And haven't seen an 105E Anglia for years. I used to race against them with 289 V8's in them at Warwick Farm. Was this car V8 powered?

Hi Dennis,

No it's not a V8. Here's a better pic:

Don't have a scanner working at present, but maybe these pics will suffice.

My Car looks very differnt under the bonnet to the car in that pic. That engine bay shot, is of the 85-86 cars.

Even tho the program is from 1987, that doesn't mean the pic is. My air box, radiator and a heap of other stuff is different. My car also had more power for 1987, 276kw versus 246 in 1986. Mine does not have a rear stabiliser bar either.

Mine was the only one set up for radials, so maybe this is why the roll cage is so different, no strut brace, and no rear stabiliser.

My car had been rebuilt also before it was retired. Everything in it is new, including shocks, springs etc.

Where's the happy snaps then!! Would love to see that engine bay! What car was featured in zoom? Was that Gavin's?

I just watched the videos of it at phiilip island and it looks like a bit of a handful! Is that a bad ignition breakdown down the main straight?

No it's on the limiter with 411 gearset, needs 3.7's at Phillip Island.

No, that car is mine, when it belonged to Terry Ashwood, it was taken out of the restaurant for that feature.

Cazz,

Do you know what spring rates are in the back of your #30 car?

No idea Ghostrider, but it needs some better ones. When the car is on the air jacks and warming up, the movement in the rear is unreal.

    • 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.
