go on, let me in your 32.

last one i sat in still isnt running...

 

I lived with Richard for 18 months and never got to go for a ride :(

Haven't gone for a ride in his 32 either!

What did I do to my car today ? Ummm - picked up a parking fine.

Went for another spirited drive after work out through Tharwa and looks like I' need my clutch rebuilt/replaced now.

Living life a quarter of a mile at a time. Tis expensive lulz !! Launching can = lunched :P

having an awesome weak. Caught up in 3 queues due to accidents, 1 parking fine and now a lunched clutch.

Well I shouldn't really complain as the OS giken twin plate has been in since before I bought the GTR 10yrs ago.

You have to expect to go right through your drive train from engine to rear diff over time. Shift the power to find the next point of failure.

GB next ? yes it's likely.

Last night I took the gearbox off again and replaced the front cover allowing the thrust bearing to slide all the way back, so no more slipping clutch :D

Today I got a buff on the car and got my drivers seat back from my upholster. Wont be able to fit it today as I just got home from ED after slicing my leg with a box cutter :D

    • 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.
