ahh good stuff Luke thanks....I better get back out there and finish off now.

Doing the rear coilovers tonight as well and the fronts tomorrow hopefully.....will post up pics later.

EDIT: Just looked at your pic Luke, that looks more like an anti-squeal shim that goes across the back of the pad......is that what you were referring to or were you talking about the small tang on the bottom corner of the pad?

the little small metal thing that hangs out bellow the caliper is what im trying to show.

Was that all you need?

did anyone else turn the aus top gear off before it finished?

i thought it sucked and the people they got to host the show were crap :D

i actually didn't mind it the track they used and camera angles were crap but on the whole the show wasn't to bad of a rip

one of my all time favourites.

I was looking for one for ages. never found a clean enough example for sale.

I ought to stop browsing carsales it keeps tempting me to sell up, but the thought of selling up is too heartbreaking! lol

The tab is just the wear indicator. As 4 piston calipers should wear evenly (equal pressure on both sides and no sliding pins that lock up) it doesn't really matter where it goes.

It's the thing that squeals so you know that your pads are close to worn out before they actually are and you have metal to metal contact

Yeah all good now, thanks boys.

I want 350kw :D

Well Chad, you better hurry up and find someone to do a turbo upgrade for both of us if you want that sort of power :D

drive more :miner: !

Hmm ...

Collected from importers in Sydney ... had 32,000kms on the clock then ... drove it back to Adelaide!

Drove it to Wagga Wagga and Canberra and back to Adelaide a month or so ago.

Driven to work every day and cruises on weekends.

Driving it this Thursday to the Phillip Island MotoGP for the weekend.

I'm racking up the mileage ... how about you? :P

    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
