Hey ppls.

Well, it has finally come down to it and I need to sell my pride and joy.

You all know how much I love my car, and I make this decision with a heavy heavy heart. :laugh:

It has been serviced every 5k-7.5k kilometers and every 10-15ks I change all fluids, including diff and gearbox.

So you can see I've spent around $16k building a tough car.

I'm sure that I've spent more, and I'll add things I've done at the thread grows if required.

As you can see from the graph below, it's a solid performer.

Achievements

Dyno

250 rwkw, Race Pace Dyno (Chart Below)

It's a solid performer and will have a tune refresh before sale after I fixed the wastegate the other day.

Quarter Mile

12.9 @ 113 mph. The car is good for mids 12s with the right rubber.

Track

Winton

1.45:4 (when it had 200rwkw)

DECA, well, you know how it goes at DECA.

Will come with Road Worthy Certificate.

Price

$34,000

This price is very reasonable for a car with the amount of work which mine has had put into it.

I wash and was it regluarly, I drive it very sedatly on the roads, infact I've never gotten a speeding fine in this car.

Nothing has been left to chance on this car. If I though it needed something new, I just went and bought it. If something wore out, or needed replacing, I replaced it with the best.

Try to build it cheaper........

NO Test Pilots.

NOBODY will be driving my car until I see a deposit.

I will take you on as many drives as you want, but until you are going to front with the money, there will be no piloting.

Bass has managed to sort out his finances.

Bass keeps his car.

    • 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.
