Yeh I saw it and its not ment to drag race its from G-Tech and the car has balls its a handful i see him come down the street near my work an i bet most peoplke would have a hard time driving it as when it hits boost its all over the road. I was surprised on his first coupling attemps that he was not all over the strip, in my books he is a skilled driver to keep that thing straight

I just got back from heathcote. Ran my GTR. Only 2 runs.

First 13.3@108mph, Second 12.8@06mph

Car is stock, besides catback exhaust & hks air filters

how come you only got 2 runs? were there heaps of cars running?

normally should get alot more than that!

i cant wait to get mine down there bit of a hike 6 hrs but i think it will be well worth it wanna run a got time with all the work done to it

Is there a 1/8 mile track in Mildura?

I remember my first attempt at calder. Pretty intimidating. Racing a 12sec 1930s hotrod, open exhausts. couldn't hear my engine. could only took at the tacho to see if it was still running!

Actually, there were only around 8-10 cars racing :D I didnt see a need to race anymore, 12.8 is pretty much the best the car can do with stock boost, and just catback exhaust. No need to stress it out anymore in my opinion.

yer there a 1/8 mile but i waana run a 1/4 time and as mildura is a small town word gets round quick n ppl talk shyt nut im guessing that there aint mush diffrent were ever you go buy the look of things just cause you have a bad day at the drags ppl on your case

Nothing to be intinidate about...just let this noisy bloody things hammer off down the track while you sit there and listen to your tunes...When they have cleared the 60ft then let it rip. The noise thing from open ended pipes and V8s makes it hard. But i find you forget there are ppl around when you start to concentrate. You almost zone out

my first ever run was a against a 33 GTR that almost broke into 11's....12.1 or 12.2 i beleive he ran...

i honestly paid no attention to what he was doing, and im certain he paid no attention to me...everyones there to beat their own time, and rarely racing the car next to them....dont be intimidated...sure i was nervous for my first run, but once i hit the finish line, i couldnt wait to run again!

    • 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.
