Expert opinion? Once you start ticking the options on those RCR kits, they get pretty f**king expensive. Add on drivetrain, shipping, local engineering..

Cost / expense and worth are 2 different things

he paid 190 for it. it is worth it once you drive it;)

the other one in adelaide cost a bit less than that as he built most of it himself (120K so far) compaired to this one that was fully built in the QLD factory.

woah def not worth that much for a kit car.

if you saw it in the flesh (or lucky enough to drive it, which i have at speed) it is worth it. the 7L engine was 35K alone from the US gearbox another 20K . the engineering is a work of art. it weighs just on 1000kg and has 'around' 500KW at the wheels:)

to those who may or may not know (and to those that don't care) i became a daddy for the first time on the 23/4 at 0052. we named our first child Jameson Seeley

Congratulations man. Now to start saving for a gokart lol

  • 2 weeks later...

Went out to watch the drift practice with Krishy tonight.... There was some big crashes and a rollover right in front of us... Thankfully no body hurt (well badly) from what I could tell... not a bad evening :)

    • 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.
