I'm never happy with my cars so many ideas i wanna do but never get to do it. Still storming up ideas i have 2 RB30 blocks still, i'm thinking street sleeper will look pretty stock to the untrained eye all black engine bay but will be rolling on 550-600hp with 0 turbo lag, can't wait to start the engine build but i will be buying a house before any of this happens, houses suck but can't rent forever boodown.gif

Yeah New Years was pretty good from what i remember was fairly smashed, went to the northern beaches bowls club it was packed but i had fun don't remember walking home.

Also want to ask anyone is interested in doing trip to the Superlap this year in August, as i won't be going to Powercruise or Jambo this year as i will be in Las Vegas. Some very unique and hi-po GTR's from Japan are coming rumors are M-speed R34, Autoselect Yellow Shark R34 and maybe Cyber's new R35 which is taking over from their EVO will be f**king awesome can't wait to see the line up.

Yeah I'm looking into housing atm, thats why my car hasnt recieved any major upgrades lately lol

Starting my new job soon so will have a bit more money to spare then. Because of my new job though, wont be making the easter trip this year. Pretty disapointed about that but what can you do

Yeah Cal i hear ya gotta make some sacrifices i'll have no cars for awhile sad.gif but its the only way i'm gonna get a house quickly, not looking forward to $800 a week house repayments its gonna suck big hairy balls hardcore woot.gif

So pulled my sunroof out today and saw the extent of the rust damage.

So if anyone knows someone with a this part of the sunroof that wants to sell it then let me know, I was gonna take it in to get repaired but that might cost a bit to much.

Found my next car its a all original bog stock mint condition R32 with original 75000kms its from a high end GTR specialist dealer in Japan only 1380000yen which is like $18k FARK i so want it so bad its even in the colour i want as well. It is almost way too good of condition to modify should be bubble wrapped for 20yrs and then sold for $$$$$$

Goodluck trying to find a new sunroof Cal you would have to go through Nissan Japan and even then they would want a squillion dollars.

Yeah I'm trying to find one from a wrecked 33 off here, stuff going through Nissan lol. Was gonna repair mine but I'd need a new seal and who knows what else would break so would probably end up costing to much

Thats a tidy R32, almost makes me wish I'd got one

How did you go Cal have any luck with the sunroof. Have you tried Yahoo Auctions?

Very productive day for me hopefully the R33 GTR will be sold by tomorrow and then just waiting for the 350Z to acquire a new home then i will be officially car-less (fairlane doesn't count as a car cause its a heap of shit with wheels under it). Can't wait for next project car banana.gif Operation Street Sleeper hehehe last car i swear no more after this one biggrin.gif

No F-ing way this will be your last car haha

I'm looking at something a bit more practical for my next car, Audi A4 1.8L lol

The skyline will spend more time locked away then :)

Sunroof hasnt gone well so far, I emailed 3 import wreckers down south and import monster last night just seeing whos got the best price. No replies yet but I'll leave it for a few days. Probably end up putting whatever one i get in the car and (Depending how good it is) I'll get mine pulled apart, remove the rust and paint etc then get it re-sealed.

Not to worried at the moment so see how i go

dont lie them pics are off the brochure ben haha

callan just get urs fixed man atleast u know its done then and not a 2nd hand one that might already have rust starting...

Yeah I might end up fixing it. Its just the fact that it will have to be off the road for a few days and I'm running around doing inductions and shit at the moment so cant really do it at the moment lol. Maybe when I get back from my shift in a bit over a week

    • 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
