Just letting anyone know with Fox 1 channel, that the 1st of 3 Drag Combat 2004 series will be on tv tomorrow night.

http://www.autosalon.org/dc-news.asp

"Finally we have the green light for the first of three one-hour programs on the 2004 BF Goodrich Drag Combat series. Make sure you’re sitting in front of your television on May 11 at 9.30pm Fox Sports 1. If you miss it, the program will be replayed on May 15 at 6.30am Fox Sports 2."

"The program will feature highlights from Sydney’s Rd 1 at Western Sydney International Dragway and coverage from Rd 2 at Willowbank the following weekend."

Don't worry if you missed it, it wasn't all that special.

Most of the focus was on the Pac Performance MX6. Admittingly it is a sexy beast running 7.1 (Aust record), I wanted to see more about expert class as this is the area which is closer to home.

The intro had a quick shot of GTR700 but that was really the only Skyline of note. There was another one (R33 GTS-T circuit car) from Qld built by Custom Carbon which ran a 12 sec pass. The winner of the expert class was a R31 sedan which ran a high number due to every other car dying on the line.

      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.
