tristan still ran 25mm bolt ons with those rims :)

gotta love wide body

I actually had 27mm bolt on spacer to fit the rims on the front and they only just clear the coilovers :D 2.5 deg of camber helps them fit under the guard but no spacers on the rear.

Got the call today to say that Geoservices were pleased with my test results and said my interview was great!

I was offered a job on the spot and start as early as Monday :) sooooooo stoked and soooooo much more money then what I used to earn. Double infact!!

Gotta do helicopter under water escape training in Perth and a week of in house training before they send me off to a rig somewhere in the world!

After my first stint away, when I'm back I'll be looking for an EVO :D

I'm not too sure yet man. I've got my eye on a few cars but ideally it'll be something 'S' chassis so S13 or 180sx mainly because their is epic amount of parts available for these, cheap, and I love the styling of them. Smashed up pig S13/180 is hot lol aswell as a clean streeter with outrageous fitment.

Did it take you a couple of laps to get into the swing of things, like basically not sliding the first few laps?

Be good for the first timers if they let us just lap the track a couple times just to get the feel of the track

this is were i may have gone wrong lol

first time on the track, i went about 130kmh on the handbrake into turn 1 haha

i slowed it down abit till i got the hang of it. still havent tbh though. i want a missle spec 32 or a 180 now as a slide car.

    • 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.
