My car is in at the panel shop getting the TWP scar removed (where the tow hook ripped through the front bar) - and yet I still have another shake down event before Targa in a couple of weeks. Part of me has always thought I am crazy doing it with still some pre-prep to go and Benny your story sure hasn't helped that feeling! LOL

Although my last remaining shake down is at Phillip Island and I always like to think that is a place where people try harder than ever to stay on the black stuff. It's not somewhere that rewards tom foolery with a laugh all that often!

Sorry to put you off you brekky Snowy :P

Been talking to Dan a bit lately, the boys pumped! Great to see! :woot:

I'd upload to incar I have of the guy who damaged my car for everyone to have a good old chuckle at, but I don't know how to shorten the clip to 10 minutes to upload it to Youtube?

And why isn't Steve Jones on here ffs? He has a GTR.... aren't we all meant to be buddies and pump eachother up a bit?

We got the rear muffler cut off yesterday to save weight (still got the middle one), and when we get the car back from the workshop i'll pulling the trim , and 4 lap sash belts out. Hoping it all should equil some kg's.

What a scary race track :( Bloody quick and you can't see any of the corners. Not much in the way of run off either. That Turn One is damn fast, taken flat in...4th??

Flat in 5th :) I'm grabbing 5th about what, 60m before the tower, and it's around 7,000rpm through the kink.... great corner :(

Are you kidding? it looks like a f**king cool track! now I know why everyone rates it!

Ahh the kink... Still have a bit of NS400R F2 seat material stuck in mt sphincter where I chased Scott Doohan for 5 laps on his 1000 yam round Lakeside years ago - Flat thru the kink in the wet.

Now why have pill shrank sooo much LOL.

Run off for cars!!! need the walls to bounce em back on the track.

Will have a look BW when I get into an Emirates longe and have some bandwidth.

See ya there

TT

At first I thought 5th as it looks f**king fast but wasn't sure. Dunno what the gears ratios on an R32 are but that must be close to 200k's? Balls of Steel. Should be an awesome car for Targa Tas.

Hmmm not sure either... speedo doesn't work. But around that I'd reckon.

Car should be ok I think, it's too stiff suspension wise, especially if it's wet, but my budget simply didn't/doesn't run to swapping it out for something more suitable atm.......

    • 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
