Might try and take my sisters 300zx, its just an auto but still would be better than an open wheeling mustang.

Dont think i want to weld it up as i know it will break fairly quick and as its currently my daily driver.

have to wait and see.

Shame about the clutch :( Most of the skidpan will be in 2nd gear when you get used to it, when your learning mostly 1st gear.

1 spot still open 5 days till skidpan ! :yes:

YeahI know, but the clutch is goone, I'll bring it anyway as I just bought some Potena re050 for the front andI want to see how they will turn in for the motorkhna the next weekend

1 spot still available to make 10, but you need to ring dereck at www.fifthgear.com.au to book in. No point transferring it to me at this stage, price is 99$

You guys looked to have heaps of fun out there in the morning! Was great meeting you guys.

The afternoon session absolutely rocked! The car is absolutely covered head to toe in muddy stained thick 'water'. Hopefully one of the staff at my work will wash it for me...

It was unfortunate that I didn't see any of my mates with video camera's like you guys had, so I don't know how it looked, but it felt insane.

No probs. Had a great time and was good to catch up with everyone again. Dirtiest I think my cars been after the skidpan lol. Given it a wash once so far, now to clean all the out of the way places lol. Took a few pics myself, will see if I can post em up later. Good that you guys had fun in the afternoon too.

    • 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
