You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Higher base cost for the car though.

Either way, different cars for different purposes.

I'm sure he didn't pay the current market value for the car when he bought it 7-8 years ago lol.

Probably not 50k but still expensive. Plus stock for stock.

Well, there's also a thing called technology.

Tis huge difference between a R33 and a taxi with bonnet bulge, a spoiler and some stickers.

You aren't seeing the point.

People were giving him shit about his tune costing 1400. When all it cost his was $1400.

Your tune may cost only $600, but does the tune alone get you to 370kw on a stock car? No.

Hence my point.

When you do all those mods to get it to 370kw is it legal? And was it free ? No

And if you then wanted to compare Leigh's car to the current g35 skyline being released which is roughly the same price if not more good luck getting it to 370rwkw with just a $600 tune

Aaron, again, it's all about technology, many of new cars can be flashed with stock ecu, and whereas majority of older cars can't.

Leigh, why did you have to get new ecu for the taxi?

Tony, already told Matt to call Jack.

this guy got my back!

basically I wanted a brand new, legal car with good power and decent handling for $55k nothing else came close - sure i've spent $5k on 'mods' but to me wheels / coilovers were gonna go on any car I got.

Didn't want fork out like $20k building up my 33GTR sure, would be quick but still a 90s car that i spent too much on imo

Yep, cos I can't work out why you'd say G35 in the equation when we were talking about ye olde r33...

BTW, Leigh knows I like to give him a shit about his 'fancy taxi'

Sorry not new ecu, just a flash tuner module.

Ah makes sense.

And nope back to square one, dads VZ has the basic low weight tow kit

if you find a tow car, i wouldnt go with BP trailer. You will need to remove frontbar to get on.

I recommend this;

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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
