Hey guys,

A mate and I are considering investing in a cheap, unregistered, dedicated track car, but can't seem to find them anywhere.

Is there a carsales for track cars or something, or are they just that rare?

Cheers.

hahah yep my105.com is car sales for race cars :P

that, or go to a local race meet. odds are 30% of the cars you will see are for sale.

finally...contact the club for whatever category of car you are after, eg IPRA.

many many race cars are for sale, just not actively so.

BTW I think a cheap club style race car is a great idea. so much cheaper than tracking your road car. main issue is you will need a tow car and trailer which can blow out the budget

nope, but it is another duncan from on here (LSX-428), in fact he just won the 2009 NSW supersprint champs yesterday. haven't seen the letter though guess I should browse at a newso lol

that, or go to a local race meet. odds are 30% of the cars you will see are for sale.

More like 95%. Just that the other 65% of owners don't realise it yet.

If it's anything like rallying, most of the cars never get advertised. There are plenty of gems "for sale" which never get advertised, and get sold through word of mouth, often for very cheap prices.

Again, can't speak for the track cars on MY105, but a lot of the rally cars I see advertised there are way over priced.

    • 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.
