I swear to god my car just likes to troll me.

On the way to work today the tweeter for one of the rear speakers has come loose.

That requires me to pull the rear seats out to get the parcel shelf out to take the speaker covers off.

Also i think my power steering is on the fritz/dead, though that isn't a big deal.

Also..

The Nismo pedals don't bolt straight on.... I'll either have to make up a bracket to mount them... Or drill into the existing metal. Will have more of a think about that today.

Well it's been off the road for a while so will take some "bedding" in to get all the small bits sorted. But - they're good little problems to have that you can fix yourself.

I'm not looking forward to the bits and pieces that my one will need sorting after being off the road for an year :(

Oh and the center console makes the best arm rest in history.

Best investment ever.

The one with the cup holder?

I've owned an R32 since 2002 and man the amount of R32 stuff i've dumped over the years that's worth money now......speaking off I should go look through that box of R32 stuff i have and see what Nismo goodies I can dig up and offer with ridiculous prices to you ;)

Fair enough. Did you end up getting a Nismo footrest?

Nah not yet. i was tempted to buy one that went up for sale a few weeks ago but couldn't justify the $$ at this point.

Ill get one eventually.

    • 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.
    • 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.
