Was the spigot bearing an original Nissan part? Why did it fail, just through wear and tear?

No Matt, it was a needle roller bearing one, lasted all of 20 mins due to input shaft nicking it when we went to fit gbox. After that, I'm only ever fitting stock bronze one's ;)

Thanks Charlie, it feels good.

Next will be a set of bilstein coilovers :thumbsup:

Thanks Brad! Yours will be a monster!!

Still have not done clutch...had to keep it on the road due to things popping up and arriving short notice :whistling:. Was worth it though!

The clutch is a Nismo gmax twin plate (Brett) , that I got second hand, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt with new clutch discs.

I'm currently half way through getting brembo bits to take the brakes back to something more streetable...

Nice scuff plates mate.

Is going okay Matt, but I always want more....

Have got a couple of things for it recently:

Some tein bonnet struts.

Also got some bilstein PSS9 coilovers. Only issue is that one of the front coilovers didn't have the fitting kit (nut, spacer, rubber and adjuster knob) with it so I can't use them yet :(

Will have to get that sorted asap.

Over 2k.... no adjustment spanners, and missing a fitting kit.

Fitted some new tein super streets to Karcher's 450sx. Went in no worries and handles way better and feels great on the road.

damn, sounds like an annoying buy. PSS9's are normally cheap though, there's a set selling atm too!

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
