I had a kogan dash cam when I went driving in Europe. Footage is nowhere near as epic as the scenery was irl (bad) but you can hear me saying things like "fkn hurry up m8" to the slow cars in front of me (good)

VWL engine swap day may not go ahead...for now.

Had a mechy pressure test the cooling system and check combustion chamber coolant...found a loose hose clamp that was letting air into the system. Engine now running cooler than ever thanks to the 1.3 bar cap (might put the old cap back on to get the temp up a bit when not doing track days).

However, there was a slight trace of oil in cooling system - potentially a slow head gasket leak or what he thinks could be an oil/water heat exchanger that can leak one into the other. May get an oil cooler to bypass this.

$100 later :)

Alternately:

Found out my "blown head gasket" is actually a cracked block... 7000kms after the build.

$12,000 to fix like last time and 6 months+

Also stock neo, $2500-3k.

mmmmmmmm...

Put an RB30 in it mate

Sell your stroker kit to recoup some funds

Never look back

There's a dash cam in the UK that is designed for motorsport too - pretty exxy at like $400 but it has 10hz GPS tracking / lap timer and heaps of other motorsport shit built into it; GoPro quality camera and sound / external mic input. Looked like a good all in one solution you could use on the street as an everyday dash cam too.

Falcon engine still going strong at 370rwkw 4 years on :D

get a miami engine and bolt it in brah

yeah, for 20k with a bunch of custom work

or you could LS swap it for a couple thou and throw a huge cam at it

Shhiiiiit Greg. I'd be done. If pulsar motor died again, I'd be done. Stock motor in, worry about other Shit later.

Daily the GTR? That's keen. Personally I'd be keeping kms and waiting for US import and club reg to start rising prices.

by the time you charge it would be the same money, but yeah get a LS and keep it N/A

or just sell the POS as is and move on

Second hand dashes can fix that

    • 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.
