well globalwarmer and I drive for A living doing day and nightshift, 12 hours per shift so trust me... a putty road cruise is not a fatigue issue lol. And the putty road is not a road you wanna be falling asleep on anyway. Shell.... does that mean you're in?

I'm not worried about falling asleep, I just wont want to get stuck behind some slow car the whole way. I remember the maq pass cruise was sweet going there, but on the way down being stuck behind a piece of s@$t rav 4 going 30km I didn't feel comfortable crossing to the other side. Its other drivers who make me sick of driving. I cant f**king stand driving around parramatta area anymore, so many disgusting drivers on the road who either drive too slow, too fast or just with their eyes closed.

If my brakes rotors are replaced/sorted and my fading issues are gone, I will be there.

How much would it cost you reckon to get rotors machined? The shop down the road gave me the typical bullshit about them being racing rotors being slotted n s#&t im just like ah f**k off flamin mongrel. He thinks it will break the teeth on his machine and it might cost alot more to do them. Gonna need to hunt a place down in Sydney. If I come I should be able to bring my mate who has a VW R32 and another with the VW GTI.

\your in Sydney right? Do ya self a favour and phone Penrith Brake and Clutch http://www.mechanics.com.au/penrith-brake-and-clutch-service/

I dont think you can machine slotted rotors. Doing so will remove the slots off them. Machining also make the rotors thinner so therefore able to heat up and over heat quicker as there is less meteal on them. Give Penrith brake and clutch a call... you may be surprised at the price of new rotors thumbsup.gif

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
