i imported the car privately and took delivery of it mid-december...

purposely imported it near stock for the possibility of any future plans...

uni ended up being more expensive than i expected and with jana getting pregnant we had to advertise the car a bit heavier to fund for baby but unfortunately her cramps and pains ended up in a miscarriage but it was kind of okay because we were still fairly early into the pregnancy...

so i ended up not having to be as desperate as i initially was, i've had a few offers on the car since but they are all a few thousand dollars less than how much i'd let the car go for...

plans are as follows;

GT30 turbo

FMIC

Bosch 044

Injectors

Power FC

EBC - won't use MBC anymore because i will be getting workshop to do the work

BOV

i think that's it for now, had a few workshops get back to me... waiting on all their replies to see which one would be more 'bang for your buck' then i'll be visiting the bank

also cosmetically the plans are as followed;

CF bonnet (vented)

CF boot

CF GT-Wing

new bodykit of some sort

possibly new wheels (typical black 18'' with polished lip) - should have bought myself some before i bought a set for my girlfriend *shakes head*

Aero Mirrors

that's it for now...

i think then and maybe only then will i be 100% satisfied with my R34 but realistically the cosmetic side of it satisfies me to an extent, i really do desire more power and response though i really do

feel free to comment, would love to hear your opinions positive or negative, all welcome...

thanks

P.S: don't think i've forgotten about jana through this whole ordeal, we're organising to go skiing at perisher / thredbo and see a few eastern state cities while on my 7 week uni break and at the end of the year we're going to go for an asian pacific cruise (partially for her cousin's wedding)

we plan to travel every year as we went to singapore and phuket last year... great way to revitalise you're relationship :blink: though we had to find out the hard way :)

cheers, Andrew

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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.
