cunny funts

Dave, sexeh rims, I want! but with a black centre... you give me? :)

See you bastards next Thursday? Mine should be back on the blacktop by then, sans massive epic engine build...

Nah, doubtful, mine should be getting tuned then, the thursday after should be ok

good to see car is up and running... been reading alot about it.. nice rims and N1GTR hmmm not so nice rims... not what i expected to see on your car

They're not whats meant to be on there :banana:

They're temporary

Yup

So who is up for a meet up tonight :domokun:

Where from and to?

I have a 7am start tomorrow so depends where to and i may be able to come - although mines run in now :P

im having drinks at mine after skating... It's not planned but it always happens anyway...

if you're in the area, give me a bell :domokun:

Figure skating right? lol

My engine would be run in if i had to drive to your neck of the woods :P

Two issues i have with the car. The gearbox/engine sandwich not being installed means the heat from the engine transfers to the gearbox tunnel and then into the cabin. With no A/C yet, the cabin heats up very quickly.

The other is the gearbox itself. The syncros are buggered. Shifting into first at a set of lights sound like engaging a straight cut box, and if i downshift too fast into 4th it grinds. So i think a full box rebuild is on the cards after Powercruise.

Ill be heading out to Harry's Cafe at Liverpool at around 9ish.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • 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
