This has the making's of a classic day, the best one of the year I think. Gutted I'm going to miss it. :( We want PLENTY of video footage! ;)

An endurance one is DEF the one to do!!! I did this last year and it was EXCELLENT!! Alot better than heats and finals type thing. Stu - the place I went to included trophies and shields etc in the cost! It was BRILLIANT. I can find out more if anyone wants? Of if Mike's place doesn't do the endurance thing.

No, its no that difficult. I changed all of mine on the front for longer NISMO numbers. Its just a case of dropping the caliper off and removing the disc.....then finding a bloody great big hammer to knock the old one's out the back of the hub. Pressing the new one's back in is a little more tricky and this requires a bit of time and care so a)they are coming through square, they have splines but still can press through p1ssed, and b)that they are pressed in all the way, and I mean so that the stop at the end of the bolt is butted right up the the hub, flush. Using a wheel nut and some chunky washers is a help to pull them through. But in my own expereince the nut can get very hot due to the friction so keep it wd40'd up, worked for me, and I learnt the hard way! (2 seizing on)

Wassat?????? That is R U B B I S H ! ! ! :D

You're right - I have. And look what it came up with......

....then if you want to know where Pete gets his clothes from, search for "trendygear" :D

:eek: oh no!! You haven't read the report on those?

I think mid-range is where I noticed it most. :D

I like those...........getting passed on as my own as we speak. :D

John, the best way to do this is under pressure as manually draining will leave quite a bit still in the torque converter. You can repeat the process a few times but nothing beats it being drained under line pressure. Think there's a write up on Andy's site. Sorry, can't help you with the gasket question. Found the write up, it may help you a bit. http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/autoTrannyOilChange/autoTrannyOilChange.html

Don't get too excited, it is cracked along the bottom valence but am just about to throw it in the skip. Someone may have some use for it?

Sounds like 'caliper creak' to me and aparently there isn't much you can do about it. I presume your pads will be a little worn, nothing like needing replacing, but replacing will cure it......until they wear low again. Do a search on 'caliper creak' and some more info will be had.

Where are (or what are the plans for) the indicators?

When I first of all subscribed I was disappointed that I didn't get anything through the post. Was expecting a 'welcome' kinda letter maybe. Some car stickers would've hit the spot for sure.

Ssshhh! 99% sure it will be those ones JB. :D :dance:

Its going in day before I go on holiday (18th Oct) and will be all done on my return! Watch this space.......will have wheels by then too ;)

Stu..........cheers mate for your help today. You are a gent :hyper:

This is very true John, and it is often under-estimated I think. If we could channel all that passion and energy, then we'd be onto a good thing.
