Well I took the car to my brothers work shop on the weekend.

Replaced the sparkplugs with some platinum ones set the gaps to .8.

Upon starting the motor there was a miss.

My brother insisted on giving it a boot full thinking that this would clear the problem up :P

Turns out one of the coils was not fully pushed in place, and that fixed the miss.

During this time a rattle at idle revs was noticed coming form the Timing belt cover.

A quick look showed the belt was loose and had not been replaced (not that I expected it to be)

The cars has 46thou on the clock if that's to be believed............not.

So I want to get the belt replaced.

Any one in Brisbane recommend any one?

How much?

Might as well do the water pump at the same time.

Would it be better to pick the parts up from Nissan myself, then have some one else fit it.

How long does it take as I need to work my job around it :D

I can recommend two workshops that I have had experience with who could do this and know skylines quite well.

Mark at drive car does good work and has good prices and is also close to the city.

Autotech a bit more pricey but also very good with skylines, but they are in labrador so a bit more out of the way if you are in Brisbane.

      Damn, some awesomeness in there. What is the car with the Mk2 golf front, is it a Polo?  I'm in love with the C110. 😍 Some cool grafts, like the Lancia Jimny (?).

      Turbomachinery engineers. They're just mechanical engineers who generally studied in universities focused on oil and gas, aviation or that had a formula SAE competition team. We have an entire team of them in our engineering department... they geek out over data and performance testing. I worked with them a lot when we developed an anti surge system for centrifugal compressors ran by electrical motors (~20 000-50 000HP) to avoid surging on accidental power loss.  They laugh when I mention automotive turbochargers.... it seems they're lightyear's behind in technology due to poor funding. If you think formula 1 spends a lot of money, a single turbine/centrifugal compressor package in my line of work including the balance of plant equipment generally ranges in the 150-250Million range depending on size.

      The diff brace did not increase NVR at all. And yea the whole reason I thought getting the rear diff brace was a no brainer was because of the reduction in wearing the bushings out + wheel hop. It's a cheap mod for a big cost mitigation in the long run. I bought it for $99 USD + shipping. In regards to the sway bar - i had some over/understeer going on but i just checked my tires and they are pretty worn out. I wont be changing them til july since i'm away for work for a month or so. will sort it when i get back and do more testing. But its definitely still a big thumbs up from me given how planted the car feels now and me being able to go around corners quicker. Still puzzling to me why they never put a LSD into these cars....even the 400z. I saw this mob selling LSD kits for a decent price though it's a little more involved on your part to get it installed: https://www.tractionconcepts.com/Infiniti-Q60-R190-Limited-Slip-LSD-Rear-Conversion-p/tcxin9240.htm

      Great for thrashing on the track - particularly if it is all corners. Otherwise, it is a recipe for massive tyre wear and reduced straight line traction. -1 is plenty for a streeter.

      There are other MAP tapping ports. There's one that runs to the boost gauge MAP sensor on the firewall (over in the corner behind the brake booster). Start at that sensor and follow the hose to the plenum.
