i'd prefer u to gimme the r34 :)

i like the pale yellow better, i'm not really a fan of bright 'canarie' yellow cars...like the so many vl's, lancers, any other small car in compitition with the lancer.... though i wouldnt mind an r34 hehe

car is getting complianced in melbourne hopefully mr franks will have it in siddeley in 2 weeks or so... i think the pale looks much nicer, awesome in the sunlight stands out nicely and with that straight thru rear exhaust no muffler you can also hear it coming hehehhe

wow unanimous vote for the pale yellow i guess!!!

i actually preferred the brighter yellow!? i wanted to steer away from anything resembling the EVO 4 WRX yellow which i thought looked putrid!

richy, avatar is my nephew :)

doxx, i wish someone gave it to me too!

ex-static, what are you waiting for champ! :D

so i guess noone knows about the different colours???

might take it to SDU..

the reason why the exterior colour looks pale is because of the camera. white balance is terrible and this is often the case for yellow. the car has not been resprayed, the camera just portrays the yellow extremely badly.

the engine bay colour of any car will be different to the exterior. most manufacturers will apply just an undercoat to save money.

take a look at these next two pics of a yellow EVO 7 i shot the other day.

the white balance is terrible in the first shot which makes it look extremely pale. this can be attributed to the overexposure on the flash...

removing the flash, the second shot is marginally better on the rear quarter portion of the car, and gives you better indication of the true stunning yellow of it.....

    • 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.
