ill try this again as i accidentally posted in vic post your ride thinking i was in wasteland >,<

parts left japan on monday according to rhdjapan and i come home today and they have arrived :S

thats faster than aus post can do from syd -> melb!

auspost took 8 days to deliver some brake pad shims to qld. wtf is this. lol.

lol!

best ive had within aus is from project mu

about 6pm i ordered some pads and shims - they arrived the next day before lunch!

and im pretty sure they are in qld too!

gsl was it?

yeh, i ordered something, they sent me the wrong item, so i had to send them back.

Hey gais, long time. Got back from o/s last night, was hectic, will post some pics soon.

I was reading up on them earlier, apparently they give more protection than they do aerodynamic assistance. Some manufacturer did wind tunnel tests and found little to no aerodynamic change, whilst people have been in crashes with them and claimed that the hump levels out your back with the back of your helmet - therefore less pressure on / chance of hyperextending your neck in a fall.

All this and to add, in race suits they carry a bladder for water. The influence of this in a fashion sense would contribute to modeling road jackets the same way.

Usually guys who are wearing them on an underpowered bike are just preparing for their upgrade :) A lot of stuff on a bike is mainly for looks, I think it looks good if you match it right.

Congrats on the DRZ Leigh, looks like you were down my way! My friend had one and we used to got chasing rabbits in Westerfolds Park, rad fun :P

yeh.

bought pad shims because my rear pads were squealing.

my pads stopped squealing already though. so i'll keep them for next pad change, how much were those remsas?

Were $140 a pair for the fronts and about $70 for the rears i think

:D Was that you on mountain hwy a few days ago?

Alv - now that you're an eastern suburbs kid, have you tried Rich Mahas yet? I know it looks like shit, but this beef curry is decent and there's no better roti in Melbourne.

    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
    • Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory 
    • well mate, while I hear your pain, turns out I don't feel it this time! Must have been a bastard of a job crammed into the boot The tank was very empty (probably pumped out, not dropped and drained because there were some fumes still) and in very good condition internally. I'm sure he never ran e85 in it I don't know what the hell Nissan's fuel tank engineers were thinking about their clipping system, this hanger was really hard to get moving but came out in the end All looks very good (as I'm starting to hopefully expect) and Matty was right it is an 023 (044) bosch which should be plenty for the injectors and turbo
