Shut up Leigh, let's take this to the strip!

Or are you CHICKEN?

haha, was considering taking my car to DECA for some lols if I did not sure if I'd go stockies or NT05s! aka smoke or times

Take both?

I made it through 3 DECA's and a heathcote day on a set of NT05's so as long as you don't rip it on the basketball court you should be fine.

haha yeh if I do I'll just take 2 spare stockies to rip up at the end probably

kinda want to get a catback as well! but my brain is saying don't do it because of the cop harassment

how do i kill my auto? =x

neutral, rev to redline, slam it into drive

The guy is like 40+ and had it since brand new. Even though he only has one functional eye, he can drive. :P

LOL!

yea its shocking isnt it!

made a point of speaking to my non australian immigration officer (!) that i was guaranteed acceptance on a last remaining relative visa, and simply chose the partner visa because it was cheaper.

tis dog shite.

yeah it's farked

Although so far everything is going ok on our side, they took out the $5k or whatever it was from the account and haven't heard anything from them

Scotty, do you have any 33 ones laying around to suit a stock airbox? I'd love to test fit one to see if I can handle the intake noise increase, considering its my daily I don't want it too loud so don't want to buy one from you only to find that I won't be using it.

atm I've got the stock pipe with some of the flexy bit removed and some 3" zorst steel clamped in, think it could be my restriction...

start getting evidence toghether. they contacted us a year from taking the money. ask for all sorts of shit. then a year after that is when they process the permanent part. which is what they are doing now.

I had a 4" steel intake and you could hear it but the exhaust is louder anyway... Also with the HKS turbo the sound was fkn awesome

And just how visually obvious is it? There's currently only about 1cm of the 10cm of metal pipe visible... and only from a certain angle, and its in shadow.


Could I just paint it black and have it look almost compreetrey stock?

Stock BOV not blocked off.... currently "ssshhhhhh" or "peeewwwwwwwwwww" depending on the boost/gear

How much is one of these Great Scott intakes for a valued and handsome SAU VIC Member such as myself?

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