the FAKE fmic looked so f###ed that who ever walked past that car at that time laughed at it rather then appreciating it, those pipings look like regular pipings that you buy from Bunnings for 99cents a metre on special.

1/ Bunnings don't have specials :P

2/ What do you think ic piping made from? Mine are just regular, mid steel mandrel bends.

:(

You have missed th epoint that some ppl like to ice up (or do up) a car that they have or just want to be differnet.

Maybe they don't wanna spend money on performance but want a cheap stand out car.

Remember, some ppl have no clues. haha

I know of people who have turbo'd non turbo cars, only to gain 190kw at the front wheels - pointless IMO, but they love it.

Truth be known, the 50k spent on it could buy you a very good R33 GTR example.

Horses for courses I guess. The orld would be boring if every man and his dog poured $ into Skylines - even though these are my preferred fun car.

this thing does enter autosalon comps....was in the semi final I was at end of last year. YES it is the chick that owns it on the bonnet, AND it won best airbrushed car from memory...or at least runner up.

I thought it was deffinatly in the "why whould you" catigory.....but each to there own I guess.....

thats actually like a big airfilter made to look like an intercooler. It is hooked up, but works on the same principal as a huge pod filter. Ive seen heaps on Pulsars getting round. They get em at autobarn i think?

still.........why would you????

    • 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.
