Firstly, welcome and congrats on a great new ride! We're a really friendly bunch down here so I'm sure you'll have no trouble fitting in.

I'll let the other guys handle the other questions, but I assure you, the plice treat us better here than anywhere else in Australia.

Just last month we had a night meet and a couple of cops came down, lit up a smoke next to us and chatted for about 15 minutes asking us how we were and commenting on how nice some of the cars were and then wished us well and headed off.

Now there were some cars there that could have been defected and put away for life.....and they knew that, but they were just making sure we were looking after ourselves and not breaking the law.

The vehicle inspectors here are dicks, not the guys at the registry, they are also pretty fair, but it's the inspectors that go out and find cars to defect here that are tools, but even they don't go out of their way to make things hard for us.

In conclusion, Canberra cops, in general, are great!

For your first question I would reccomend the guys at Integra Automotive. Heaps of experience with Skylines, and I would be confident in saying they have the best Power FC/Autronic/Motec/Microtech tuner in Canberra working there (Ed). They are out in Queanbeyan, give them a call on 62329329 and go out and have a talk to them and tell them what you are after.

Trojan motorsport in Mitchell is a brilliant workshop that specialise in Skyline performance. Just one trip down to the garage and you'll see what i mean.

They are contactable on 6242 6277. Ask for John. And if you drop in tell them Steve (silver 33) sent you! It probably wont get you a discount but i'll be able to talk myself up next time I see the boys :miner: lol...

I have heard he is good with SAFC's but not sure about powerfc's. I guess it depends on if you are willing to give him a go if not i suggest you take it to Ed @ integra as he seems to have worked the most with powerfc's

does anyone go to autotech out in fyshwick to get their power fc tuned?

i was there today to get my car dyno tested (just to see power) but dunno how they are with tuning the fc..

Cheers,

-JD

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
