Hi Peeps Just changed discs and pads all round on my GT for the first time since it's been in my ownership. I noticed my NS/F was missing the spring AND a slider that goes through the pads. Then... I got to the rears and they were both complete HOWEVER... ffs.. The retaining pins gave me gip and one broke off in the slider meaning I had no pin to secure it and I can't get a replacement pin in it. Both sides did the above on the rear. I've done some searching and I can't find the bits I need anywhere!!> 3 Retaining pins 3 sliders 1 anti rattle spring. HELLPPP Please Pic below of the parts http://cdn6.frsport.com/images/detailed_images/281499_Nissan_41218-12U26_FS01-02.jpg I took it for a quick spin and no harm was done but I'd rather have the brakes complete baring in mind they're what keeps me from ending up in a ditch somewhere! Thanks Jay

I'd say 100/150 miles. I'm hoping it will settle down.

Ok, I have stock cats, poor fuel consumption, power and everything is still there if not more so. Car will only pop, crackle off throttle. Based on what you are saying in the above comment, is this something to be worried about? The car is not my daily anymore.

Mine pops and crackles on the over run like the one on the video but maybe a little more!

I mean it drives like a dream, just that one occasion is was rough on acceleration. Do you know of any cures or anything I can do, I mean, surely UpRev isn't the only answer?

It snap crackles and pops a lot lol. Sounds fantastic. Just weird how it decided to miss the other day, felt like it was running on 1 or 2 less cylinders upon acceleration, no codes have been thrown although the CEL did flicker once but never came on. Hmm. I've scanned it and got no codes. I have y-pipe centre pipe and back box. (cat back) The popping at low revs isn't normal.

Hi guys As above, I recently purchased and fitted my cat back cobra non res system. I turned the car on, sounded beautiful. I reset the ECU and the other bits but now the car is really overfueling and this is causing it to backfire a lot. It's also occasionally missing and I'm unsure where to start. The car goes just as well, sounds incredible but is using more fuel and it's really noticeable at low revs that it is over feeling as is pops a lot. Anyone come across this before or have any suggestions? Thanks. J4Y

As stated, in search of a cobra exhaust res or non res with centre section please. Low mileage example would be great but I'm not too choosy! Thanks J4Y

Yeah my bad. That was me...think I saw you the same evening or the next when I was in my work car going along Fostington way Walderslade woods? I had a blip with a TT last night and now my back box is blowing...time to get a cobra zorst methinks. J4Y

When can it be picked up? cheers. Jay.

Adding things to my list...Would you split the hard-pipe? J4Y I'm after the hard pipe lol to clesr that up!

I dont know how many cupras n fr wotnots I've eaten since owning mine (on private roads obviously) We'll have to link up one time im in walderslade.

On that first post you linked, I didn't even post in the right section hahaa. Think I need to learn to read also.

Haha I honestly forgot 14N. How embarrassing. Well theres some comedy for you! Haha J4Y

Hi guys Browsed around but haven't said hello! Live in Kent. Recently bought a 54' plate GT spec In burnt metallic orange (not sure of exact colour name). Having changed jobs to a more local one which means I can ditch the motorway car...A3 2.0tdi! Although it was cheeky with its remap etc. Mods so far: I've fitted a JWT pop charger...(thanks Tarmac) japspeed y-pipe (due to mine corroding)..don't worry I got it for cheap off a friend who upgraded although its nearly new! Carbon Bonnet struts (thanks to 14N) Off to Abbey Motorsport soon for the first time!(compression arm methinks :/ ) And my list of mods to buy is already a small fortune... Well anyways thats enough from me! J4Y

I'm there with a few other Japcars. Should be a good day!

One of those dildo gear knobs. Lots of drifters use them! Fair play.

Ok well we're using a method of heat and drilling.. perseverance I guess? No worries Darren. Hopefully we crack it this weekend!
