agreed, love those events in a game...but in IRL, i dont think i'd have the balls to even try.

BOZ! did you get your car back yet?

and a simple spark plug question for one and all. the iridiums that are in my car are heat 6 gap 1.1. should i stick with this with the new plugs (prob just coppers)

or go down to a 0.8 gap? my 5000rpm+ stutter is getting worse :( just wondering if it might just be the gap?....or the distance driven with them in.

I'd take water over flipping and fire any day of the week. Unless you have a VERY difficult car to get out of I'd say your chances of survival are higher in a splashdown, more time to react. Both are terrifying situations however.

Upside down, on fire and in the water however...

The one that always has me on edge even watching are the crazy cliff drops on the outside of many European Tarmac rally's or events like Pikes Peak. That's a damn long way to fall with nothing but skill stopping you going over.

and on that topic. i just downloaded a Jeremy Clarkson DVD collection. the first one is Motorsport Mayhem from '99 and i just watched a corolla drive straight down a cliff and end up upside down in water.

No car yet but it must be actually done (or so close it doesn't matter) as Just Car contacted me to pay the excess. Once the payment clears I'm hoping she'll be back in my hands :)

On the topic of spark plugs, I gapped down to 0.8mm on my last spark plug change (about 10,000km ago, they are due for another change soon) and it helped no end. Once I get my baby back she'll be getting an oil change and new plugs straight up, i actually have a bit of space to work on her now, just need to actually buy some axel stands and a jack :P

How much boost you running bodo?

just stock boost, with the low boost bypass job.

copper sparkplugs, smaller gaps, and replace them while doing oil change. costs less than fancy plugs and does the job just fine.

yeah im gonna go coppers, the iridiums do save alot of time as the plugs aren't a 5 min job with standard pipe work, and 5000km was every second month the last few years (thankfully that is no more)

the 6 heat range should be fine then i assume?

Anybody aware of any cheap standard skyline seats for sale? Need some till my fixed back gets here

i got a set of 34 seats cheap at a place called the Panel house in slacks creek, they had all types and sizes there for relatively cheap. my clean pair of 34 seats only cost me about $150

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
