Did everybody leave,

Anyway Sciby about the inside of my car, the seats are all getting recovered and most of the inside, am at the moment buying up compoents for my stero, once I have them all the whole inside of the car comes out and the new one goes in with the stero. the whole boot will be done and inside insert hopefully if I can afford it recovered in leather. Tan most likelywith the orginal balck mixed in, new carpet for the floor to plus the walls being detone. I want to do it up so I might get into like Hot4s mag, the outside has some body changes,

Clear tail lights, the four cannons, to complete the ass end of the car, the side skirts are getting re firbeglassed and the front bar renforced. paint the brake calpers and then try to get the paint looking shinny. the out side is almost complete now. This car is going to cost me alot of money but it is what I want to do.

Just looking up stats for a standard GTR and it sez 0-400 metres in 14.4 for a 32. That was in Unique Cars June. I was under the impression that they went a little quicker. Still piss nervous about the drags, but then i used to chunder before rugby so if anyone sees me blow chunks on saturday don't be suprised. Should be a mad day anyway. Dan you have to run come on do it for the appressed silvia Q's in australia. Hella keen to see the two preludes too.

You reckon dev, just found out at lunch I am looking at $1500.00 for re triming the stuff I want as in the seats and the doors insert and other stuff in yellow valour that not using leather. Leather is like 2/3 the price of that again. Plus Leather get hot valour more practical. Bright yellow it is, first stage is everything but the seats and that will happen in the next month or so like $450.00 at the most.

Dude, relax. It's all good. First time out there, no one's expecting a record-breaking pass. :cheers:

And those stats are never really accurate... my gts should be about to break 14s, (I hope) and you're faster than I am.

    • 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.
