haha, nice comments except the stabbing eyes out one :P rang em just then and they aint even got it started yet, and now tommorow at the earliest :( i been sitting round all day twiddling my thumbs waiting for em to call as they said its a 30-45 min job, and now i gotta wait, arhhh pisses me up the wall all these farkin delays :)

so tommorow hopefully, or maybe even monday as i might not be able to pick it up tommorow night as im workin about 70km from home and we dont finish to 4pm or so :O

im sick of cars and the damn setbacks :O

anyway, cruise over anytime alex, etc ill take ya's for a spin, if its operating correctly :)

I notice you still have the wheels youve always had.........dont they hit the suspension?

hey mate yer same wheels, just raised the suspension abit to allow clearance :D i really need some 19s or 18s to fill the wheel arches as they still sit well above the tyres, but power is always more important than appearance :turned:

"but power is always more important than appearance "

Yep, funny that.

I looked at honestly about 100+ different wheels from Jap, to Euro, to Copies, to Stock and everything seriously.......and after 2 months, I spent $500 on 4 wheels....saved me some cash for other stuff :turned:

good stuff, i reckon who cares what other people can see (wheels, bodykit, etc) i'd much rather an ear to ear grin when i plant my foot :) and people still look but with their jaw almost touching the floor, hehe i love it :P

    • 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
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
