Thats a good time for its first time out, and the MPH shows there is more in the car. But why would you run full drag slicks, and not warm them up? If they didnt think the driveline was up to the task, why put them on?

yer was a good night, lots of good form all round form the jap cars :D what i love to see, but maaaaan i cant wait to see endless unleash its fury on the strip LOL

hopefully my 'beast'*cough* not *cough* will be ready soon so i can have some fun doing shit times :D

mad a 12.05 in a 180!! nice one sam....

GTR34 thats an awesome time! did u run that time or ur dad? regardless its still mad....

ps. hurry up and send me the rest of those pics so i can finish ur background and stuff :D

mmm... *cough*gimme slicks too*cough* :P;)

Nice run sam, pity about all the hassles at calder huh?

and yep... i got a 12 !

12.98... just a 12, but still better than a 13.05 :)

and then i think i broke something on the next run bugger it. Oh well, the fun of racing

I though that endless car was quick... 121 mph is fairly ordinary for a car that's got as much power as that's supposed to have.

Should have cracked 130 easily...

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • 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.
