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.

I was gonna get a corolla or a cruize for 10k but this has got some power and it interesting and it's got 4 doors which makes it a sensible daily driver.

^ this was my actual logic for the evo.


Called Shannons to modify my policies...

Skyline went from Daily $13k / $1800 to Extreme Limited Use $13k / $1240.
Evo Daily $15k / $1200something as well

Urgh :( Was expecting the Skyline to drop under a grand considering its able to be driven only 2-3 times per month.

They also said I could rock up without an appointment to the Shannons center in Cheltenham and get one of their blokes to sight the car and the replacement value of all the mods... and a $23k agreed value ($10k more) would be about $35 extra per year.... uwot?

I was able to get my car in with shannons for 30k without them sighting it... I was curious to what i'd be able to wager if they saw the thing. Probably less.

Especially if they ask me to start it right now....

R34 ineligible for RACV classic. Too new.

Does feel kind of dirty seeing a R33 GTST eligible but a R34 not. :P

Yeah it sucks the Series 1 is eligible but the Series 2 isn't haha. I think next year it will be though?

Nothing stock looking about that engine bay either...

Pod filter coming out the side of the airbox which kind of defeats the point

GT40 low mount isn't exactly stealth material

Show the bay from the side and it's a different story

Good sleeper from the outside though, you would fool every seriously fast car on the street

      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

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
