the name was RaceNbounce magazine

they emailed me back asking for some photos of my car for readers rides since its not high modded. but im not going to send any sounds to me like they want to know exactly what is in my car and how do boost it.

the address is [email protected] so just a google email.

yeah i do lock my car up tight, it has a kill switch and 3 point immobiliser so no way its goin anywhere. but if they are pros nuffin can really stop them.

i got it insured for 26 600 so good luck to em haha.

this is the exact email just so ya know

"hmm, seems you got off the email too quickly. well since it doesn't have too many modifications, what we can do is you can send in a couple of high res pictures of your car, and we can put it in the inbox section of readers ride. And when you have more mods maybe we can do a feature artcile on it.

The magazine is called Race n Bounce. It's a new magazine set to be released in late January. It is QLD only and most of our first issues will be released around the Brisbane Cuty area and North , South, East and West locations. Our magazine retails at $6 which is really cheap compared to other ones on the market today.

The magazine not only features performance cars, but also I.T reviews, music, games and technology. So if your interested in sending us a few pictures of your car and what you want to do to it, than feel free to. We will chuck it in the inbox section for you. (for free :worship: )

(also if you know anyone that would be interested in advertising withn our magazine please hit em up with our email, as our prices are very cheap. thanks)

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Fabian

Owner- Race n Bounce magazine."

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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.
