You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

wtf do you guys just take your cars up and down your street once a month or something?

I do over 400ks a week and it's also a "weekender"

Use it...

damn right. I do over 20,000km a year, 5yrs running.

car is not growing in value and with skylines being in the range of $5000 - $15,000 already no need to treat them like a Ferrari ~_~

Work is 10 mins drive and usually too lazy to go for a drive cos I work evenings which usually limits how far I can drive, also usually hate weekend drives cos its full of idiots thinking its ok to not allow you to pass on decent roads...

fair enough also driving a defectable car might put you off driving it but that didn't stop me clocking over 60,000Ks in my 3 years ownership of the old r34. 85% of which was pointless weekend cruising...

to be honest even if i had a fezza i'd still put decent K's on it probably cut down a bit on the cruising but meh it's a car that's what it's for

Rimon, didn't really worry about getting defected its just simple driving on freeway can be really frustrating when there's idiots doing 100 or less on right lane, idiots not following speed limits (I.e. less than posted) and pull over and let faster cars pass.

Just need to find a place and time for driving, which I've always putting off unless I'm being egged into going cruises.

lol Grant it doesn't have to be a thrash session every time you take it out :rolleyes:

put almost 20,000Ks on the awdi since i got it ~6 months ago

just think it's a waste might aswell sell it and get people to drop you off places if you're hardly doing any K's

unless it's an investment then just put it in storage and forget about it

Of course not, I mean, simply pottering about can even be frustrating when you see a idiot doing this, even worse when you see L platers doing that and is being encouraged by their parents/instructors.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      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.
