What has happened???????

Please need the info????

Mike

The turbo's are off the car again, my less than a year old rebuilt turbo's are fcked. The shop who did them is accepting no responsibility and wholly believes the problem was caused by being overboosted! Even though I dont even have a boost controller! Had second inspection and symptons are similar to overboosting, BUT he KNOWS that steel wheeled GTR turbo's can handle 17-18psi easily :rofl: So, yeah dont know what to do just yet. Turbo's are in a million pieces and will be just over $2grand to repair them. I don't wanna spend the money but a set of HKS GTSS turbo's are not much over $3grand on greenline ;)

Jono

well this is no skyline..but thought it would be worth a mention!!!!!

Old VK Commodore...bit arse chormies....and wait for it

.................................wait a little longer

A HUUUUGGGEEEEE Veilside wing....

Well I saw the wing long before the car and thought it would be shaolin!!!!

oh god, I laughed so damn hard..

    • 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.
