Hmmmm.... I leave for one day and my performance thread has tax advice on it..... hmmmmm

oh well that is cool with me....

Hey that was a good night thursday night...

I had a blast...

I don't know about that dude in the GTiR though... I promise you I didn't rev my motor and he still did a limiter launch... silly boy you should know that if I don't race there is something wrong cause I will race anything that moves if the cops ain't around... oh well expensive lesson I suppose...

Hey at our prime garage spank was cruising with 13 Cars... that is a good effort for just a little get together for Tone on the virginal run of the Cosmo...

Man that thing goes... although I am keen for a rematch... hell I might have to throw some more money at my car...

Actually at least I did that commodore over... crappy VL turbos... Although apparently that is a nice one... I even had time to pull the clutch in and grab some more revs to race him... that is almost ashame... but that is what you get for owning a barge that doesn't have a V8 (just thought I better recognize that Vals have the fat ass... although at 1380 Kg... they are lighter than Jays Taxi!! )

Actually if my 'cooler turns up in time I might have to go on the 16th... my car is like twice as fast at night than it is in the day... A nice cool August day and a nice shiny new intercooler could be the perfect thing for some fun and games at the track...

Dev I am bulk keen to see how you go at the Drags... these All Wheel Drive things shouldn't have to much traction trouble... not to much skill involved.... what is it.... limiter.... dump.... at least it looks like you got skills... I'm hearing those magical no. Dev 12.99 that is a 12 in anyone's books...

actually I am hoping it won't take to much to talk Tone into running... I would think it will run a low 13 now... he beat me by a car lenght and has a heap more in tuning to go yet... so that should be good if we can get it sorted for the 16th...

the problem is all these people that are so worried about everyone else that they won't go to the drags so they can say "oh yeah my car runs the numbers... " but yet they never just have the simple fun of racing... weither it runs 11's or 19's no one really cars as long as you have fun... and that is what I am trying to get Tone to recognise... he is worried that the Cosmo has a Reputation and if it isn't full tuned and running like 12's someone will think it is junk... I say let them think it is Junk but they'd want to be packing one hell of a peice of machinery to top him on the street after some more little tuning mods...

And I really want to see these preludes run as well... I like the VTEC motors... I raced a 1.6 VTEC Civic when my Silvia was still non-turbo... I beat it... but it was still cool... 1.6 and it never left my door... pretty impressive.... although Boost is better...

Anyway Emma is having a House Warming Party tonight so I better go do the right thing... I hope to see you all there... I will need your help to drink the BEER... there is like so much of it... she really put alot of effort in so I hope you all have fun...

anyway guys have fun and keep it smoking...

I WILL GET THAT ROTOR NEXT TIME... NEXT TIME TONY, NEXT TIME

Hi everyone it really was a great night last night. Kingy you should have come and pulled up with us, that was what we where waiting for.

Oh yeah dudes, just thought I'd share Marshall's and Hoary's idea with you all. They both reckon that you need "HSV: I JUST SPANKED ONE" stickers, LOL, go the spank crew!

    • 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.
