ch9 coverage was pretty offensive and devoid of facts, kudos to ch7 and ch10 for sticking to reporting and not taking the chance to put the boot into this community at a time like this. And equally thumbs up to the police who never made any suggestion of anything other than that an investigation was underway. No need to dwell on those clowns though, let's keep this about Tom and Gerard.

much more likely to be the sender in the tank than the dash. almost every car uses a sender that changes resistance based on the level of fuel. c34 certainly does and mine was rubbish (just changed it), all good now

standard computer is reprogrammable. that would be the cheapest option i guess

btw interesting anti-dive in the castor rod spacers at the front....looks simple and worth trying

sorry no actual detail...anything with gears in it is too complex for me. I know they add extra clutch plates of extra thickness to the centre, and that they immediately understood what I meant so I assume it was simple/common enough. my instructions were "I want it tight enough so it clunks in carparks" and it came back perfect. Same for transfer case too, extra clutch plates in there bring on the 4wd sooner which is welcome

both cracked subframes were are the same place, the main loop between the front and rear mounts, right up at the chassis. was easy enough to tig up but would be careful with load on the rear of these. c34 on the other hand have steel subframe not aluminium

lol that's not how it works. in 12 months you will be selling it and buying a "sensible, family" car hope it all goes well

At least there is something to bring us together at this crappy time....SAU NSW members please refer to the thread in the members area. Alex, thanks for your courage facing the internet today, everyone here supports you and the families and friends remaining. Please pm when one of the exec with your contact details when you feel ready to talk about how we can help
