Ok scratch the above re Hertz....turns out is was user error :P

You had to click display all when looking at the car selection - turns out that the vettes are all sold out between those dates :down: but the price seemed pretty good.

LA to LV must be done in a 60's/70's drop top Cadillac... Fear and Loathing style!

Did you see what god just did!? ... god didn't do that you did, I knew it, your a f**kin narcotics agent

Could not agree more Nick! As it happens I'm not doing the LA to LV trip as I don't have enough time to recover from a coke and hooker night....I am however trying to plan something else that is just as big just without the risk of STD's :D

A picture of the convertible barge we hired in Las Vegas through to LA. Was about 3.5 hours drive. Rest of the pics are on my facebook.

Keep in mind these things wern't suppose to take corners they were made for raw straight line power, the rear suspension (or lack of) is living proof of that. Did you at least have a somewhat enjoyable drive?

Exactly right, they were indeed not built for corners. A few on ramp sprints but that was about it. To be honest was more about having a drop top for that nostalgic drive than anything else. Just book flights 1 hour ago for this years trip, 3 weeks again but taking in Canada this time so will see what we can find for that.

Hey,

    • 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
