think of it as a reason to spray your flared fenders and finally put them on

well... hit the wall at Mallala last weekend... basically front left onto grass and understeered and couldnt get it back... Front of car into tyre wall. Minimal damage considering f**ked up in top of third gear. damage was - crack paint on passenger guard, passenger indicator dead, front bar inihilated, front indicator destroyed or gone and a split intercooler silicon hose. Wheel alignment tomorrow but i think it should be A OK!

  • 3 weeks later...

here's a dyno sheet of the new setup - just changed to hks gt 2540

tuned by SIMON at MORPOWA auto and dyno!!!

end result is 240rwkw at Morpowa's dyno. (known to read a LOT lower than some others around!)

top of the graph is suspected wheel spin. even with 80L of water, strapped down and 2 guys sitting in the boot.

We are now suspecting that the engine is in fact a low compression engine, and as it was built in japan, really go nfi if it is or not. So just guessing it is because of the boost that is needed. Tune is very safe still with AFR's in the 11.5 - 11.2's on pump fuel.

I'm happy, and yet to test drive it!

Should be fun!!!

bugger all more than the 2530, i haven't driven it on high boost yet. low boost ( 1bar) feels about the same as it did before

also now fitted

Power Steering Cooler

Triple flash strobes hehe

spacers rear 25mm

rear guards pumped and flared roughly 25-30mm ***LOOKS PHAT***

re-painted guards, now colour matched (well better matched lol)

got 9pairs of tyres to kill this weekend :banana:

    • 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.
