My car is in at the panel shop getting the TWP scar removed (where the tow hook ripped through the front bar) - and yet I still have another shake down event before Targa in a couple of weeks. Part of me has always thought I am crazy doing it with still some pre-prep to go and Benny your story sure hasn't helped that feeling! LOL

Although my last remaining shake down is at Phillip Island and I always like to think that is a place where people try harder than ever to stay on the black stuff. It's not somewhere that rewards tom foolery with a laugh all that often!

Sorry to put you off you brekky Snowy :P

Been talking to Dan a bit lately, the boys pumped! Great to see! :woot:

I'd upload to incar I have of the guy who damaged my car for everyone to have a good old chuckle at, but I don't know how to shorten the clip to 10 minutes to upload it to Youtube?

And why isn't Steve Jones on here ffs? He has a GTR.... aren't we all meant to be buddies and pump eachother up a bit?

We got the rear muffler cut off yesterday to save weight (still got the middle one), and when we get the car back from the workshop i'll pulling the trim , and 4 lap sash belts out. Hoping it all should equil some kg's.

What a scary race track :( Bloody quick and you can't see any of the corners. Not much in the way of run off either. That Turn One is damn fast, taken flat in...4th??

Flat in 5th :) I'm grabbing 5th about what, 60m before the tower, and it's around 7,000rpm through the kink.... great corner :(

Are you kidding? it looks like a f**king cool track! now I know why everyone rates it!

Ahh the kink... Still have a bit of NS400R F2 seat material stuck in mt sphincter where I chased Scott Doohan for 5 laps on his 1000 yam round Lakeside years ago - Flat thru the kink in the wet.

Now why have pill shrank sooo much LOL.

Run off for cars!!! need the walls to bounce em back on the track.

Will have a look BW when I get into an Emirates longe and have some bandwidth.

See ya there

TT

At first I thought 5th as it looks f**king fast but wasn't sure. Dunno what the gears ratios on an R32 are but that must be close to 200k's? Balls of Steel. Should be an awesome car for Targa Tas.

Hmmm not sure either... speedo doesn't work. But around that I'd reckon.

Car should be ok I think, it's too stiff suspension wise, especially if it's wet, but my budget simply didn't/doesn't run to swapping it out for something more suitable atm.......

    • 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.
