need to get a valve replaced in a Tyre when I get home, any idea on how much?

it either the valve or the rim...

had a slow leak but the tyre was getting old replaced and the slow leak still there, so assuming valve or fked rim.

Last time I got a stuck valve replaced on the skyline it was free... They came out with their valve replacement tool, took off the valve cap, unscrewed the valve, screwed a new one in... Took 5 seconds, didn't even jack the car up or anything. Just replaced the 10psi of air that it dropped during the changeover.

If its the valve stem not sealing though, then thats a tyre-off job.

Also, if its the valve, then you shouldn't be losing air if you've got decent valve caps on.

Have a look at the valve stem when you get home and see if it looks new, a lot of tyre shops will replace the rubber stem and valve when they fit a new tyre.

Def not replaced.

Should probably look into some blue rays valve caps

interesting...but prob cheaper to buy a replacement ute.

could be the seal around the valve or a bunch of things, last time I got tires on the 200 they checked and the vale steam steal was cracked and perished, so it got new ones at the time.

and yeah they cheap and nasty plastic caps

Replacement ute doesn't come with a Free Instagram account and a boyfriend though...

Buy the Blue Rays valve caps, you can have all of these things and more.

LMAO!!!!

So last night I got some immunisations and threw a post up on FB taking a jab at Anti-Vaxxers... This morning I spot a Facebook Message sitting in my "Others" folder from some ransom person (friend of an international friend) saying "You won't be laughing when your children become retarted due to the governments lack of due diligence!"

1. Yes, she went out of her way to send a message to someone she doesnt know.
2. Yes, she's in an idiot.

3. Yes, she's "retarted"

Dat great weather, prime time to go and start enjoying a car...

..shame I blew the head gasket/cracked the block/lifted the head 7000kms after paying 12k+ to get the engine re-assembled last night!

the cycle cannot be broken

I don't think this was caused by you being Greg, I think this was caused by that abortion of a sentence.

    • 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.
