yeah well aware of that! =) just confirming that i can actually stick with what i am using.

I know different materials require different coolant to avoid corrosion. blah blah blah.. :)

just not sure if stock one=steel, and new china one=aluminium , thus different coolant needed.

If you do wish to change types (clolour) then have it professionally pressure flushed first.

Stock is Brass I believe. The guys at Gibbs in Belco did mine (Natrad) and put in the coolant they deemed appropriate.

They also did a check for stray current to avoid Electrolysis eating away at my Aluminiums.

I had green before with stock Radiator (which was leaking) and Now I have red. It's pretty.

I use Tectaloy 100 which is green and pre-mixed. Also did a fair bit of research before selecting this one. It was between the Nulon and Tectaloy.

With the Alloy rad etc... I use green. No brass monkeys in my system - Tee Hee.

Nissan are now using Blue - FTW

Some are just died because it differentiates between GM, Toyota, Europee'n and US cars.

There is Red, Green, Orange, Yellow, Brown and now Blue.

They used to colour them for a reason. 3 different types - Oats, Hoats and another one.

Now it's all just pretty *rainbow*

Put the Foz in for rego inspection. Failed.....fog lights not working!

Checked all fuses just now and they are all fine. Checked the connectors to the actual fog light switch and one fell off quite easily, hoping that is what the issue is.

I couldnt get it back on. Have to pull bottom half of dash off to get to ot and cant be bothered tonight. will do it after work tomorrow.

Passed my rego inspection check up this morning! Woot!! :woot: After a decent sized list of small things to fix up:

  • headlight aim
  • atmospheric blow off valve
  • boost gauge within head impact zone
  • pod filter loose
  • manual boost controller/bleed valve
  • secure thermo fan
  • right side handbrake didnt work
  • wheels too wide

Big thanks to Rob for lending me some rims to get through the inspection, and a photo of them on the car was requested ;)

YAY! its always good to be allowed to drive on the road..

So are you not allowed to have manual boost controller/bleed valve in ACT? Is SA them same?

I'm about to install one soon, and moving to Adelaide shortly after, do i need to remove it before changing to SA rego?

Yeah im not 100% sure on the subject but this is what I think sounds about right from doing a lot of research. If you want to control the boost it has to be done from inside the cabin, but you cant have any air, fluid or gas (apart from air vents) passing through the firewall.. So to stop all the smart arses placing their bleed valve inside the cabin haha, and I think this is Australia wide. Someone feel free to correct me as im not 100% sure..

If you do install it I would just change it back to stock for the inspection. Only a 5 minute job once you know what you're doing.

Not a Pulsar has a pretty good setup, could probably talk to him about how he controls his boost.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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.
