^^ Haha... mine's going to be the "family car" so its fast enough as is. Ben's will always be the stupidly fast/loud one :D

Congrats on the purchase babe. I was looking at it too incidentally (before I committed to buying the house LOL), but I've never liked buying any car with so many kms on it. But $15K for a 260 is still $15K for a 260. So when are you taking me for a cruise in it? :)

BTW are you and Ben going to meet up with me and the others before cruising in our "family cars" to the Auto Salon? :D

I can certainly live with a 97 model stagea doing an average of 13500ks a year. Like i said, if i didn't know the car was mechanically sound, i wouldn't have bought it.

No one can burst my happy bubble about this car LOL!

We are heading in today, we'll be there about 12. Where are you guys meeting up?

Meeting a few guys at 12 not far away from Wayville. PM sent about it.

Hey, if something breaks on your 260, you can always 'borrow' parts off Ben's 260 :D

"Honey, the indicator is not flashing, can I see if your turbo grades will fix it?" :)

Enjoy ya 260 when you get it ... I'm just jealous :D

The reason why he was selling it so cheap as i mentioned before, is he had to all of a sudden move countries!! We were just in the right situation at the right time, thanks to Joel buying the GTR. The reason for the car being a bargain Didn't have everything to do with the k's on the clock.

I'll let you have a drive roo...

He's already looking at bits he can steal for his!!

thought I saw you and ben yesterday on the Parade at Norwood around mid day... crossed over for a closer look and it was not Bens black 260rs s1 but one I have never seen before. Was nice meeting up before the salon to cruise in with some other wagons. Also looks like bens enjoying not having the front tailshaft in at the moment? :thumbsup:

Yeah i can't wait for the stag cruise, ill have my new one by then. Was good to chat to you, even though it was very briefly.

Yeah, ben's going nuts in rear wheel drive thats 4sure... He gets a few evil glares from me sometimes haha!

^^ lol as you do i only just had mine put back in after about 7 months hmmmm 2wd fun

any ways pink is good adds to the sleeperness of the wagon :thumbsup:

haha, na MRS260 white on black i reckon??

I still vote for SLO260, cos it will be compared to mine babe.... :)

Hmm one in white, one in black, its like trying to make a decision, having a lil white angel with wings telling you to do the good thing and a lil devil telling you to do the evil things! lol! The white one is for good, the black one is for evil! :thumbsup:

    • 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.
