I run ID's and if it's below 10 degrees my cars a bitch to start.

If the car has been on the trailer over night in winter and I try to start it at the track I have to wait for the temp to get up to about 10 before it will start.

It was tuned on a 35 degree day which probably didn't help.

Yeah on warm days, even anything above 15 degrees it starts first crank. Cold weather like today you can't even hear it fire a cylinder for the first couple of cranks.

ive read a few articles mentioning the same amount.... maybe it could work.

id be taking it back to tuner and retuning in the cold tho....

Not a bad idea getting a winter touch up tune for it that I can switch to in the cold. Shouldn't cost too much.

yeah I didnt have any great issues either....Maybe its those crappy old Nismo injectors Birds ;)

I'd say it has more to do with the climate the car was tuned in and where you're starting it. My car gets left out on the street these days and inside the carport it does start much quicker. Pretty sure the bottom of my hill goes below sea level too, lol. Injector type or size should be pretty irrelevant; the timing and flow of them in the tune will matter more.

Besides, Nismo injectors are love...dat resale value through the roof. Just like my "outdated" PFC!

Need a tiny electric blanket around your fuel line birds.

Heh I was actually imagining doing something like this, but wrapping the whole engine. Also considered giving the fuel lines one of these

Have a huge castle somewhere, so many trap doors and glow in the dark ghosts (actually just a regular Lego man in a ghost sleeve, but aren't they all!

No, I prefer to get irrationally angry at people who get nostalgia about things that are 'silly new things that little kids are into'

Like Pokémon.

How dare this forum autocorrect and add that little thing above the E.

stupid nostalgic forum

well if your car is rwc...why worry?

sif be scared of tmu...just smile and nod politely as you do what they ask, then leave and do what the hell you want anyway

hmm only problem would be too low otherwise car is okay

always rely on much worse cars than yours to steal the spotlight. have seen bagged R32's scrape on modest carpark entrances infront of cops and they just watch to make sure no one does skids.

lol yeah this is true :P or i could just walk, market is pretty close. the melb car meets had a couple of people rev bashing and doing a skid on exit at the docklands one. :/

    • 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.
