i would like to congratulate my mate pete for buying his first skyline... with a bit of convincing i converted him from a series 6 rx7 to a yellow r32 gtr with a trust kit....

you will see him on the forums soon....

number plates are "GTRRRR" you may have seen the guy driving it around... he said he is on these forums a bit so you may already know the car and him....

i drove to perth twice today once to look at it then he took our price so we went to the bank etc etc and went back up to perth to get it....

he now has a little godzilla in his carport....

goodluck pete hope everything goes smoothly....

ps. the car will have P plates on it untill november or some sht i think.... everyone will think he has a rich daddy....

Dude I test drove this car a month ago.

The gear box is screwed and apparently the engine leaks oil (though this could be a rumour)

But i can vouch for the gearbox.....its way too hard to get into gear (especialy 1st)

Might wanna get it checked, I dont mean to cause alarm, but thought I would let you know.

Car looks sweet though. How much he pay for 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.
