There's a steep driveway at my Mum's place which would abrade low lips like nobody's business at the bottom concave section.

Then I installed a rubber speed hump set. It took half an hour to get the positioning just right & then the masonry bolts went in.

The lower lip only faintly brushes the rubber hump now :)

Did the dodgy and used a plank of wood and some bricks... looks so shabby

Will look @ investing in some of those rubber speed humps.... I have the same problem with the curve @ the top of the driveway.

Have to reverse up to get out too! Skidding all over the place with the semi slicks ....0.o

I made a custom lip that was 20mm shorter than standard. Extreme approach but I have the driveway from hell (but ain't moving cause cost us just about everything we owned to get into this place).

Oh and have the wood and bricks too to get out of the garage to the incline on the driveway (goes up then down onto the street).

Pick and shovel with hard work or a bobcat and cash.

I made a driveway, carport, and level paved area all by hand.

It helps to have construction experience so you get the drainage and retaining walls right.

Second hand pavers and my own ute made it cheap.

My back says i should have paid for a bobcat.

>_<

    • 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.
