parts mainly, specfically suspension parts that tend to flog out on our shitty roads, and stuff that breaks on 20 year old cars that needs to be procured from specialist wreckers.

Also finding a mechanic who wants to work on imports ($$$ or incompetence, your pick)

Trust me, I've owned both. Not comparing fuel usage as my R32 had a Microtech and bigger turbo, 'nuff said.

I doubt I'd get better fuel economy from an N/A skyline than my LS though (10l/100 or so mostly highway)

farrr less can go wrong in an n/a compared to a turbo. But yes if something does it isn't overly cheap. I did once make it from renmark (SA) to canberra on 1 tank however...

Most of the testosterone getting flung round is by you. You are the one getting super defensive and insisting we all know nothing unless we prove it. Hell you even made a thinly veiled threat of violence.

I don't need to prove myself to someone with a superiority complex, so you feel free to continue on thinking i am just talking out my arse. And yes i would glady say any of this to your face.

lol clearly just wanted your 2cents as i havent said sh*t in this thread cept for above....

just making your self look like a git

marc, i think you replied to the wrong person. Fryters, not Frosty

Im telling you guys, my dick is bigger!

This thread has lost all that could have been salvaged!

Why are natro kids always so defensive? Just like vtec plebs

Read the first few pages, you'll see that most of us were talking based on personal experience, no one was getting defensive. Fryters stated: n/a cars arent that bad, they are fun to drift. I stated, it was pretty quick in its time, up against other cars in the 1990s it did win a bit of races, todays standards are much higher etc etc.. It was from there all the others started challenging our word and having a go at us, saying things like "N/as have no respect", "who buys a n/a skyline", "rb25 n/a is terrible, if rb30s are slow rb25 must be", "why buy a n/a when you can buy a stroked rotary" etc. They laughed at whatever opinion we gave that was in favor of the n/a skyline. It felt like their goal was just to ridicule us cause they drive twin turbo gtrs, xr6ts etc... while we cruise in a n/a. Some people made valid points, others such as fryters was provoked.

The only slow thing is you, I have said like 10times now I don't care about power or speed, I wouldn't like na's if I did...

So you're not caring about power or speed right?

Because if you did, you wouldn't buy an N/A right?

Which is you saying, I bought an N/A knowing it had no power or capability for speed.

In essence, I bought an N/A knowing it was slow.

In other words, you just admitted that N/As are slow, yet you're arguing against this in a thread asking "Are N/As slow?"

Please note: Everyone has admitted you can drift them, you can drift many other extremely under powered cars too, yet you're still arguing for some unknown reason.

Am I arguing?

And the thread is are n/a's slow or is everyone talking out their ass. N/a's are slow, but all of you, talk out your asses about what their capabilities are, when you have never really driven one to their limits.

      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.
