Got hit by two dozey drivers inside one hour in the Stagea on Monday...No structural damage but plenty of $$$$s worth (tailgate, rear bumper skin etc). First a woman decided to take off while looking out her drivers window and went straight up the back of it; she just assumed as the road was clear to the right we'd have gone... Then on the way out to Bocchinos for a quote on that, I stopped for a second in/across the driveway of some business, a bloke walked out, looked straight at me, then got in, looked out the passenger side and reversed straight back into the rear quarter of the Stag. He thought I would have gone by then...

What the hell am I missing, the level of driving ability here is monumentally shithouse. Seriously...go forward; look forward! Go back, look behind you! Not go forward and look far away to your right, go back and look down the road to your left!?!

Got a wire wheel wielding wench to clean up all the rust in the boot too and chucked a few coats of primer on it to keep it rust free.

Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Any reason why your pulling the head off and changing the head gasket??

yeah unless you're chasing a million billion KW I wouldn't bother.

I mean look at Jack's R33,

Stock unopened motor, big turbo, few other things, 350kw.

    • 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
