I have finally made it over to Sydney and I'm looking to meeting a few of you aussie tuners. Are there any car shows, night events coming up.

I also need to know where to find a good skyline dealer, any help you guys can give will be great!

Friday night on George street - thats where the sik people meet up......they waste around a tank of fuel every friday night going up and down george st hoping to get chick's nunmbers and show off their half assed rice boxes

Auto Salon Show- thats where all the mega expensive, excessively powered cars with so much bling under the hood you'd be crazy to drive it. In short, lots of show cars, lots of go cars, uunfortunately, they all sleep in the garage and never gets used the way its built for. Don't know when the next Auto salon is but should be around feb or maybe march (don't have a clue)

Race Track - This is where the big boys play!!! You won't see chromed wheels, you won't see dark tinted windows and you certainly won't see mega horse power cars sitting in the garage all day. This is where you'll see how these cars are MEANT to be used. Thrashed within an inch of their life and limp home for rebuilds.

SAU monthly dinner - this is where piss heads get together for a meal and booze. You won't see many good cars, just fun people.

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • 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
