Yeah Prank, it's who you think it is.

No luck today picking up my skyline, salesman didn't know anything about my car and the boss went on holidays to the snow.

The boss promised me he would pass all relevant information and paperwork to his salesman before he went away on the chance that today my car would be ready to register.

Another entry gets written on my webpage about this saga.

The salesman didn't even know where my car was. It would be interesting if my car has made the trip to the snow...

I've told a lot of people i'm getting the car and people have seen it being driven around with trade plates by the boss of this company.

I've taken a pic of the number of Ks the car had done when it arrived off Botany wharf at their workshop. Might have some words when I pick up the car if the Ks are significantly different.

I'll give you a call when I get word it's ready Prank.

JiMbO, it's not as bad as it sounds.

Its a young crew (owner is 24) and they don't seem to be very organised.

The problem is, he is trying to sell more cars than he can handle so a lot of the customers are having to wait.

My car and a couple of others he imported were kept for over a month by customs because they were "red flaged" or "red something-ed".

They arn't bad, they can't handle the work they have (they also do the compliance work). They make promises that they have no control over eg. I've heard "It will be here next week" about 4-5 times.

They have just had a bad trot with wiating for cars from the wharf (which is out of their direct control).

So do I.

I've asked Prank to come down with me when I pick up the car to make sure it isn't a lemon.

I haven't driven a turbo car before and i'm use to my 1.6l laser. I'm unsure how they should perform so i've asked someone who is local for some help.

Prank has been nice enough to give up his time to take my car for a fang around the streets of Manly... he seems like a very good bloke.

Maybe this week is the week I get my skyline... I hope so anyway.

BTW, what is tech support like? I graduate at the end of the year and am looking for a job as a programmer or similar.

    • 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
