lol, yeah keep the cardigan well hidden mate.

for sure the F1 was just insane for it's time. hard to contemplate. I went in one at age 16 in sydney and it was pretty special. ingrained in my memory. I would consider murdering for a serious drive in one.

F1 Longtail, definitely in the big mac orange !

Baron: that flat nose porsche is f**king sexual in race trim.

Mmmmm Quattro !

There is just too much nice stuff to think about !

Speaking of ruining threads, have you finished 98 yet ?

I don't see why more people don't go the long tail.

It's like ordering a salad roll, when I get a burger I want my meat and two veg !

lol, yeah I'm up to 99 now. just watched the first half of round 8, silverstone last night. schuey had a big smash on lap 1 (at stowe I think?) and looks to have broken his legs. not nice. :(

Oh for the love of God, get that bucket of bolts out of here!

Bloody HQ with a body kit. Or is that vice-versa..... either way, not aspirational.

Haha, sorry to gate crash the party but i just have a soft spot for those damned things. :wub:

Come on, all flaws aside they are one mean muscle car.

F1 GTR would be my pick of the maccas lot; Is like the Quarter Pounder (All meat and Protein) to the Roady F1s Big Mac (not quite man enough, leaves you wanting more) and the McFeast of the Long Tail (too much and only shows its advantages for short times)

How about a Dauer 962

IMO I think its about time the japs entered the super car group as they have proven themselves a worthy contender for years.

So yeah discuss/share stories.

Datsun / Nissan were competing against the Porsche 904 since the 1960's with the S54 2000 GT-B.

The R32 GTR was deigned to target the Porsche 959 and Group A Racing.

Due to the 'Gentlemen's Agreement" it had restricted the out right power and Porsche still saw the upper hand from factory.

But still knowing the GTR had massive potential with aftermarket support.

Same with Porsche themselves.

R35 GTR is now "Super Car" territory and competes with the Porsche 911 GT2 / GT3 / Lamborghini Gallardo / Ferrari F430, just to name a few.

    • 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.
