On behalf of Qikstagea I can confirm the rear lights are S1 - He did have a nice set of clear side indicators - but the left side got squished by the pole. Motor is completely stock. Surprisingly the FMIC is still intact

I have bought the blow off valve, throttle body and weather deflectors.

hey mate i seen ya post i wasnt sure if u meant the same things so i posted anyway :laugh: sorry for trying to steal the goodies :rofl:

Hi mate - wounded when I saw the pics of your ride up mate ;) - I was hoping it was some sick PhotoShop joke - anyway like you said its only metal at the end of the day - you walked away and thats all you can ask for I quess.

If you've got 'em I'm after the little clear lenses on the interior roof lights 'cause mine are cracked, and also the high level brake light assembly if thats still in. Small packets to the UK shouldn't be too bad I guess but I'll pay the price anyhow of course. Cheers mate and here's to your next ride! :)

yeah i sent him some money for a fuel cap, but now he wont answer any pm's and i sent the money over two weeks ago

...and he has logged on to the forums but is ignoring my PM's!!!!!!!!!!!

now i guess every one has a "little" of rob in them :(

That's very sweet!

I hope Rob doesnt mind me replying on his behalf...I didnt know the guy until I went round just to poke my nose under the tarp covering his beloved car. Back then - a couple of weeks ago, he was being very philosphical about the accident. But, as with any post truamatic experience, by now the reality will have set in, along with the nervous shivers that you get every time you think about what 'could' have happened.

I'm sure the rest of his family are constantly reminding him of 'what if' and while they probably dont mean any harm, sometimes the off handed remark can cut deep into a bruised and bloodied conscience.

It would be next to impossible for him to go outside and strip bits off the car without reliving the whole emotional experience. If he has ever gone outside to look at it again since I was down there, I would be surprised.

I suppose there was some truth hidden in one of Rob's early post when he said that if any one wanted anything they would have to come around to get it.

The grille has become an icon of survival.

Anyhow, I'll shut up now and let Rob speak when he wants/needs to.

    • 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.
