Random Little Question Thread
Using mile markers and timed how long it took at 60mph
Just get a couple of cars to drive with you on the highway, one of which can set the pace at different speeds, then compare. A GPS will be fairly accurate as well.
Quick question for you guys. I have an 04 g35 sedan and I recently noticed a slight knock sound at idle. Weird thing is you can only hear it from the inside of the car. And once you're moving, you won't hear it. You won't hear it outside the car or even if you open the hood. It's more "loud" at the passenger side. I took a video using my phone just for you guys to have an idea. All I did before this was change the stock intake to ztube and about the same time I had an oil change. (I check the oil once in a while and everything is good there as well). I'll
Also add that sometimes when at cold start it won't have that knock sound as well
Thoughts?

Are you serious? Tire Calculator is all he needs, it will be mathematically correct, it will not include human error and best of yet he can do it from his computer.

Also our gauge clusters are not accurate, for instance mine is 2-3 mph off.

Please elaborate on how that calculates for Final Drive gearing...
I think the better question that hasn't been answered yet (previous page BTW) is do the 05's read their speed from the front sensors or the those in the rear???
