I don't need the car for a daily driver, so no real urgency, other than definitely need it back on the road for Sunday. I started tonight with the rears.

But had a silly thought that K-Mart might carry them, so I'll check tomorrow night. Or might even check Autobarn in the city tomorrow.

Thanks anyway, inark.

Sorry I was wondering if you had something special.

Spanner goes over nipple, plastic pipe goes onto nipple.

Spanner opens nipple, person 2 pushes brake, brake fluid goes down pipe to bottle.

Spanner closes nipple

Value approx 10c

Or am I still confused?

My process is generally:

Spanner goes onto nipple, pedal pusher pushes pedal down a little, fluid goes onto ground, nipple closed, repeat.

Dont push the pedal far, no further then you would even under heavy braking. The M/C seals dont like being pushed where they have never been, reaction pad or whatever its called might be damaged. Keep fluid levels up.

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
