i see that just about every1 has insurance on there cars and i do as well. now my insurance company requires a * 3 point self arming immobilizer + alarm with all black wiring .... now im trying to replace the current alarm system that came with the car and trying to find a company that has an alarm with these functions is near impossible. ive tryed BRANT and they will supply it , but because im not in brisbane or melb they dont like it because they cant give tech support. so my question is : who else has this requirement and what alarm system are you using

ok , this still doesnt work . step 1- click on other parties trader rating little number step 2- click the submit feedback for ...........( insert name here ) step 3- gives this blank page - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/tr...574&do=feedback ok ive now done my bit .. lol rono

well ive arrived in rocky , so where you guys go cruising and stuff , so far ive seen a red r34 parked outside autobarn and a gun metal grey r33 with lots of graphics on its side just down the road from autobarn. any1 else from rocky or are we all shy..lol joking oh well im here for a few weeks so you'll prolly see me out and about cheers

hey guys, i made it to rockhampton unscathed. i'll be heading to Brisbane in the coming weeks while im here on holidays, so if you's are buying stuff from Qld and don't want to pay freight let us know and i can pick it up for you... ( size restricted though ) and i'll be returning around the 15th jan... A big merry xmas to you all and a happy new year cheers Rono

so where do you carry your spare wheel now !!!! lol mate the peach coloured skyline beside your car at the show, if ya know him i love to get that colour code of him , its awesome your set up rocks to , gives me some food for thought......

there could be a few things doing this , as mentioned above a caliper sticking and no applying equal braking pressure on both side. however another thing is faulty suspension, if suspension isnt damping properly when you brake 1 side maybe holding up strong while the other is saging down causing that pulling to one side effect. ive also seen incorrect wheel bearing adjustment cause a vehicle to pull one way when the brakes where applyed. hope that some of this is helpfull cheers Chicko

ok , i live in a high humidity climate, and it's recommended that brake fluid gets changed 6 monthly... now we also respect that different containers have different moisture preventing qualities... i recommend you only get enough fluid to do your service, and never use an open bottle that is more than a few weeks old , as you cant garrenty the seal quality.... anyway i found this info doing a google search : [/color] Brake Fluids Thanks to Dave Zeckhausen : Lets look at what the DOT ratings mean. The table below shows the MINIMUM wet and dry boiling points for DOT 2, 3, 4, and 5 brake fluid in degrees fahrenheit. DOT 2DOT 3DOT 4 DOT 5Dry Boiling point374401446500Wet boiling point284311356 The DOT 2 spec is for drum brakes and is obsolete. If you have any DOT 2 in your garage, throw it away! DOT 5 is for silicone brake fluid. Silicone brake fluid (DOT 5) should be avoided because it is not compatible with regular brake fluid, it is hard to pour without introducing bubbles and thus results in soft pedal feel, and moisture still gets into your system and will pool in low areas like your calipers and encourage rapid corrosion. STAY AWAY! That leaves DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids. These fluids are compatible with each other and may be interchanged or mixed with no ill effects. Let's look at some popular brake fluids and their boiling points: FluidDRYWETCastrol LMA DOT 3/4446311Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3 550290ATE Super Blue Racing536392ATE TYP 200536392Motul Racing 600585421Castrol SRF590518Performance Friction550284 Castrol LMA is very good at rejecting moisture and may be kept in your brake system for a couple years. The LMA stands for "Low Moisture Activity". This is the minimum quality stuff that I would use in my Impala. It comes in plastic containers which do not have a long shelf life. Don't buy lots of this stuff at a time because moisture can make its way through the plastic containers. Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3 is VERY inexpensive and is popular among racers because of its excellent dry boiling point. It absorbs moisture quickly, but the racers don't care since they change their fluid frequently. Comes in metal cans so it may be stored. I would not use this in my Impala for the street. ATE Super Blue Racing and ATE TYP 200 are the same brake fluid in two different colors (blue and amber, respectively). BMW recommends this brake fluid for their street cars because it, like Castrol LMA, absorbs moisture very slowly. The advantage over LMA is that ATE has a much better wet boiling point. You can put this stuff in your car and forget about it for a long time. An excellent choice for a weekend track car which also sees regular street duty. Comes in metal cans. This is what I use in all my street cars. Motul Racing 600 is a very exotic and expensive synthetic fluid with high wet and dry boiling points. I use this exclusively in my race cars. Too expensive for the street and requires frequent changing due to its hygroscopic nature. Sold in plastic bottles. It is not suitable for the street because it absorbs moisture quickly. Castrol SRF is a hyper-exotic and hyper-expensive brake fluid that is generally used by wealthy Porsche owners at track events. I've seen prices of $78 per liter for this stuff. Sold in metal cans. I can't afford this stuff! Performance Friction High Performance DOT 3 has a good dry boiling point but a crummy wet boiling point. It comes in metal cans which is good for shelf life and sells for $7.87 per 16 ounce container. If you are even considering this fluid, I would go with the cheaper Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3. In either case, change this fluid frequently due to the poor wet boiling point. Thanks to Leigh Smith for the following information on the impact of moisture content in brake fluid : http://www.shotimes.com/pics/BrkFluid.jpgThe amount of moisture in brake fluid definitely affects its performance. The big problem is it is absorbs moisture quickly. Over a relatively short period of time brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air. SAE field tests have shown that the average one year old car has 2% moisture in the fluid. A random test of vehicles in the U.S. showed an average water content of 2.6% for vehicles with an average age of 8 years. And 25% of these vehicles had water content greater than 4%. As water content in brake fluid increases over time, the boiling point decreases. Fluid with a reduced boiling point (or high water content) can create vapor by boiling in the caliper, or wheel cylinder. The result is sudden brake failure. And water in the brake fluid can contribute to corrosion of parts such as steel pistons and ABS modulators. The end result is even though DOT 3 fluid is "rated" at greater than 401oF, in the typical 3 to 4 year old car with 3 to 4% moisture content, it could boil under 300oF. And if it has got more than 4% moisture, you may as well be running straight water! Moral: Flush your brake fluid every year or so. But only if you would like it to work well scarcely an inch away from those toasty 500oF rotors on your SHO during a couple of hard stops! Or would you rather have a squishy pedal?

awesome, 1 more member and counting

.....same here and yes the mod's do read this area, otherwise nothing would get fixed would it !

mate pm sent

well lets make a decision guys and get this under way ...

hey is there any rockhamptoners in here ? anything planned for xmas , coming down there to visit the olds, and would love to catch up with a few of u lot

probably no 1 submitted there cars for it , so it got canned , but thats just a guess !

traction is over rated at times

i know im a computer spastic , but when i try to access my web space it says this: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /members/nuffin_werks/ on this server. Apache/1.3.29 Server at www.skylinesaustralia.com Port 80 anyways when i pm prank he said it will say that untill i load something up to display on the page , now ive made up a page and when i try to submit it , there is an error saying it cant find that address or host name Webspace: www.skylinesaustralia.com/members/nuffin_werks ftp: www.skylinesaustralia.com user: nuffin_werks so any help on this would be apprieciated cheers Ron

hey guys , im asking in here so i dont start another thread in your section , but is there any cruises or events on in dec/jan planned , as im coming to qld on holidays and i like to meet up wiff some of you guys cheers Chicko

hey Ken , im going to drop into your work tomorrow after lunch..... with a new set of feet on too weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well i suggest if it does happen in what ever thread .... them it needs to be broken down into individual sections , like one for 32gtr - 32 gtst 33 gtr -33gtst etc etc etc that way you can pick your type of car and look for part numbers relating to your car , rather than having a masive list with all part numbers included. thats my 2 cents

i need an ash tray, in perfect condition, for my s1 r33 gtst manual. cheers chicko

im assuming its a manual...... - im after the plastic cover that surrounds the gear stick - the plastic the surrounds the radio and goes across to the air vent near door - and the plastic that surrounds the controls on drivers door condition and colour would be handy to know also cheers ron

Ok people, this is an idea's/feeback and bugs thread. Please search through post's to see if there is a similar topic before starting a new thread. When posting try to: - give exact problem or idea - try to give an example or show link - dont just whinge - be clear and concise - and only 1 topic per thread (so admin's know what there working on) if we can all do this it will shorten the time to fix or resolve each topic cheers Ron

haah

is there a drift day on this saturday or sunday 26th /27th ? what time and how much ?

ok mines not letting me in , when it trys to access login details , says they are incorrect.

mine is broken now to wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
