1995 Silver Manual Coupe R33 GTST Series 2 Pushing 220 RWKW nice 18's on her and most importantly RWC. I think he might need to change that airbox for RWC. We'll see. He's an SAU member as well, saw this thread and contacted me. Not worried about the slight front bar damage for now, guy just had it resprayed before it got done in car park or some such.

Haha my knowledge is also not awesome but my understanding is that it's called a front strut brace and it is put there to stop flexing andprovide rigidity between the two suspension strut towers. This improves handling, reduces tire wear and reduces metal fatigue.

Basically the handling feels more precise and responsive.

Funny it's the fanciest looking thing on the car isn't it haha. Some people actually install them just for the tuner look.

right, thanks that makes sense and knowledge has increased +1!

that's awesome because I like the look of it (i love metallic blue) and also it actually serves a purpose! will look at getting one ahahhahah

a civic........HAHA.

shopping for a 34 though.

Yeah I noticed some of your posts, I was looking for an R34 but it wasn't worth the price difference IMO. I'll get an R34 when I can afford a GTR

I hope it doesnt have airbags after seeing the cooler piping :whistling:

Ok ok you got my attention, obviously as a series 2 you know it has dual airbags. Spill it, what do you know. WHAT DO YOU KNOW~!!!! lol

Cut hole in the battery tray is defective and being a model with airbags it can't be engineered I'm pretty sure. Uv bought it with rwc so just be careful not to get done :ninja: . Good luck, car looks alright though.

Wellll I haven't fully bought it yet. Have paid $500 deposit and signed a contract to buy it with a RWC. how can I get done for anything if it has RWC? or will RWC address this issue? Can't you get a flange to reinforce the hole and that makes it legal? If It has a RWC do you think I get to get it mechanically inspected pre purchase style?

It's tuned to 15PSI but no wideband should I get a wideband ASAP?

    • 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.
