DARWIN - Try before you buy, or risk getting burnt.

A man who had just bought a used car for $8,000 was about to refuel at a Darwin petrol station when it was engulfed by flames.

The 26-year-old was driving through Berrimah when he noticed sparks and flames beneath his new purchase.

When he pulled into a Caltex service station to fill up the tank shortly before 8pm (CST) on Thursday night, there was smoke and flames coming from under the vehicle, police said.

Aware of the petrol all around him, the driver rushed into the station and alerted the console operator who immediately shut down the bowsers.

By then, the car was well alight.

"Police and fire units attended the scene to find the Nissan Skyline Coupe engulfed in flames near bowsers at the service station," police said in a statement.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      It just occurred to me. The way I am asking for increasing bite as I slow down (ie more bite the more time on the brakes), that is actually sounding like less initial bite, and hence the bite would feel to increase.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      Sorry, I must've not been clear enough. On my 350GT, the pads originally on the car created dust to high heaven, and did not squeal at any time. I got new low dust pads, that created absolutely NO visible dust, that squealed when cold.  It wasn't  the initial bite, so much as an increase in braking, without extra brake pedal pressure, during a single brake instance. I had to lift off a little as my speed decreased to zero. Loved it! Now on my 370GT, I have to press a little harder as I approach zero. Not hard, just harder. I am too lazy and live in a city block with no room or tools to do it myself, so I would be paying someone to do the switch I looked at the three offerings by Intima, and one of them had a Features line that caught my eye. "Strong initial bite with continual rising coefficient". The problem is that this is on their "Trackday, Time Attack, Sprint" pads, not their day-to-day pads. Its possible that JAX installed track day pads on my 350GT, I just don't know. But I was pretty clear I did not track the car and drove the streets pretty gently. https://intimabrakes.com.au/home-corporate/intima-rr/ I'll send them an email and also check if other pads purport that behaviour.
