That that bloke who used to be on here and sings cheesy pop songs or something?

Yeah, apparently trying to sell to make more of them lol

Didn't he want like 18k last time it was for sale?

Yeah something like that, that car is worth about $5k tops in it's condition with everything on

That's why I always get stuff delivered to work, no chance of it being missed :P But then it sits on your desk and you have to resist the urge to play with it until the end of the day...

Got some 2nd hand injectors delivered once... still full of petrol... People in the office were like "Can you smell something?".... "Nope?"

DENY DENY DENY!

I sent some injectors and a fuel rail air freight, arrived at it's destination box completely soaked in fuel. oops. Surprised they delivered it.

Hub dynos are better as you eliminate variables in the tuning (tyre pressure & slip at the wheels) makes it possible to repeat runs and have results the same. Good for fine tuning as you don't have unknown variables messing with each run.

My Pulsar didn't have mega power (196fwkw) but I had a few instances where we all had to sit on the radiator support so it'd get traction on a roller dyno. Car used to lift the front end quite aggressively.

    • 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.
