power cruise in September sounds good.. Hopefully my car won't be too far off maybe take it down to Bris in May for a tune, see how we go.. Need to pay the mechanic a few more beers haha.. ;)

Millions of dollars is more preferable :woot:

I'm sure most of you have driven paradise st of late.... Wht a joke the upgraded road there is already started to fall apart ...... All the wet couldn't be doing it good but surely it has to have something to do with the quality of work carried out as well ?? Then what would I know I'm a boilermaker by trade lol

Mackay Regional Council have a tendency to do roadwork's in the wet season... dumb f**ks instead on hooking in on the winter months and getting it done properly. They need to asphalt everything once instead on shitty bitumen repairs 10 times over.

yeah they love doing half-arsed roadworks then scratch their head when the wet season comes wondering why the road doesn't hold together for longer than a week without giant crater-like potholes appearing.. always happened in Mackay lol. Amazing how different the roads are in Townsville compared to here..

Yeah cheers mate ..... Went and got a wheel balance done haha what a drama that turned out to be as it had a lock nut on each rim which I couldn't find the key nut for so me assuming that any wheel and tyre joint would have a grip socket to remove them went down to only find out they didn't and were not willing to remove them with a ordinary socket which I have done tons of time .... So back home I go and 10 minutes later the lock nuts are off haha should have done it myself first time around ! Anyways turns out each wheel was out between 10 - 30 grams lol feels heaps better now !

kool kool. well ill send ya a msg when im heading home and ill chuck em in the back of the ute and head round. ill bring rotors and rear calipers if you want. front sitting on there so they dont leak out.

    • 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.
