Anyone done a NZ road trip? Budgeting for about a week there in early Jan

I haven't yet, but looking to next year as well. Are you thinking of going to any tracks while over there? Highlands Motorsport Park is definitely on my list to visit while there.

Yea I hired a hyandai with my cousin and followed the WRC cars from stage to stage, 

My tip, spend longer in Queenstown and less in Auckland if you plan on hitting those places.. 

See some glaciers, good roads and driving around there, just driving from one city to the next has plenty of good stop off points to see some shit.

Mad thanks

Gonna be flying in and out of Auckland (north island) so will just head down from there, won't get as far as Queenstown in a week but good to know there's plenty to see

That moment when your car mechanic says 40% leakdown test on cylinder 2 exhaust valve but your engine rebuilder says head is fine....

Never had any milky oil and headgasket looks fine....

What does this mean? Rings on cyl2?

    • 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.
