Hi guys,

Looking at swapping my 5.0L VT Calais.

-160,000kms

-White

-Tan interior

-Lowered on new KYB shocks and lowered springs

-Nolathane bushes

-Pacemaker extractors & full system

-20% tint (Very dark)

-LPG fitted about 6 months ago (with larger than standard converter = more performance and still under warranty)

-Extended platinum warranty (approx $1400 worth - 4.5 years remaining!!)

-Huge service just performed including: New water pump, every radiator / heater hose, heater tap, thermostat, thermostat housing, all fan / alt / AC belts, coolant, Oil, oil filter, air filter, leads, dissy cap, rotor button, platinum plugs etc etc etc. (Big dollars)

The car is pretty well immaculate, will not find a cleaner VT Calais 5.0L out there. - I know, as I looked around for months before i bought this one.

Dont be put off by it been V8 either - It cost approx $40 to fill (70L useable litres @ approx 55-58c P/L). It gets about 350kms round town, and about 450-480kms on the highway.

I dont have any pics at the moment, just google a white VT Calais, add dark tint and lower it. thats how it looks lol.

Looking for a fairly stock turbo manual skyline. (exhaust, front mount etc etc ok, but not interested in something that will never get off defect if it gets done)

Or a nice Stagea.

Hi, sorry I cant PM.

How much cash do you feel your car is worth?

I have a 1995 R33 manual with 126K on the clock.

mods include: FMIC, stainless steel turbo back exhaust, adjustable swaybars/caster, leather look interior, 17inch rays nismo LMGT1 wheels.

I may consider a trade with cash my way.

Cheers

    • 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.
