Hi all

I sold my car last night! So sadly, I will no longer be a skyline or import owner. I'm hoping to do without a car for a while. Needless to say, I will be even less active than I have been recently. Feel free to pm me though if you want to ask anything.

Thanks to everyone for their help over the years, especially Eug. You're a top bloke - always willing to take the time to help out and patient with the seeming ever increasing amount of stupid threads started (of which this is probably one!).

I've got eyes for the V35 sedans - we'll see how long it takes for me to be tempted...

Cheers

Greg

ps In the meantime I need to clear the parts in my sig, offers will be considered.

hey there greg,

thanks for the kind words, have appreciated your help and input likewise over the years.

shame about your exhaust, i so would have taken it prior to you changing your mind to send them interstate. unfortunately i've got one now.

as for the v35, do it! john (NA_R33) has got a coupe - and my god is it awesome.

all the best with future plans.

    • 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.
