feet up today Dale?

Fkn I wish. Turns out I was so apparently keen at the interview on Friday, they asked me to start tomorrow, so I have been busier than a one armed walpaperer with an itchy sack :(

After 6 months of doing fckall, it feels REALLY good to say "..got work tomorrow..."

Suppose you'll find out Friday night. If she gets a turn?;-) chirping second like a angry caged cockato, luring you in to mongrel the index finger.

Did u get a short shift for it? I put a poxy speco gear knob on mine to replace the even poxier skull that was on it when I bought it. Then put a tomei duracon on it. Heaps better with the tomei loads more feel.

Be careful of the back mate. I've done the discs twice in the L1234, doc reconds next time operating. I do back excersizes everyday when I hit time and a half ;-) and wear a lumbar brace at work. I've found the thermoskin one from the chemist isn't so intrusive. Keeps the back warm and has rigidity plus flexibility. I mash the shower on red hot in the morning and compress the spine with the boiling hot water to warm it up. Works for me.

When it's been really bad after the herniation. I do excersizes in the hydrotherapy pool warm down in the spa over 2-3 weeks then build up to swimming laps in the heated indoor pool with training fins. Only freestyle stroke. The training fins really build up the lower back muscles.

I hear you bro. This isnt my first time on the roundabout though. Had herniation surgically removed from L4/5 twice before, this time they thought it would be the same, turned out to be an arseload of scar tissue from the first 2 ops, plus my disc had collapsed completely (hence the fusion) plus loaded up the L5/S1 so that one will be the next isue.

    • 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.
