Ok, story goes like this. My mechanic had to drill one of the studs of my rear right wheen because it was stuck so hard. Fine, he did that.

But coming home from nightshift, last thing I needed was to find out that my brakes are screwed! Pedel travel was much futher each time I stepped on it and pedal was losing all feel. I somehow managed to get home and find the cause. The rear right brake hose has a hole in it. :) And the hole is not from stress neither. Someone obviously had to have cut it. Thanks so much for telling me too!

So the car is stranded at home and there is no way I'm pulling out the drive way with faulty brakes. I need someone to come replace the line and flush the fluid too. I'll deal with my FORMER mechanic later (I pray to God to find forgiveness and that I don't deal with it with a baseball bat).

Anyone recommended? Southwest Sydney area.

Thanks!

The only and the best by far mechanic who will EVER touch my car is ROB @ TUNEXPRESS (his own biz)

He only does word of mouth jobs and has the best rates/parts price and the most important thing once he's done the job you can be sure it's done, he is very honest. Also he has worked on some race cars as well in the past and some years ago he was part of fitz's Porcshe cup team @ Bathurst. His mob. 0414 236 699.

Just mention my name and he'll look after you. :devil:

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
