just for the Shiggles :laugh:

but yeah it's so damn close on colour and it's sporting the same front bar too.

Wish I had my engine out when I resprayed it. looking at how good this one is :/

Lulz were had.

Now to start saving Mwahaha

Tokyo Auto Salon

Checked the head tension today, all good.

Found a small hose had come off, the tiny one under the throttle body. could be my boost problem.

Made a tool for the head bolts, very simple, just chopped a 10mm allen key.

Pic wont load.... anyway i ended up with a 10mm hex shaft and just used a 10mm socket on the torque wrench.

i just finished building one that really couldnt be registered and sold it and bought a WRX as a fun daily with the R33 being a track car seeing as it would cost me a little to much than i would like to get it re registered..........

But now i am considering selling it as the wife is getting a little fed up with the car yard I call a front lawn.

Most I have ever put in mine is about the same at 1.57 a litre. Too close to the bottom to think about it :(

Being $1.71 a litre at the moment it would cost from near empty close to $120

Be nice to go back to a dollar a litre

Nostalga break

I'm so old, when I started pumping fuel it was about 11c-14c a litre.

Shoulda heard people whinge then - Bahahaha

and that paid my wages to check oil, water, tyres, pump fuel and clean windscreens as well as rent on the site and the fuel plus the profit for the owner - WTF!

Nothing like a public holiday for plenty of time to work on the car :)

Just spent this morning cleaning out the afm because I think she's running a little rich. Afm was nice and black and whatnot. Sprayed her out with some brake cleaner and its looking brand new :)

Removed the manual bleed boost controller and set up the standard system so that I can pass my second rego inspection :)

And now to get started on tightening the right handbrake.. 5 minutes in, calipers off now for the rotor.. Which requires getting off that big ass 36mm nut. Turns out biggest we've got here is 32, biggest everyone we have contacted has 32. Supercheap only sells up to 32 and nothing else is open on a public holiday.. Why nissan why!! Still waiting to hear back from a few people about sockets. But all in all, been a not too bad day..

    • 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.
