hey richo, had exactly the same problem man. Went down to Autosport on Magil road, they don't stock HKS, but what they did do was measure my orginal filter and then had an exact replacement made out of the UNIfilter element. Pulls just as hard as before, if not better, and best of all is completely washable and reusable, unlike HKS. Gets better though, price...$35! PM me for details and I'll put you on to the guy I dealt with, he's really good!

cheers Richo, but not my car anymore...sadly. Imported it as is from Japan about 2 years ago, had it here for a week not even complianced yet and someone else saw it in the workshop and made me an offer I couldn't refuse, so to speak, lol. Last I heard it got sold interstate, but yea it was sweet looking! At the moment I've got a TT Soarer, doesn't handle like a Line but plenty of balls and you can't beat the luxury!!

why does it have to be the hks one? like mxt said, so witht he store at magill. Seems like a bargain to me.

It takes 2 weeks to get the replacement made with the guys at magill, and I need it before that.

But yes it is a great deal and if i can't find it anywhere else, I'll have to go with them.

Give Jap Tech Imports a go on 8266 0212.

Funny guy this one. offered me "HKS" complete units from 70 to 120 dollars depending on the quality I want, :werd: Correct me if im wrong but aren't they all the same price and quality and about 200 - 250 for a complete unit?.

So I explained to him that I was just after the replacement to which he replied: no mate dont have the replacements in stock , but try KMart they sure have them... WTF!! :alcoholic

:bahaha: :P :bahaha:

I did source one from them when I had my HKS pod it was about $60 for replacement (the 15cm one). Well I don't think Ill be goin to them for anymore parts, when I can just go to my local Kmart :(

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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
