Tiny update. Finally getting off my arse and organising things. Motorkhana is next weekend so I'm pretty keen for that. I have also paid entry for the Wakefield matsuri weekend (3rd/4th May) so need to make sure everything is fine for that. If anyone is there and sees me come say hi :)

Bought a Buddyclub water temp sensor adaptor and fitted that the other night. Gotta run the cable for the sensors through the firewall but I plugged them in to make sure all work working.

Also started gathering my wheels for matsuri, pulled my stockies out of the garage they were in and borrowed some rims from a mate. Got a couple of spare tyres to chuck on and I'll be buying new tyres for the rest from my local guy.1623628_10153989372895274_40423448432547

Hey Timmy, if you ever get the chance, I'd be interested to know how the readings on those Defi's compare to the readings the ECU gets? I've got 3 different water temp sensors and 3 different boost gauges, and every single one of them tells me something different :laugh:

Haha no worries, once I've got it all hooked up properly I'll compare and let you know :)

So I was entered in the annual Toyota Nationals motorkhana yesterday that is in Dubbo. Gotta show them Toyota's up ;P

Will have more pics and vids later but here is one of my final runs. Spun out and just decided to give the spectators a nice display of smoke :)

    • 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.
