anyone seen any cars for around 5k give or take a grand if you like, that would be a cool little boonga spec car for a new daily?

i had my heart set on another car but when i checked it out the second time, i noticed a few things i didnt like so im back on the hunt.

thought about building something cheap but i donno

Far out Luke!! Nice work. You doing that yourself? I wouldnt have a clue what to do after getting the valley covers off lol.

Yeah got Simon helping me out but it's getting there. Sending the head off to Rhemac tomorrow for a port/polish and getting them to drop the Poncams in while they are at it. Then I'll pick it up, get Simon to bolt the head back on with the new ARP head studs and head gasket, complete with the Tomei oil restrictor. Then it's up to me to bolt on the rest. Oh happy days!!!

Looking at the bores however, all seems well, no pitting on the pistons from detonation or the like so the bottom end seems in pretty good nick thankfully! Just need to get a retune after it's all back together, then back to the track!

Yeah, there are a few hoses I'm looking at that I'll replace while I'm there. The motor is in very good condition really, no pitting on the pistons, no scores in the bore and still has the cross hatching. Looks like it should be sweet for some time to come :blink:

I should hope so if your tuner did a good job lol

    • 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.
