You under estimate the handling of the FG chassis with coilovers! actually handles pretty decent imo i'd be very surprised if you could loose me through the twisties :P NT05s are awesome tyres too!

Jamie any good pics from the weekend?

Yeah I did, got some of your car too.

Will also be editing them for ESTBLSHD.

Yeh, I'm yet to experience the boaty feeling, mine just oversteers a lot lol.

After doing a bit of research and found out what the Tarmac/gravel/rain actually do..

You can get rid of the boaty feeling by driving it on gravel.

Most of the driving I did was on tarmac so I noticed it quite a bit, although if I did take a spin down my road (gravel) I had noticed it felt less boaty
either way it's your money for the car, depends what you really want to do with it, just research into all the options and decide on what's best for you

Yeh.

Found that Tarmac has a higher clamp load but the least responsive to clamp when straightening the car.

Gravel, is a high clamp load and quick to respond.

Wet is a minimal clamp load, but the quickest to respond.

Eh.

Might just replace it. Was thinking of selling( shuttup) and saving for a house and just taking a company vehicle until then, then buy another emo after..

But I'm struggling to bring myself to sell it lol

yo aaron, always wondered with the less common mercs (G and GLs)... are they delivered per order, or do many (if any) dealerships actually keep stock? Cause theyre so uncommon I thought it might be especially imported by people other than merc

Depends on the floor plan of the dealership. Some will stock them, but need to be sold within a certain time frame.. So not all dealerships will have them, but if they need them they will take it from another dealership and add to their floorplan, or if not the correct colour options etc, they will order one from germanyia and it is usually received within the month..

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
