Thanks all....

Yeah, dezz i havent driven the Monaro since Heathcote hahahahaha its just not me and now that the GTO is haning around the monaro isnt looking so tasty anymore!

The rims are Lenso Muse in a 19... 18's just didnt fill the guards enough.. the photos dont do the car justice, in the flesh it looks mint..

No track work for me!!! I learnt my lesson once so if i do get track fever again ill be on the look out for a cheap fun track car...

Its a shame you had the drama you did. Its always a risk. What year model is it? Does it have the 5spd or 6spd, i seem to remember the late model ones havign 6 spds?

I drove this car :(, and it is trully awesome.

I would even say that off the line this may have have beaten Shivam's 32GTR, b4 his mechanic troubles, for the first 100m. As Dave stated the RB26 has more up top.

This car really surprised me and Dave made the right choice, the amount of low end torque is incredable, especially for a modified twin turbo car.

i learnt to drive in a GTO when i was 16... my dad had a 91 model with a lot of porsche running gear in it...

awesome cars... so cheap in NZ too which is good :( until u go to resell it.

oh and does it have the leather interior with all the gadgets?? ie adjustable mufflers and all the other gizmos

No leather but has all the gadgets, like adjustable mufflers, cruise control, Active Aero which is fun (at 80kph the front spoiler drops as u can see in the photos and therear spoiler moves)

Ill be with you all at the next drag day to see how she goes!

Launching from a standstill is just rediculous witin it, fantastic traction, even in the wet.. im keen to see my 60 foot times.

Have to agree ... after seeing this car in person, the car is mint!!! Very sleek looking car in person thats for sure.

and DAMN those wheels look good in those pics!! :)

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • 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
