thats the joke..

i found in in a stack of papers while cleaning my car and thought, OHH SWEET 150AWKW! was atttached to a sheet saying it was leaning out and shit

then hamish is like, thats 70kws dude..

70kw atw for a rb20det? wtf is wrong with it.

They make at least 130kw atw bog stock. An exhaust and intercooler gets you to about 160kw O_o

The dyno sheet says r32 GTS (minus the -t for turbo) and the graphs dont appear to look correct for a turbo car?

I don't know whether to keep my car at my grandparents place for the next few years until I get back to Aus and the turn it into a trackcar, or just sell it now.

What to do, what to do... Suggestions?

You're joking yeah? You're not actually considering that as an actual option are you?

It's a fuckin car, not your first-born. Letting it sit depreciating is a totally homo move.

Don't mean to offend you, but it's a 33 GTS-T, it's not something rare. Why the f**k would you even consider having ~$10k sitting there for a few years to one day, maybe, turn it into a track car when you come back...

But I'm sure you were just joking, because any half wit would understand that parking $10k in a garage for 3 years to maybe turn it into a track car is the most ludicrous thought one could have. That same half wit would know that $10k in your bank account when heading overseas is far more beneficial than a $10k garage ornament that will be worth $3k when you get back to turn it into a track car, losing ~$7k worth of potential track mods in the process.

Tough decision though..

It was leaning out and had a boost leak.

Gone now so meh.

    • 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.
