Is all very interesting :)

Roy, nice choice mate. With the freedoms in Classic you could turn a DR into a good thing :)

You'll get good money for it if you do well in it. Only if the car is reknown for pace though. IMO

This is Brisby we are talking about here.

If he builds it (1.2% chance of him actually doing it rather than just talking about it!) it will look good, sound great but due to some whack theory he devises he will actually make it go quite slowly.

But it should end up with nice brakes if nothing else.

:)

Feeling the love Bris??

You build it and I will drive it.... you seemed happy enough to let me have a crack in the RB20 of awesomeness at Benalia for some nuts....

Whole early, early modern and late, early modern split is bogus, when post 86 was modern, life was so much easier! Without any knowledge of whys and wherefores, contention that the addition of late cosmetics, on an essentially unchanged platform, put you 6 or 7 minutes up the road....you gotta say, take the hand off the pud, gurus.

Yeah mate spotted that, but it's a fair way over the odds.

And Benny, no thanks. lol

buy my emo 6 RS. has the CR box (which is awesome for circuit/tarmac etc), has upgraded LSDs front, rear and centre. no gAYC or ACD, strong 200kw, ohlins suspension, TE37s etc. nice and straight and full registered. I'm getting keen to sell too so will move off my high horse!

I took it out to wakefield the other day and even on street tyres (dunlop Z1*) I managed a 1:12 which is bloody hauling considering I'm pretty shit behind the wheel. no ABS though I think (not that I've had any bad lock-ups, would be nice for tarmac though).

they are farking quick and with all the LSds the thing is still a bit hairy and fun to drive. it does have way more grip that it deserves though!

I'm not quite sure who/what you're taking aim at? Care to elaborate? I think you're referring to Series 6 through 8 RX7's?

Let the record state, I for one couldn' give a rats arse about them. Come one, come all I reckon :)

Richard your being an enabler! Can you go and sell some crack to some teens instead?

you been following me again? lol, it's not like i'm adding another emo to the world. just passing one on! wooster is already practically a woman in pants so the emo will suit him to a tee.

well in my RS is mech clutch plate for the center LSD, just like the front and rear. not sure what the stock VI has. probably open diff?

all I can say is if I can pilot that car to a 1:12 at wakefield (bear in mind street tyres, 200kw and small brakes), then it's a fking weapon of a car. cause it sure as hell isn't the driver... I can't drive a greasy stick up a dogs arse.

    • 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.
