It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Hey guys I have a problem. Replaced a blown rb20det with another. The new motor arrived with the timing out by 4 teeth. We re did the timing and got it running. But it is idleling rough as guts and the motor will die without throttle. If I give the throttle a tap it jumps up but then will go out of control. Up to 3 Grand then slowly comes back down. I have checked afm iac and cold start valve by unplugging them to see if I get a response. Which I do. I have power and signal going to all injectors and coil packs. All cylinders fire. The ecu has a ewad out of 55 which is no faults. Im out of ideas. Will do a boost leak test tomorrow with soapy water. SO CHEAP! Thanks in advance guys

Hey mate, seems like you have most of the bases covered. Usually the best way to test for leaks is to pressurise the intake.

If you are handy with a welder, weld a compressor fitting onto a piece of pipe with a tap, and weld the end shut. Them simply remove your AFM and clamp it there and slowly crank the pressure up to 30psi.

It is by far the only accurate way to find leaks.

Hey guys did a pressure test on the intake and I have a blown plenum gasket  the supplier I bought it off has a start up warranty on the motor the fact that this was already present has asked for a quote to fix and get the motor running. Lesson: warranty is awesome

After a new clutch cylinder for my car. (P/N: 30620-21U23)

Going to try Brakemart, Repco and Bursons, but just putting this up in case these fail and anyone has one lying around

Its a 3/4 Nabco slave, believe they might be the same as R32 ones, but not 100% sure

Hopefully should be able to source a new one anyway

Really? I dont go there that often. And I always forget to use my racq card anyway lol.

Ended up getting my slave honed and re-sealed by Better Brakes. They had it done in about an hour as well. Looks all shiny and new now :)

Works as well which is a plus

They were originally going to re-sleeve as well but said the bore didnt end up being that bad.

was just shy of $50, noone seemed to stock a new one. Was about to try nissan but dare say it would have been $100 plus

I don't think a re-sleeve would have cost much more, said it was going to be stainless re-sleeve so should last longer, but I'm happy as with the result. Like I said, looks like a brand new one after they sand blasted and re-kitted it

Have a funny feeling it might drive again tomorrow :)

I quite like 34's in yellow

get the wallet out Sean and just do it :P

Get the impression that this is really well looked after as well, has only been lightly modded. Would be a good one

      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

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      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

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
