My car's been of the road for 2 months now.. hopefully back on the road in a month if not 3. So I know how you feel (slightly :thumbsup:)

Left her at 240kw.. will come back with 320kw or so on run in, and 400kw when finished..

Can't wait. Have fun tomorrow!

jeeeezuz i waited 6weeks for my s15 and was already planning an assasination of the mechanic.

You must have had the engine built.....obviously. Any details on the specs? turbos, internals and ECU

but the question most of us want to know is......................what shop did you take it to???

Does most of you have more than 1 car??

how do you guys mange to do your daily stuff when your only car is in the workshop for like couple months.

I understand it is alright for people who has a secondary car, but for others -- Public transports?

man I am so hanging to get mine, should be one day next week hopefully.

I bought it from Japan on 28 August, it finally arrived in WA and I took delivery of it complied and registered at 5.14 pm on October 21 with a genuine 58221 kms, set of M's pods and a kakimoto N1 Premium cat back system on it. At 5.33 I dropped it off at x-speed and I have not had it back yet......

The mod list is extensive, they promised me 3 weeks and it will be returned.... stay tuned. Let's just say the guys were pretty excited with three boot loads of aftermarket goodies I dropped off for them to install.....

friggin hell i cannot wait

Ive waited 11 months! Still waiting.

Not the workshop though. I sent it to a specialist engine builder who dragged the chain ridiculously.

Cant complaint though, just meant I could pump more money into the rest of the car while I waited.

It will be back any day now and I chewing at the bit waiting!

      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.
