Congrats everyone on their new rides, seem we have a few more people to take the p!ss out of now... but we'll wait a bit longer so we don't scare you away.

Which reminds me, best not to let Mick near you yet, cos we'd like you to hang around a bit longer LOL

If any of you are out with your new cars (and even if you're not driving your new car yet) swing by the hillclimb on Sutton Rd and say hi, there should be a few of us there.

not too sure what plugs are in it, thats just what i got as a summery.

in regards to boost - i thought 7 was the stock boost, so ive either got 155 on 7 or 10 pound. yay if it is 7psi. anyway of checking it?????

also anyone no the cost of installing a boost contoller off the top of there heads? looking to get 2 stage i think and the flip switch in the cabin hidden somewhere...... wouldnt mind winding it up a little, if its is at 7 then maybe 10, no higher than 12.

Also whats the 33 turbo rated too?????

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
