mitchy what happened to your car??

only did one run eyy then took off and saw some smoke coming form the rear... turbine eyy???

i got footage of that 33 spinning out! MADNESS! some one owes the big man

huh? Mitchy's car was running?

Let me guess...the smoke was from the heat off his feet losing traction on the track trying to launch it...a-la flinstone style :D haha

yeh I saw it as he was collecting the time slip... wasn't it a fresh engine? can't be happy about having to yank it out again!

So what were the other GTR times for the night... who had the fastest time from our lane???

anyone know whats been done to that bloke's car who spun out 1/4 track

It has been tuned by a new workshop called "YOGA"... he was simply trialing out "salute to the sun" (a yoga position), and since the sun was setting he had to slide it to the west.......... what a dedicated student.

Had a great fun night, put up some poor time but hey first time there. Was great to see all the lines out and had some good chats to alot of ppl!

Only did a 14.4, but the car has a very big dead spot on 4000 which has baffled me... oh well great experiance!

Was a Good Night... and enjoyed racing other skylines...

I had traction problems n i think my Tyres r going. I couldn't even get into the 13'z

where last time i could get into 13'z easily. Was a bit frustratin... cuz i was aimin to get mid to low 13'z,

would of got quicker times if just rolled off slowly haha..

Had a good run wif Strich9 where i mis-shifted going into 2nd to 3rd.. n i was just bouncing off the Redline :(

so ne 1 got High 11'z or What?????

Haha, funny shit :(

Was glad everyone enjoyed themselves, even if the times weren't what we all hoped for :laugh:

I was right next to him and there was alot of smoke coming out the back..... I would like to know what it was. My guess is a oil line burst onto the engine.

thats what it looked like from the people up top! lil bit of smoke might be f*kall!

    • 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.
