I fail to see what was wrong with the old one? I'm pretty sure every track GT-R diffuser I've ever seen looks like that! :P

it's fine appart from the corner that is broken off where a bank hit it (i put it back together for the photo)

roy: it's for the front.

Geez Snowy, like I said in the other thread mate, congrats on your new GTR!

Although I cannot compete with the Shock and Awe of a 34/35 recce/rally duo, we can always have a little fun :)

The stickers finally done by 1am tthis morning, we modded the Signal stripe a bit from the original at the leading edge, it looked a little too much like a willy for my liking. Just needs the Shannnons for the windscreen and the door panels now :P

Once I have it running again I'll grab some better pics of it outside. These pics are of it not quite finished as I was dead on my feet in the later stages.

Ahh the joys of living in Tasmania now.

I can go and check out all the Targa cars!

Look forward to seeing some of these cars in the flesh!

Yeh mate come along for a look! and drag that cousin of yours up, i haven't seen him in nearly 2 years!!!

That's either a random 'everyone in Tasmania is related' joke, or you actually know my cousin Nathan?

yes I know Nathan, have known him (and his antics) for a long time :D

Car looks great Ben, nice job!

Yours too Snowy, that's quite the duo.

And the bonus being my name got spelt right, doesn't happen too often!

Kel - is that Friday 24th? If so Drew/Georgie and I are all on that boat too.

Yep - the 24th it is, looks like we'll be sailing mates :P

I think we're also booked back on the Monday with most of the other Targa traffic- always a fun trip with lots of beer and bullshit!

btw for any navis lurking on this thread (who aren't facebook friendly).

Mozza has passed this on to the Rallying Nav's & Co-Drivers of Australia group on facespace...

Peter Leimuss requires a Nav/co driver for the lefthand seat of his R35 GTR SKyline, please conact Helen Coad at the TARGA TAS office to book your seat,

EXPERIENCE IS VERY NECESSARY,Vandenberg pace notes, and weight is an advantage (or lack of!) !!!!! Flights, accom etc provided

Having done 2 rallies with Pete I can definitely vouch for his driving :P

I am surprised he doesn't have a nav already!

    • 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.
