dooooooo eeeeettttt Artzie

I always warm the work piece beforehand and then heat a little bit between layers as well. Helps make the wrinkle really nice and uniform.

Yeah I was leaving it out in the sun, spraying and then lightly heating after each coat then going over it with the heat gun for ages after the final coat. Just to bad I didn't know this when I first tried the paint lol

  • 2 weeks later...

Any suggestions on where to start. I want to tidy up and Bling out the engine bay on my GTR.

Like taking my car to shows as well as the track.

Want something that looks great when the bonnet is up....

Ideas??

Ideas??

- Wire tuck engine bay

- All plastic fluid reservoirs replaced with metal

- Braided everything

- Remake intercooler / intake pipes

- Less rubber bits

none of the above...lol

looks pretty neat already, just needs a good clean and general tidy up, maybe a few hoses and wires re-routed...

might get one of those oil catch/window washer combos

and a full length front cooling panel that covers your headlights and all....

but the rest i would just tidy up...clean the smog marks off the paint , clean the hoses, polish the covers etc...general cleaning basically.

no need to waste money on tacky braided hoses, leave that to the muscle car crowd..save the money for performance mods....

He said bling. I listed bling hahaha

eg> not a 26 but this is bling

    • 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
    • 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.
