your wife drives a skyline. impressed

mine wants a damn citroen.

Well she drives it more than me... put it that way lol. Its very hard to pry the keys out of her hands when I want to go and have

some fun. Though letting her use it as a daily atleast its getting driven and not just sitting around.

She prefers to drive the line than the SLR5000. Something about being more modern comfort with "go" :) She's a revhead from way back and not afraid to use the loud pedal.

Townsville (out near Ingham)

Saw TZN33 the white r33 with the mercury motorsports stickers all over it...

Was parked round the corner from the house i was staying at in the same little estate, was a bit of an eye sore to see. As i remember it being from Brisbane and all and here we are 2000 odd km's from home and bumping into each other again... Whats the chances... :)

2nd time in a row yesterday, at the exact same spot (which is kind weird, seeing as it was on the highway).

I was heading southbound, a yellow R34 (I THINK it was a GTR, not 100%) and he was coming north.

twice now, same spot. Just north of the Bermuda street exit on the M1.

spotted my twin with (chromies + Stickers) on kessels road last nite , the look on your face was priceless ... if your on here buddy dont race on the roadsspecially when its busy !!!

    • 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.
