yea was a fun weekend

cheers brad for the help, the alignment which felt shit on the road was farken awesome at the track

had to completely adjust my style of driving to get the best out of the car as there is now very limited understeer (in the rain it was understeer city though)

truly amazing that the car held together

couple of issues (the bad)

the accelerator pedal fell off(looks like i didnt tighten those bolts)

if revved over 6k the breather would oil up the rear turbo and go through the engine and out the exhaust(definatley needs a catch can)

car would only do 8 laps before fuel surge (ghetto mod to fuel pump got it across the line)

single peice tail shaft is not balanced i think which is quite annoying

fire extinguisher tried to escape a few times

once it rained the window fogged up like a bitch

the good

car went hard all weekend even though we could only rev her to 6k

stoptech brakes were awesome

driving standards were quite high

anyway a 1:10 on 3 year old ku36's and only reving to 6k and heavy traffic is fine

i think even with the shit tyres it would easily do a low 1:08 as i was not pushing it at all to get the low 1:10

anyway, its back to brad's for a surge tank, catch can, front lsd and hopefully back out for the circuit club day

i am still amazed that it made it and kept on trucking!

anyway enough bullshit here are some pics

I do remember telling you it would feel like busted arse on the road but would be nice on the circuit ;)

Good to hear straight off the trailer it handled well, got some idea bout setting up a skyline hey ;)

Haven't finished the setup yet, needs a little more work on the scales.

Can't help laugh at the throttle pedal that's truely a fatz only moment!

The fatz racer has shinny parts,

Dunno how long they will look like this for but meh.

Catch can has a low side that drains back to the sump.

There is also a custom catch can infront of the battery and a new design under car surge tank that ive been developing.

Ill put up some photos of it latter but it holds 4.5L and supports two 044 pumps or a single weldon pump. Has internal baffles and is also foam filled.

I make heaps of them.

I've got a few designs now depending on how much people want to spend.

I don't have any sitting around I haven't been bothered to make any for a while. Currently I'm just making them to order when needed.

    • 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.
