I think you'd find it ok with any of those cars as their power band is so late that you'd just have to control the car on boost.....tight lsd's would make them predictable and they'd mostly just spin the wheels through the gears and leave tough lines :) Traction would be non existant....but in real terms you wouldn't be running a "race tune" all the time. You'd have a street tune with lower boost and lower fuel usage so you didn't foul the plugs 24/7 and need to stop off at the fuel station every 20k's.

So what you are saying is these guys "can" make 1000 ponies but their street setup is more like 6 or 700, hmmm. Give me the gtr any day.

I have finally got my car going again. It was the bloody spark plugs.,Fouled up real bad.

Im glad it wasnt to serious.

good to hear...your car must be overfueling pretty bad to cause them to foul to the point of the car not even starting or attempting to start....

Yeah thats the mircotech for you. They were iridiums only 12000kms old $120 bucks. I will stick to the coppers for $20 a change better in the pocket.

lol this is a great example of why u shoudlnt run dear plugs, as they foul soo easily!

I was told the plugs they sold me were the wrong ones anyway so what ever you do dont get the BKR5EIX-11 wrong heat range and gap.

Well it is for my car.

The recommended ones are the BCPR6ES all ready comes with 0.8 gap.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • 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.
