also cant wait for mine.....even though i dont have a car to put them on, they will make a nice wall decoration for the mean time lol

yeah I cant wait till I get my car back. been 4 weeks so far but fingers crossed tomorrow will be the day

had a look at the turbos that came off the gtr (mattyr31 saw them too) and one was rooted...

to quote matty "Hey you can see daylight thru the housing!"

turns out the rear turbine's water feed had become blocked and had most likely overheated and warped the housing, which led to the bearing getting munted and blowing oil into the compressor section - certainly would explain the det and lack of power in either case...

water and oil lines have been thoroughly refurbished now tho, so when it goes to boostworx on monday for a tune i should be pushing some healthy numbers

that aside, its time for a crap joke

Two atoms go into a bar on a Friday night. They are both in a good mood and proceed to drink themselves under the table.

They are now really drunk.

One atom turns to the other in horror and says "Oh Shit, I lost an electron!!"

"My God, are you sure?!" asked the other atom in disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm positive......"

-D

Sorry mate they only bolt onto 34gtr :) 33 is different bolt hole size :( but yes the 6-pot brembo's arrived today. Here I was thinking they were just alittle bigger then the 34R brembo's, but holy shit, they are huge. Bigger then f50. Would basically take up a whole half of a rotor easy.

Pics will be up tomorrow :)

    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
    • I ordered it this morning, I'll disassemble it post pic's and info following delivery.
