thanks for all the nice birthday wishes. :laugh: may they return to you ten fold!

well the birthday was not perfect. first mistake was I got up and went to work. I should have stayed in bed and put in a call to Jessica Alba, but for some reason felt compelled to go to my job :(

Things will improve tonight with just a nice bottle of veuve, a fine cuban cigar and a nice dinner. :rofl:

plus I was hoping my new suspension would arrive today as a little prezzie to myself, but it looks like that will have to wait for tomorrow.

and Jo, I was thinking you might be sending me a spare Z-tune in the mail, but I've rung the post office and no 10.5 cubic metre box was waiting there? what's up with that?!? perhaps it just got held up a bit? *prays to god it was held up...

I don't have your address Richard, that must be what the hold up is.

The Z-tune is coming back for a little visit soon, the owner said "Jo, I will lend you the Z-tune & you can have it for a week" How cool is that.

So, end of November - 1st week in December be ready.

Now, are you taking me out for that dinner for your birthday?

Nice, I wish I had the funds available to add to my model collection.

And do mods on Teh Stagea...

And buy bigger monitor/TV...

And buy bigger hard-drive(s)...

And...

thanks shell and wil.

had a nice day (apart from work). and finished off with dinner and ate some of my favourite things.

started with shark fin soup (damn it was good), then some deep fried prawn balls, then peking duck (skin+pancakes, followed by san choy bow) and some deep fried icecream to finish. washed all that down with a bottle of vintage veuve cliquot, then a fine cuban cigar (a 'churchill').

all in all, a very nice day.

Which restaurant?

Kam Fook in Westfield Chatswood?

no, i like (and went to) Fook Yuen. good seafood but a bit pricey. their nice shark fin soup is $90 a bowl and their abalone is $$$.

kam fook is not bad too, but a bit like eating in a school hall!

    • 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.
