DIY :action-smiley-069:

for all those interested by the way - i am about halfway through doing a full glass restoration on my car - i've taken pics of EVERY step involved. glass is now MINT like brand new...

i tried about 7 different products

ranging from different things that i researched.

such as: (a combination of)

vinegar diluted in water

stainless steel cleaner

shower power

CLR

a metal polish called "Purple magic"

mild steel wool

and lastly...

a $7 bag of weapons grade Cerium Oxide i aquired

my windows were like CHALK. absolutely covered in lime and bore stains.. and for those of you who know me - also know how obsessive compulsive i am about small details. so wait for the write up on what i did - you know there will be good results if i did it. :)

all it needs is a matching bodykit and an owner that will love it :) shame it's a 1992.

Nic - i'd love to come help but every night this week i'm getting punched in the face instead.

be honest - which of you would forgo your cefiros for a gloria?

personally i would in a heart beat ... they're getting pretty cheap now too.. maybe if the cefiro sells i might be in the market for one.. who knows..

four doors rule..

cimas are too bulky. laurels are too old.. gloria - looks sporty and classy at the same time. and as you can see there. they're fkn badass. interior is like sex (well what i've HEARD about sex at least - never had it myself, wouldn't know)

There are some Cefiro's getting around in Perth that came in under SEVS.

That pearl pink one, is a 91 or 92, SEVS (somehow), imported a few years ago....just look up old stock on the Imports101 website.

I'd love a C35 Laurel if they were pillarless. Factory manual, with leather trim, and a sunroof. I'd do things for that experience.....bad things.

      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

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
