Racing in my first real grid race on saturday....bit nervous about it but looking forward to it!!

So excited for you mate, sadly i will not be able to make it as i have to work :P . It is a piss poor excuse i know but i will be out on the track with you soon i hope.

I am interested to see your thoughts on the shift light set up i am in the market for one.

Charles!

Hows it going mate?

So far so good!

I had Clappa fit it this arvo, he made it look very easy!!!

the default setting goes off at 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k - all the green lights

then 5k is organise, 6k orange and 7k is red.

I drove home from clappas and gave it a hit here and there, works well.

it also picks up theat if your crusing at a certain rpm (say 2.5k rpm) on the freeway for a couple of mins, it actually dims the lights.

So big ups to Clappa for helping me out once again!! infact, I think him and Ando have done the most work on my car haha

sorry to hear that :P things were going well. still I'd rather be building a 4 cylinder MX5 donk than a straight 6 RB... :D

hopefully it will be back together better than before. :laugh: any word on what made it die?

    • 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.
