Cleaned up and put the stock rims and hubcaps back on the Micra and added a little more air.

Retightened the front wheel bearings and a few hose clamps on the Wagz.

yesterday/today:

Re did all the vacuum lines with new Aeroflow lines. Cleaned and waxed parts of it. Polished my key, and ordered more OEM parts.

Also did a complete clean of the interior including the seats. Smells good :yes:

Washed the Micra for the last time and arranged insurance for the Pulsar.

Exchange will happen Tomorrow.

Exciting.

Congrats mate, look forward to hearing about what 'tweaking' / 'tuning' that can be achieved with a late model Pulsar ....

What did I do to my car today!! I got it freakin filthy dirty in the rain after washing it on the weekend!!

None of those mods are likely to void warranty so they may well happen :D

The phrase "it's Ridiculous" has been said alot this evening.

It's so much bigger than previous Pulsars and actually makes the 33 look small. The Pulsar is only about 100mm shorter. :O

I'm going to have to totally rearrange the garage to suit.

Despite being able to put a clenched fist between the tyre and guard, the front bumper is closer to the ground than the 31s after being lowered.

The boot is the biggest I've seen and yes I climbed in. Easily enough space for 2 of me, maybe 4 if stacked.

The dash looks awesome at night, the headlight height is adjustable at the flick of a switch, the 1.8L gets it moving just fine, Auto box is smooth as silk,

as is the general ride comfort. It's soooo quiet and comfy. Very easy to drive.

Really Quite Amazing. Can only imagine what an R35 is like.

Makes the 33 and especially the 31 feel Really Old.

Ridiculous I tells ya.

Rewired fuel pump, put another big cable between alternator and battery to bring fuel pump voltage up from 10v to 13.8.

Hoping to run it out of fuel on the dyno again but to make more that 430hp this time!

Also my drag radials are waiting for me at the Toll depot :)

In the next few weeks I need to source GTR rear suspension, get diff gears and pinion flanges swapped, fit GTR cradle, modify handbrake to suit, fit BM50 master cylinder, wire up overdrive on the auto (and maybe also lock up converter), get a wheel alignment and figure out how to fit 200L of eflex in the car to get me to Coota and back. I think I can do it!

    • 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.
