Heres a mini flex at the Skid Pan. Heavy Duty springs dont enable a lot of flex but i dont mind because flex isnt good for gravel drifting:)

[nissannewby]

The all wheel and traction control system in that thing was rather impressive.

So lucas when are you gonna show up at one of these meets? It would have been an absolute pissa if you were at AB's for healys ride.

[Alitis007]

Did you bloke do a few neutral jobs in it on the way back to the airport mate?? Lol

[Trolatron]

Hey Trolatron,
Just got back from another little arvo cruise. Went from Reservoir Drive through to Deep Creek Rd and through the skid pan into Oldina. Theres been a heap of slashing and clearing in Oldina, they've even graded a few tracks along the powerlines. We drove down the track that comes out right near the old Noel Jago picnic area and it was nice and graded.

We gota catch up soon and show me some of these tracks.I may have been on them befor but I dont know names of tracks and places much.

[Trolatron]

Have you had a go on the ramp behind Auotbarn .

[Winnie]

[Winnie]

I think no bar and no steps makes your car look real high, which makes those tyres look bigger...... I liked it better without the bar.

[NissanGQ4.2]

Only seen the pic the other week, think I can find it know!


I can't even decide on a daily driver, been looking for the last few week or 2 and I keep looking at other Patrols!!!!!! :(

Should of sold the kids and kept the bike *L*

[taslucas]

hahaha too true. I scored a VT commonbore for $1200. It has: Rego, $2200 of reco heads still under warranty with receipts, brand new windscreen, 17" wheels, pretty neat. Bargain lol

[NissanGQ4.2]

good find, yeh I have 3500 2 spend, but only want a cheap run about less I spend on the run about the more I have for fixing up the GQ. Don't mind a few scratches on a cheap run about but have seen heaps of cars with very bad sun-fade and not interested in buying something like that

[taslucas]

Geez!!! 19 months since this thread was posted in... And it was about commodores!!! Haha....
Well I guess it's safe to say the mortgage has taken priority over any mods. Poor girl has been driven into the ground.... Hell, it's even been out of rego for the last two months.
Rego'd now and keen to get back into it for summer.

First issue: last time I drove it (about two months ago) it had developed a scraping sound from the rear drivers side (by the sound of it). The sound had gone from intermittent to continuous in a few drives. George reckons it may simply be the wear indicator on the brakes, which hopefully it is BUT last night I had a short drive and no noise....
Will get new pads early next week and have a look around that area while it's apart....

[Winnie]

Mine made a similar noise to that and got worse and worse. It was some seal inside the axle, I could not work it out so just took it to the mechanic

[taslucas]

A fairly high pich screechy scraping noise?

[pearcey]

G`day Lucas
I think your on the right track with the pads mate. it will come and go as the pads move with brake applications and some times when cornering as the discs move slightly sideways with corner loads.
By the way Merry Christmas to you and your family,we may be over your way for new year or just after, plans are made on the run with us at the moment,would be good to catch up again.
Beers and Cheers Pearcey

[taslucas]

Cool as, well I'll throw some new pads at it for a start.
Yeah mate call up if you're gonna be in the area. Maybe make it out to the back of the Arthur River this time

[Winnie]

A fairly high pich screechy scraping noise?

Yes! I'd describe it as a high pitch squeal, dependent on speed.

[Stropp]

Yes! I'd describe it as a high pitch squeal, dependent on speed.

similar to the noise from your tent on the simpson trip LOL

[taslucas]

Ok the noise was a seized slider on the rear drivers side brake caliper. But on closer inspection we found that the shaft was flogged out so im up for a replacement caliper (easier than trying to re-sleeve the existing one.
Good news is that the wheel bearings feel healthy so thats a plus.

Oh, i also had a massive achievement by finally replacing the the rear wiper blade! Geez im good at mekaniking.


Will be heading out bush after new years for a couple of nights. My boss is bringing his sr5 lux thats never been offroad and im gonna get it muddy.....

[Winnie]

Soooo......

I did go out for a cruise with my boss and it was fun... Bugger all proper off road so he still thinks his gutlux is good lol.

Then I got a second hand calliper and got a seal kit put through it. So freshened up rear brake callipers and pads both sides.
And at the same time got fresh front bearings.

But.....

On the way to and from getting the new calliper fitted I didn't hear that scrapping sound and didn't hear it on a quick drive into town another time. Haven't driven it since.

Today I got about 500 metres from home and the noise came back?
Any ideas guys?
It's a high pitch scrapping screamy kind of sound that comes in briefly then disappears. Sounds like it's the drivers side rear (the place that just had the fresh calliper put in) but sounds can be hard to pinpoint in a vehicle. The bearings where checked while playing with the brakes.

[threedogs]

not that disc cover plate scraping on the rotor
Did you put never seize on the pad pins and back of the pads

[Winnie]

Mine made a similar noise and was a rear wheel bearing.

[taslucas]

Nah there's plenty of clearance there. Yeah the pads and calliper were installed correctly.

[taslucas]

Mine made a similar noise and was a rear wheel bearing.

Yeah you mentioned that last time so I paid a lot of attention to it and mentioned it to my mate that I was helping.... He's a really good mech and seemed to think all felt good....

[taslucas]

Were there any particular conditions that made the noise Winnie?

[Winnie]

It only made the noise when the car was decelerating.
EDIT: Only did it after a few kms of driving though once everything had heated up.

It might have been a seal that had worn and was rubbing on something?

[taslucas]

The bloody patrol is cleaner than the comdong!
