Yeah I could do that, but at the same time this car will keep going forever after a bit of TLC, so I might as well do it right the first time.

That's so unlike me, I'm always about the quick fix, just get it good enough.... what the f**k's going on!!

too much laser love

Mangs. Just checking in from an Irish pub with free wi fi in Dubrovnik.

Cars of interest spotted in Europe so far:

one 180sx in Rome, but I think it may have been it's American cousin the 240sx.

And one four door 35 with infinity badges.

And lots of vw's

I am working on it. Beers here are $2 for pints.

Almost as good as hong kong, $5 for a four pack, sold at 7eleven and petrol stations

Having fun, but as for hot beer wenches, can't quite give them the attention they deserve as my wife is with me at almost all times.

But as a general rule, Croatia seems to be filled with stunners.

Not like Serbia.....

I got this message from a dude on Boostcruising about a VG30DETT:

Hey mate i found out about the motor for you, it comes with everthing, turbo's ect. except no wiring harnes. It has dropped pressuse from one of the cyclinders but he dosen't know which one???? Apart from that he said it runs great. He said the price is $600 Neg.

What do you think?

Agree on the no. f**k the VG. Oh and as I said to John last night. f**k YOU GUYS. Burn Notice is awesome and I ended up going to bed at 2am last night because I couldnt stop watching them. Now I've got to stay in work and do my uni assignment because I know if I go home I'll never get anything done lol.

But Dan might know how to work some VG magic :blink:

Well, I question old mate's diagnostic technique.

He says:

It has dropped pressuse from one of the cyclinders but he dosen't know which one????

now by 'dropped pressure' I would assume that means no compression? But how he tells it has no compression in 1 cylinder without testing them I don't know, and if he'd tested them he'd know which one it is. If its actually got no compression on 1 cylinder, forget it, its f**ked.

IF he actually means "not firing" on 1 cylinder then it could be something simple causing no fuel or spark to that cylinder, in which case it would probably be a very easy fix.

I would suggest, if you have any intention on buying it, do a compression test on it first and if the cylinders aren't all in spec and fairly even, then stay far FAR away, it's not worth the hassle.

If you can get the VG for like $400 I'd say go for it, if a cylinder is f**ked rebuild it yourself :D

The laser's now rolling on some sweet nolathane bushes in the front ;) oh yeahhhh

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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
