to all SAU,

last night a friend died in a car crash near city beach, it seems no one was really at fault, no speeding, no drugs, just an unseen car and then bamm. he was my gf's half brother. the driver and him were only 17 and 16. i was out driving last night nearby, and got pulled over at the booze bus on empire. we could all see the ambulance lights speed by.

its hit all of us pretty hard, plz everyone take care on the roads, u dont have to be doing anything stupid or illegal to take someones life away. the driver who survived would be going through so much right now, even though blame cant really be laid. our thoughts are with all involved.

keep alert out there, and maybe one less life would have to be lost

damn i sound like a road safety ad, but thats what my message is

Sorry to hear mate.

I myself witnessed a head on(car was on wrong side of road for no reason) a few weeks back and was first on scene. Was a big eye opener and not a pretty sight. You can be the best driver in the world but you cant stop others hitting you.

Like you said drive safe and be alert.

All the best.

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • 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
