have you ever had to order something from nissan? i had to order a new clip for the shifter to hold it in place took 2 weeks to get here and cost $18, it takes time and is always expensive..

the lines are the same but hard to find. i throught i had a set waiting just to swap over but turns out the passenger side one was seized as the old calipar from my hatch was broken and just didnt work??? news to me...

Hey RSX84, would that be Von Bibra Nissan at Southport you're talking about? Never dealt with them personally, but they tried to rip off a friend of mine by telling her that her brakes needed replacing. She took the car there with a noise in the front end, and they said the discs are warped, and are too thin to machine, and pads were worn too. I had a look at them, and they were 0.5mm under new size (1.5mm of wear left) and the pads still had 9.5mm of material left on them.

She took the car back to one of their other yards on the gold coast, and they machined the discs for free. Car's good as gold now.

Anyway: I digress. I've usually never had a problem ordering stuff from Nissan dealers (except for the useless mob in Mount Isa, about 13 years ago). At times, they've supplied OEM parts cheaper than genereic aftermarket ones (eg timing belt for RB30)

The Adelaie Cable Company (23 Naweena Rd Regency Park 5010 (08) 8347 1944) will make custom cables. I've had brand new cables made for my Z and my dad has had new speedo & handbrake cables made for his 510 & SP310. The DR30 cables will be the same as the RMR30 hatch or MR30 Ti.

hey sorry to dig up an old thread, but better to keep it going than start a new one on the same topic (cos ppl get told off for that :))...

I'm looking for 2 rear hand brake cables for my DR30. I highly doubt anyone knows any places in Perth but if there are any leads over east then that's great.

Thank you in advance.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share.

      Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for Nissan Skyline R34 GTT or R33 GTST (front)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
