Think the hardest part was actually getting the harmonic balancer off. Both the pullers we have don't fit it and we had to create our own contraption. Did the job though

Yeah I am 100% getting one now.

Just got a little bit more to save and sell a few shares (After election date)

Then I will be talking to iron chef again.

Pretty sure I am going to go black as well.

Just really depends what comes up at the time

  • Like 1

you can always get one before raising all you money. Depending on who ur using. I paid Jspec 1000 to look for one and when they got it i just had to pay the price of the car which will be -$8000. Then the rest you have to pay the shipping when it arrives, then the rest after compliance.

Don't want a GTR.
Looked at the possibility of getting a 33 GTR for a few grand more.

But it will be older and it's more expensive if things break.

GTT is the way to go for something simple and nice to drive.

and because NEO

soon, very sooon

Edit: btw - GTT's are cheap as chips.

$2-3k will get you good reliable 300ish kws too

Already got my stuff I can transfer over ;)

Also 3-4 years ill be richer

So I will be fine with parts needing replacement more frequently. haha

This is true. Im glad that my engine work is 90% done.... I've already told myself im limited by the turbos. So if i want more i have to max them out properly. Next will be throwing in a Haltech and E85 Flex, New suspension, new wheels, and then all new interior.

But looking at the fact my wedding is looking at between 20 and 30k and ive just bought a house i don't think the GTR will be getting much more work for a little bit.

Solved the gas problem with a couple of air admittance valves (plumbing stuff)

Taped up all holes and gaps, even some expanding foam filler in there, to seal the cabin from the boot.

An aav where the window wiper motor was, sucks air from the cabin into the boot.

One in the boot sucking air out to under the guard

Now when i shut the boot it feels right, like a bit of air pressure.

Havent tried it on the road yet.

But it should work like it has all the original stuff still there. (plastic sheeting, rubber flaps etc)

    • 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.
