I'm still doing short term oil changes, will swap to a genuine filter when it's been driven a bit more. 

Next order ill order another nismo sock for the oil filter....

Also looking into options for the battery. Possibly a stand+enclosure welded up.... at the moment it's literally propped up with wood hahahaha

Few questions...

The black fuel line that runs over the plenum.. Should i braid that for the lulz? 

Also considering either braiding or getting one of the old school greddy hard pipes for the top Rad hose...???

I finally managed to get my hands on a decent condition optioned up foot rest, and i didn't have to pay drug (nismo) money for it. Pretty stoked. When that arrives that means the interior is pretty much done. Unless as stated above i want a nismo cluster and/or the optioned knee pads.....

Gearbox has a slight crunch 4th syncro. 

Or new diffs? !!

Tip all of that money you might spend into my car instead, know that it went to a good cause? 

 

I'll tell you what, you give me the car and ill spend all the money on it. 

An interesting counter offer.... 

The car did come from Canberra actually, maybe it was always meant to be yours. 

As for your list, I would rebuild box. Reliability/avoiding further damage over upgrades IMO.

Why Quaife instead of Nismo at the front?

A lot of ppl seem to prefer them over the Nismo. I'm not sure why as the reasons they specify it sounds more like a setup issue personally.

Personally I've been in a couple of cars with Nismo front diffs setup correctly by RPM and they were fine after run-in.

I'd do transfer case mod>front diff> rear diff (in that order)

    • 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.
