well seems like rest of my year is going to be devoid of track days...

just found out I'm spending 3 weeks in Bangkok followed by 6 trips to HK/Macau...

oh well good for Freq fly points and Peking Duck

Life's hard travelling all around the world ey Martin? :P

While we're on the topic of resprays, was thinking about getting a cheap respray for the R33 instead of f**king around with paintless dent removal for the hail damage...what colours do we recommend? Wouldn't mind staying with silver or a variation of it, then I could do exterior only or exterior and door jams.

Spray it Satin Black.

That colour only works for a drift nugget.

I was thinking black with a red pearl or stick to the black with more silver flakes and black pearl to make it pop.

I've heard the black on r34's is quite nice? Need to find a black on a BMW/merc

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • 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.
    • 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
