Ham, nice motor.

iPhone is finally unlocked at the comfort of my desk - thanks Nick aka WGNPWR for his help.

Just bought myself a pair of nismo AFMs, injectors. Now, I'm umm-ahhing about turbo upgrade twins or single is the question...

I could be wrong here ... and probably am. But doesnt it stop oily air being plumbed back into the intake?

which should stop oily buildup in your intake pipes

yeah pretty much, removes oil in air lines.

wtf u doing man. I told you several pages ago. Email http://www.speedywheels.com.au/ and tell them your diametre of the hole in the centre of wheel and the diametre of the axle hub. They then will send you 4 plastic rings for $10~ and it will be in your fkn mail box the next day

Shan, stop confusing everyone with your leetness. Simple solution, if you got second hand aftermarket rims, get some hub-locating rings if there is a gap.

Hub Location - Alloy Wheels

The hub hole is the hole in the centre of the wheel which mates with the centre hub of the car.

By not locating a wheel on the cars’ centre bore, the vehicle can sometimes encounter vibration problems.

All Speedy alloy wheels are either supplied with centre bore locating rings or are machined to be a perfect fit with the vehicles hub to completely eliminate any of the above mentioned scenarios.

remove your AFM, stick hand down intake pipe. Remove hand to see coated in oil. Thats what the catchcan tries to catch before it goes through your turbo, intercooler and engine.

*facepalm* look at the diagram that you just posted and the diagrams I posted above and figure out what type of wheel Speedy is referring to.

whatever, just do what you want.

oh noes, oil in the engine!

wtf you on about? the majority of any aftermarket rims arent lug centric and will require hub locating rings. The best they will do is have the diametre the same as the axle hub (for example LMGT4's are direct fit onto the axle hub)

and oil in engine is referring to having an oily air intake...

lol actually most aftermarket rims are lug centric and not hub centric so that one wheel can be used on multiple brands of cars with the same PCD but differing hub centre diameters. Some may use hub rings for reinforcement if they have say not enough material around the lugs to take the stress, but no manufacturer is retarded enough to make a non hubcentric AND non lug centric wheel.

NISMO LMGT4's are hub centric because they're commissioned by Nissan from Rays FOR NISSANS ONLY.

just cause it can be used between multiple brands of cars doesnt mean they have put the effort to make them a lug centric design. Speedy Wheels for example proves that. Lets say that even if the rim is lug centric design, i believe there will be no damage caused when using hub locating rings. After all, the rings just position the wheel into the centre of the hub. If you then screwed in the wheel nuts, they will go directly in and not push the wheel into the centre as it is already there. Therefore the nuts will serve their purpose of holding the wheel in place...

Hence for anyone who is unsure, hub locating rings will just make fitting of the wheels easier even if you have a lug centric wheel..

yes i know they made for nissan, why else would i say thats the best ive seen for an aftermarket fitment...

bahahaha now what did himish tell you? :thumbsup:

umm i forget. what?

i'll let you ppl figure this hub thing out for me. in the meantime, the centercaps on my wheels are held on by 8 allen bolts. which also happen to be slightly seized. ergo - wheels cant be balanced. fuuuuuuuu. wd40 has been applied, will attempt removal again tomorrow.

      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
