Jasons pics give a fair idea as to how they look however as mentioned in real life they are so much better!!! So much so that on valentines night i was to busy staring at the dash being lit up that cops had their sirens on following me, i got booked doing 94 km/h in 70 zone, my fault really but i was to busy concentrating lookin at my new dash, I was mesmerised like i was a mosquito flying into one of those elctric zappers! so $150 and 3 points later i still have my nice mesmerising glowy dash :-)

Kyles good point!! Now for me to scrub Troy off my IOU list i will have to meet you guys at the gym this sunday and i will give him a good training session.... $10 says he won't show.. :-) ehehe!!

Ummmm well Ummmm yes...... i'm not normally a bad driver or a hoon as you know, but was in back streets 70 zone on the way to mums in 5th gear and was showing my new lady friend the dials not realising how fast then all of a sudden *Siren* i pulled off the road so my car was 3 quarts off the road and then over the loud speaker 'GET YOUR CAR OFF THE ROAD' I felt like a full on crim!! so yeah in the end 3 points and $150... spewing huh!

I'm just glad i didn't get yellow sticker, i have to learn to try and think of positive things, they popped my bonnet and went over my car, they saw my air filter and got a bit upset but i apologised and said would get permit, they were agrresive to start with but i guess if your nice enough and apologise and be polite then they calm down, there are some police that no matter what you say or do they are mean however these guys were pretty good in the end, it could have been a lot worse than it was so for what i got instead of what i could have had it was ok.

bl on the fine dood...

i dont have many points left :) i lost 6 in 1 weekend... and i only had nine before that...so do the math :D

its crap but thats life....i didnt buy my car to drive like a nanna....but i dont speed anymore...

oi jase, whats the plan this sat? go to evo r? what time etc etc? address? thanks mate... who else it gonna be there...? zanda>?

fane: just waiting on the last 3 sets to arrive .. I've just spoken with the guy, and they *SHOULD* be here this week

I will call him tomorrow and Friday and confirm when they've arrived.

Assuming they do arrive, it is easier for him if we get there earlier, so I was hoping we could get there at 9ish on Saturday ..

I'll post more as soon as I know :D

at this stage the weather this weekend looks like a pearler.

I will probably put mine in when they get here - or on saturday morning....

how long did it take everyone else? if I leave 2 hours is that realistic? never pulled the cluster, but I've pulled the dash surround hundreds of times.

The cluster itself comes out after the dash in about 4 mins. 3 plugs at the back and 4 screws from recollection.

That can them be taken quickly inside from the heat :D

You can get to the dials then sevles in about 2 mins. But the placing of the white bits is... "fiddly" (F**king things)

oh..as a word of advice the speedo dial must be completly removed from the house (3 screws behind it) for the boost gauge white bit to go in)

And the tach/temp/fuel is the hardest.

Have fun!!

    • 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.
