How the hell are you supposed to get the front discs off? Have tried just about everything, going to try again tomorrow. Striped the treads out of the tapped helper pry holes too If it comes to it I'm going to take the hubs of with the discs attached and tap the hub through, I'd rather not do this, so does anyone have any suggestions? Not only this one side is majorly complicated by the fact that one of the caliper bolts has snapped, it's rusted into the upright are will NOT budge. Pi55ed off again. Cheers, Jezz.

My supposed stainless steel ones have rusted through. Anyone got a good set of them for sale, prefer nearly new or new

Want to upgrade my brakes as I find the stock ones on the imports a bit crap. Been told you can get skyline ones which are infinitely better and bolt them staight on. Does anyone have any at all

HELP. I need someone who can solder, and preferably who has done it before, to do the import bulb mod for me. I want to replace the crap jspec dip beam bulbs that are in my 300 with somethign more powerful. A couple of candles would be brighter I think. I dont have a soldering thingy, have never done any soldering and really don't think it is a good idea for me to try. Please can someone email me on jvnewcomb1961@yahoo.co.uk with a price to supply two modified and higher power bulbs to fit it. Thanks JN

New Brembo confusion Hi all I have just had my new Brembos delivered but am confused as to which side is which. The disks are not stamped left or right hand, only says left or right on the box.

I have emailed the supplier and confirmed that the indicated left and right hand is as you sit in the car. Has anybody fitted cross drilled disks and can confirm t…
