see if i can get off my ass and get the car back together, tune and all that stuff i will be in :P

Ill take that as you wont be coming hahahaha

In regards to yellow stickers....in my experience it will be ok as these driver training days are self scrutineered. However, if one of the instructors/staff see something that is a safety issue (steel hanging out of tyres, excessive oil leaks, seat belt held together with zip ties/safety pins) then they will exclude you from going on the track. I dont believe they will give a shit that your car has adjustable suspension that may not meet ADR.

Having said this, this is not a guarantee.

Having got another play-thing while my engine is being re-built, I will give it a go.

It's a GTI-R!

Not sure how the trapped nerve in my neck will respond to wearing a helmet, but that's another story! (I have not been having a good time the last few months!!!)

Cheers. :P

GTi-R & the mx5 can go head to head, right Keith?

Sure, sounds like fun...just waiting for the new combo to arrive and Brad install a few bits. This thing is supposed to be my daily while I'm stuck in the office but I can see it becoming a bit more as things progress :)

Seriously, the gear knob came off in my hand last time I drove it and the steering wheel isn't even round lol

Sounds like we will be well matched - my gearknob is held on by blue electrical tape!!

Hmm ... .. .. .. must see if I can get a Nismo knob somewhere. That should add 30 hp by itself!

:)

I will be away until maybe Wednesday so wont be checking on the thread or replying to PM's until i get back so pleae dont think im ignoring you.

If you have an urgent question about entry/payments, talk to Dan.

Urgent questions about the rules etc for the track day, talk to Paul.

I'll ask her, but we can't both drive, as then no-one would be there to look after Marcus :cheers:

haha pretty sure there would be plenty of people to gush over him and etc

will try to make the treck for a catchup as cherrired is still in the shed due to shifter issues and time constraints

I'll ask her, but we can't both drive, as then no-one would be there to look after Marcus :P

Nah i've done it that many times now i've lost interest. I'll find something for me and him to do that day. >_<

    • 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.
