i dont know if its normal but my car takes a few seconds to start and when it starts the oil light remains on for about 4seconds. and the engine idles rough for the 4 seconds. sometimes its less than 4 seconds. 2 to 4seconds. after the 2 - 4 seconds the oil pressure gauge goes up and the engine idles properly. the car runs smoothe and works fine until i switch off and switch on again. takes a few secs to switch on, oil light shows for a few secs after engine turns on and idles rough. then back to normal again.....

Some one help?

is this normal?

Yeah bro your right but i am a complete Newbie at this stuff. Never done any of it before and coz of the problems with starting the car and stuff i have no option but take the service. :P

maybe i shouuld take up some kind of classes that teach this stuff.

You dont need classes mate...just read here!

I bought my first skyline 6months ago and new nothing...so i asked lots of embarresing questions and read around this forum ALOT.

Its not as hard as you'd think and there are heaps of tutorials around :ninja:

And oil change is basically undo this bolt....let drain...replace bolt...add oil here. Its pretty simple stuff :P

    • 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.
    • 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.
