Well folks, the skyline has been sold. Was quite an emotional night for both me and my gril, as we both loved that car to bits. Was also a bit weird seeing some other dude, drive off with it, but it had come time to get rid of it. I will now be driving in a blue hyundai getz.....until I take delivery of my brand new HSV GTS :)

Dont quite know how to describe it, but selling the skyline was not like selling the other cars I had before. I guess, the skyline was my first proper car - so there was an attachment to it. But yeah, will be missing it like crazy I reckon.

Hopefully the new owner will take care of it, and give it a good home - I hope he does :)

Peace out

Geez emsta. Why a HSV GTS? Still have a slower car than me :P

Not about having a car that is faster or slower, want something different and something both Cath and I will like - we liked the skyline, but we want to have a "family" car with a bit of grunt in it. We both love HSV's, and so yeah, thats what we have decided to get next.

    • 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.
