Yeah though i saw your car there, is it the Red/burgundy one sit on the hoist with SAU sticker?

Saw Tein lying on the floor and i was like lucky bastard :) , hope you got the right Tein though cos' i used to have DRIFT Spec on mine and end up got rid of it. Couldn't hack with the stiffness and side way actions when the road is wet.

Also nice power curve there, had my SAFC tuned by ice as well but curve wasn't as good as your, maybe it was late so Nigel did a quick tuning job and it wasn't on Ice dyno either ( like i was told ) cos' they got some insurance problems therfore i end up got almost 200kw@wheel :(

i originally had some tein hr's on my car which were boned and not only were they stiff, but felt like they just dropped into the bumps in the road, so bad kidney pains for 3 years of having the car lol

these tein flex are awesome, still stiff, but they dont just drop with a thud, feel so nice

had someone tailgate me last night on the way home after a long drive back from chelt>city>highpoint>home, now i never really speed up or anything, i just go the limit, plus it was raining, so when we get to a main round a bout, i stuck to the 70km/h limit on the outside lane in the rain, not a budge, then accelerate a bit more coming out of it, and was fine, little bit of a loss of traction but nothing to major as i didnt floor it

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.

      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.
