Haha!

Well got my new rear discs in finally.

322mm 350Z rear brembo. DBA 4000 slotteds. The originals were 298mm, replaced with vsII, N1 rear calipers and 322mm rotors.

They fit fine, only .5mm offset difference from original vsII, N1 rear discs, all other dimensions the same.

Also made up some carbon rear diffuser fin extensions as the stockers were a little dog eared (and small).

All up cost under $170 for structural carbon fibre sheet, rivets, rivet gun etc.

Ran down WSID, and got a best of 11.678 @ 122.56MPH 60' 1.846.

Next best: 11.744 @ 124.26MPH 60'1.843.

Out of the 4 runs I bogged it twice, and the 2 good runs I got excessive wheelspin!

More practice at launching needed :D

Car weighed in at 1622KG 1/3 tank of fuel.

After the last run though something happened as idle now sits at 600RPM. Still drive smooth, just the idle is way too low.

Must of either got a leak under the plenum for idle air control, or AAC is kaput!

Update: Well looks like the idle screw managed to wind itself in and maybe a faulty AAC valve, I wound the idle screw out and go a steady idle and put some sealant on the screw so it doesn't move around.

Yeah, needs a final tune still :) Would be nice haha!!

Looking at the vids the engine/gbox shook a fair bit on takeoff so I'm thinking something came loose to cause the idle issue.

    • 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.
