Yeah I wasn't too great :D

Blue & roots festival was a bit of a dud... didnt seem to be much happening?? There was nothing outside, must have been all going on inside somewhere. Didn't bother trying to find out.

We relaxed in the beer garden for a while ($5 breaky with eggs & bacon and everything, bargain!) and then went and laid on the beach... weren't up to doing much more haha

Ha ha ha, when you rang me at like 1:30 I was like "She's not going to be well in the morning!"

My mate ended up the same way as you guys did by the sounds of it... We packed it in around 3:30AM... He had to get up at 7AM to leave mine at 8AM to be at work at 10AM... I get a message at 9:58 stating "I feel like I'm going to spew" LOL

Hey i live in wollongong and cant wrap my head around why ive never seen an r34 here besides tafe, and that is non turbo. i see r33s every day with smoke pouring out the back of them and what not

my question is, is it bad taste or lack of money or is it the r34 its self?? im interested in a r34 gt-t and was wondering if they arent the best choice in any way??

Dont know where you have been hiding but there is at least 4 r34 gt-t', 1 R34 GTR and 3 r35 GTR's hanging around here :S

My 1988 car was still ripping skids even with 450 000KM on the clock. No noises, nothing, used to sit on the brake pretty good too in comps.

Only issue it actually had was the 22 year old muffler had died.

They're as unreliable as Jap cars funnily enough.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
