Changed brake light globe. Took over an hour.

Had to remove MDF boot flooring, remove subs (12 x 2" alen key bolts each), remove sub boxes (screwed in)

Then replace globe and fit it all back in

Changed all six globes. Dont want to do that again for a while :ermm:

Whilst there removed the Tomei tinted after burner lenses and cleaned all brake lenses.

Will leave them off for a while so it looks "normal"

Checked my timing today....way out. Now it's spot on and it runs great.

I have wednesday and thursday off and i'm going to replace my carpet with a better one that I have re dyed and replace my ratty steering wheel.

Tried to diagnose the boost surge, no luck.

When it happens its surging about twice every second. I can hear it, psh-psh-psh and the EBC is beeping warning.

Im getting 120 kpa, 150kpa(20 psi) the other day. Thats bad considering its a stock rb25 turbo!

Its probly actuator or ebc?

Take off the farty GTR bov first, go back to stock.

Dunno... anyone had this before?

Scared to drive it, im sure the turbo will die.

For those of you who have not seen these..... Cricket ball sized hail on my old 32... They did a good job of fking it.

Laughed hard out loud.....couldn't control myself. SOrry.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. again sorry :(

Yeah the car was FARKED pretty hard rofl. Still. I got $400 less than i paid for it 5 years after. Did pretty well considering LOL

So if you ever hear me say how much i HATE hail. Even if its tiny. You now know why hahahaha

You've done a lot better with your latest one.

Bet you shit kittens last week when it started hailing

IT WAS IN THE GARAGE NOT MOVING!

but yes everytime it even rains a bit heavier im like:

4240826.jpgFark off rain!

Looked at my wheel and got cranky again.....Now having an internal debate that if it cant be fixed and need to buy a new wheel whether I hold off and upgrade turbos first seeing as the wheel still works.

Its funny, it seems to be the only thing I see on the car now. Everything else is great but my focus is drawn straight to the wheel!! LOL

Mine really shat me off at first but got over it cause it's on the passenger side.

More go fasts will make you get over it somewhat!! :)

+1 on replacing the wheel rather than repair. I'll probs just by a replacement wheel when I eventually get around to doing something about mine.

    • 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.
