No wonder u fail if ur washing it with a rag!

I didn't, went to Apple Peel carwash thing and did it myself...

... twice.

Not that hard to wash a car man

Go watch the Karate Kid for some pointers

*sighs* more movies to watch...

rolling start ~70ks 350z + 5 litre commo disposed of. not bad for a lawn mower motor

anyone know of a good place to get calipers re painted?

Washed my car again, and I fail at washing cars.

Note to self, pay someone to wash it with a rag.

washed mine last night and again today, got home look at the front fkn bird shit on the bonnet. f**k it.

what you do grant is wash it with the detergent thingy spray gun

dont use the car wash brooms

then once the car is soaked and has some detergent on it

use a microfibre cloth, if you dont have one, use an old tshirt

you do this to wipe away the dust/dirt that simply spraying it doesn't clean

then do this as quick as you can (dont let it dry) and keep washing it down whilist you do it

never let that dust/dirt dry

then it should be bang on spotless

Got my calipers powder coated

Same with front mount, intercooler piping and plenum.

Powder coat > paint

but that will mean removing calipers no? cbf doing that also wanna keep the writing on em different colour...

will powder coat the rims black after i paint the calipers yellow

    • 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.
