Well lads, I'm formally one of the fold again.

Thanks to our good friend GTR Ken I now have my own GTR sitting happily in the carport:D

Pitty about the bloody weather & these wet roads as I haven't had a chance to have a play yet:(

Look forward to seeing you guys on the street.

Cheers,

Micko.

He will to save the tyres for when I have a run in his GTR:)

Ken can you give me some instruction in the art of GTR?

Micko you didn't look THAT nervous.

I've gotta get me one of those GTR's....and some pain killers for the dodgy clutch foot

What !!, your asking ME. Don't forget I binned one:D

Seriously , you gotta put faith in the ATTESSA and if you have the power slide on in a corner, apply about 1/2 as much lock as you think is necessary and wait for the front torque to come in.Takes a bit of getting used to .

Thanks Ken first corner had a bit too much lock on but figured it must be as you mentioned.

It's an strange feeling sitting there with not as much to do just letting the car do the work.

I'm getting addicted to these bloody GTR's

They're an amazing car ....and good fun on a wet road.

The MC day should be great for you and Micko to test the limits safely.

Drive safe everyone I'm off to Phuket for a couple of weeks while the 34 gets a brain transplant courtesy of Dr Lumpy. Can't wait to see how it goes .

    • 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.
