Located in Canberra here, but I found with the extra boost and a tune over the standard they came on about the same time just harder. Without knowing what you are doing with the car it's hard to say what they will do. Without any mods I would guess they would be laggy, with supporting mods as responsive as standard, with a stroker sky's the limit.

There are a few guys with them and the KEY is to get a tuner that knows how to bring them on early and get good results. I'm planning on a -5 upgrade sometime in the future just don't know when the funds will clear up to allow it.

Check in for the next Texi @ Quaker's hill in June and I'm sure there should be someone running a -5 set up. Paul's car (Piggaz) is a 2.8 stroker with -5 and the thing is a real beast (also on e85).

-5s on a 2.8 with e85 would be very diff to a 2.6 on 98.But yes looks like I'll come check out the texi.

i have -5 on a 26 with supporting mods , check my signature for mods and results , personally think a great set up not as laggy as people think , bit more that std

What manifold, dumps and intake set-up are you running? did you port/ceramic coat anything?

Your build list is pretty much indentical to mine but hadn't made the decision on -5 or -7's yet.

and yeah +1 for rpm dyno sheet.

    • 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.
