Was a decent smash on Punt Rd/High St last night. Was lying in bed and heard a massive bang, so I got up, jumped in my car and went to investigate. Looked like a cab ran through a red pinning a Daewoo against the traffic light pole. I heard the accident from nearly 2 blocks away.

lulz, page 404 of thread

Short story, it's R32 GT-R.

Long story, too many things that decide to work whenever it likes.

how is it that I've owned two 32 GTR's and neither (including one that was makin 380awkw on a big single) never had as many issues as you're making out to have? are you just being a princess and havin a whinge or you havin legit problems? If you are then STFU, sell it and buy something that's not gonna give you issues. I hear Corollas are teh reliable.

also, angry birds on PC and on Mac App store. FFFUUUU... there is no escape!

I have both legit problems and me being a f**king girl.

I have access to a Corolla with new motor cos my dad is lazy f**ker for not maintaining it properly and destroyed old motor (it is 2004 model BTW).

haha did you go for a drive in al's?

nigel was the old co-owner of ice performance from about 5 years, he had a 32R with a big external setup and the firewall was on fire, from the dump pipe heat

nah... just know what i want and al's dyno seems to be the most appropriate for me:

i want max response, snappy on/off throttle, ~300 rwkw, lss stress on the motor and power everywhere, through to 7k

    • 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.
