Hi All,

So yesterday, some guy came to me and took my car. He handed me a fistful of Kesh, and took my baby away.

After 7 years of ownership, better than $30k spent, several DECAs, track days, drag days, cruises, shes gone.

She went under the spray can twice, on the dyno maybe 15 times, shat a turbo once, destroyed 5 full sets of tyres, made lots of black lines at DECA and provided me with endless fun and games.

I will miss her sorely, I felt terrible when she drove away from me yesterday afternoon.

But Alas, such is life.

Post up photos of my baby and stories of her if you want. :P

It's a sad day in the life of Pete right now. Like Snowball said, I'm now just somebody who USED to be cool. :banana:

You suck Snowball!! :banana:

SAD BASS OUT

i'm actually feeling sad watching those pics :domokun: i too have been contemplating putting my T up... but just don't know if i have the stomach for it

although, i think i would feel better if it stayed on the forum or went to someone who was a real enthusiast.

Are they an SAU'er Pete? seem like an enthusiast?

Pete, I feel your pain!

Sold mine a while ago and still missing it.

Have not spent 10 minutes in the garage since.

Though I do still have the neglected Starion to start all over on again.....

Booo, no good Pete. I'm not sure how long I've got left either....apparently 7 years of owing an R34 and being "childish" is enough for the wife, I've been told I have to get a responsible looking German car next and stop pretending I'm still 21 :banana:

Unfortunately for her, any German car with grunt is gonna put a dent in the funds :domokun:

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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
