I've found most 'JDM' owners go ford after getting over the jap cars

I was going to say PFFFFFT.. then realised I have a ford sitting in my carport >.<

but it's built by mazda, so it's ok :P

I'm not leaving Jap cars yet...

I just want to have 4 dr's for the baby and not have the NUMBER ONE defect magnet on the roads.

the EVO will probably be an 8MR with an exhaust and tune (~230awkw) so if i do get EPA'd it doesn't matter

fwiw, i've only been pulled over once since having the car for a "random check"

and the second time because the car was unregistered due to Vic roads not clearing the minor i got from that "Random check"

both occasions no fine or anything. the copper was polite enough to speak to vic roads on my behalf to yell at them and sort everything out so I could get to my Job interview for Merc. even offered to take me to the interview and back to my car if it couldnt be sorted today or in time.

he even looked under my bonnet and said its really nice and neat.

other than that popo dont really look at my car even if im next to them.

*Touch wood*

i would never have said that lol

    • 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.
