Yeh two issue in a row and fingers crossed I was running a phot comp with SAU and HPI and that should be in the in the next issue Not sure though. It will be along the lines of how to take good pics, I did not write it but the pictures are from SAU members so that should be good.

The times were utter bullshit. The autosports cars WERE NOT the fastest on the day, and they weren't doing anywhere near the 1:06's claimed by the author.

The fastest car on the day was Dumhed in the black NA silvia. He overtook both of the autosports cars reasonably easily and he was running 1:09-1:10 all day

A few of us timed the autosport cars at 1:10-1:12 consistantly

don't worry, I told wheels magazine that I was doing 1:04s all day, and 1:05's on Nankangs, but using my feet for extra push down the straight.

At first they didn't believe me, but I just yelled "GTR!" at them until they thought I must be a professional race driver.

Hey just to let people know I was given this information by people on the day Brad gave me his times as he stated that he was timed doing 1:06:XX but sitting around the 1:10 bracket for most of the day. Remember there where no offical times out their. Offical timers from now on I say. And no offence for pissing people off with the times Club exposure was more my concern.

    • 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.
