Well if u can pick up another caliper tonight it would take about half an hour plus a brake fluid bleed!

Problem is, I don't have either and have never done the brakes before.

oh gosh, wish you were my neighbour Aaron!!!

I remember some 25GT taking like 1 minute in the opposite lane trying to over take someone, that was funny.

There wasn't anything really bad that happened.

Just a lot of overtaking. Dont remember any burnouts or anything.

Edit, I remember justin being fed up with someone going slow in front of him, so he went into another lane and boosted off, only to see a speed camera right in front of him, *slams on brakes*

Ide help out but I'm in SE subs. Just undo the rear bolts holding on the front face of the caliper and try and in seize it. You should be able to. Then just do em back up. Might get you to where u need to be, and if it does un seize then atleast if it f**ks up on the way u can do a quick temp fix.

But I seriously wouldnt be driving it. If the brake is clamping your going to have some serious heat issues and break something

my 2530 sees the light again! A bit dusty, nothin suss with the actuator. Its stock :ph34r:

Anyone have a foot pump with a pressure dial gauge? Want to check if ive set the actuator correctly... From what I could make from the japanese instruction manual, it says 179mm for 1.0bar. Although heaps of thread still remains. Does that mean I can go for moar? Can someone plz translate the table? Thanks

Cheers for the advices Aaron! Will give it a shot if not I'll just quickly pop into Brake Plus or something tomorrow and hope they do it fast.

It says if you run too much boost, there will be danger to the manifold

I'm doing some work with my cousins business to help him out with the social networking side of things / help getting his name out - basically it's a small online JDM car parts store and quickly building in size. Like on facebook if you feel like helping out :)

http://www.facebook.com/jdmracingau

a link to the store is on the facebook page.. check it out

also he's started up a youtube channel for product reviews and events / trackdays etc. and we'll be doing some "driver profile" type videos in the near future - so will need a few different cars / people I'm sure I'll contact some of you about this in the future!

/shameless plug - sleep time now brahz

THAT WAS ME! >.< Bloody bitch next to me was speeding up as I was trying to over take her... Twas rather frustrating... Especially being N/A :-(

As for an incident, there was one overtaking incident on the GOR itself, guy tried to overtake 3 of us at a corner, almost went head first into a semi, would have collected all of us... Twas early in the day, towards the end of the pack (obviously, me being in a N/A)

But f**k, I was driving so f**kin hard to try and keep up on that day!

I remember going up to shepparton, birds saw this.

Alvin was overtaking some bogan in an old xr8, the dude stepped on it and we almost hit an oncoming car (car swerved into emergency lane)

This was in the soarer, and the soarer was missfiring because his pod fell off... LOL

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
