$300 - $400 for callipers and rotors off the top of my head. they are roughly the same size as r33 gtst brakes.

Yeah thats about what i thought! The rotors are the same size as the R33 they just have allot calipers that are lighter and stiffer apparently.

$475 for DBA rotors.

Have a set of them on the coon and they go alright for pulling up a barge. Better than factory anyway; bit more reassurance when heavily braking down a hill.

Yeah not looking to replace my rotors, looking to sell mine as i have better calipers and rotors to go on!

FFS forgot to sign Anna out

HI BROOO!!

Sarp Mangs!

BDO was awesome. Although we spent all our money and couldn't afford the bus/cab back to Surfers so we ended up walking from Parklands to Surfers. Took us like an hour n 45 mins to get back. Got to bed around 2am and then up at 5 to come in to work >_< Running on Mother and coffee :worship:

duuuuude! epic effort was epic

In other news... today I found a camping chair in the boot of my car... wtf?

Also keen for laser force! I'll even bring my laser!... force.....

Could be keen for laser force.

Make me feel like I am back in the motherland, but in the not so distant future, when SAU becomes self aware

It is indeed. I don't even remember you putting anything in the boot :huh:

Might have snuck it in when you were playing with spark plugs. Or you were just overwhelmed by NERF gun awesomeness :P.

Now that is strayen!

I have the same type of rotor but they're designed for coons, you can get the Ba/Bf ones for around 370 from Hiro. They would probably fit back to an AU since the use roughly the same hub assembly.

I'm sure with a couple of taps of reassurance you could Nissan ones on there though!

First day at new job today. What did I do? Nothing. Oh wait, I added someones user account to the Administrators group and that's about it. Shit story about being a contractor is they pay you in arrears, so I have to wait another 3 weeks until I see some dollar dollar bills yo.

Yeah being paid monthly sucks arse. I hated it.

That doesn't sound like lvl 3 support bro... :P

You watching Conception tonight?

7pm-ish?

I assume thats directed at me?

I have cricket tonight, but I also have no desire to watch inception, so feel free to start that without me.

If anything cool is going down after that I'll come round.

I have heard of people going to engineering companys like fitters and turners or something and getting them to slot or drill the rotors.

If it was an EL or something it would probably fit. You never know though.

Get paid weekly, but it's backed up 2 weeks or something. So at the end if your contract ends and it isn't renewed then you get paid for 2 weeks afterwards if that makes sense, because there's no holiday sick or public holiday pay. Somehow it works out. I don't know.

I don't really have an exact idea of what I'm doing but from what I gather it's less work than the computer store, but generally the same type of stuff just handling some giant companies and support to 2000+ people in total.

Are you in IT yourself?

Yeah, CBF with any of that, the car is worth like 5 bux (being generous).

If Nissan sh*t bolted on easy though (worth a shot, stud pattern is the same) I'd give that a crack. I'm sure I have nissan brakes lying around somewhere.

Ahh, that's odd. Oh well it will suck for the first few weeks but won't be too bad after that.

At one stage when I was working casual (full time but as a casual employee) I was getting paid monthly, but also with a delay of about a month from the end of the month till when I got paid. That sucked massively. I'm now full time and paid fortnightly, it's way better.

Indeed.

    • Which are almost all nonsense. Ignore. Obviously enough, if it is not a porous block, then any such thing is a waste of time. External block surface? Would be a waste of time, if the block was actually porous. It would need to go on the inside, which is inaccessible, and even if the block was open deck so that that area was acessible, it would be unlikely to work. But seeing as this is all nonsense, stop worrying about it.   If the coolant is coming from the side of the block it is 10:1 odds that it is either a welch plug, or it is coming from the head gasket. Maybe from one of the coolant lines feeding the turbo, or even the heater. Liquids that leak from up high can travel sideways along casting surfaces or pipes, etc on the engine before finding a spot from which to drop.
    • Yeah rust is sadly also a bit of an issue on my car. Doubt there is many cars out there that actually have no rust in those aeas. The strut towers look fine but some of the surounding metal sheets show a bit of brown cancer peeking out from in between. I hope I can make do with external remedies and won't have to rip open the whole front end anytime soon. It looks somewhat minor compared to some shit I have seen online. I have worked on a few cars but I expect the RB26 to be my first 'engine out' job at some point.
    • Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers
    • Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8
    • Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz
