Damn that's a good time I'd be very happy with that.

I wish I could get my run in except they've cancelled for the last two weeks due to weather :(

Soon the AR-X's will own best times in 3 states.

1 may even have the Australian title! :P

Getting close Chris. STI needs more tune or goes home sad.

Nice one Chris, good launch. 1.8 60 foot is pretty good considering these cars weight. I've lined up against a STI too, took off like a jackrabbit, but by 1/2 track I over ran him. They seem to run

I can't wait to get the rs260 down the drags, sort the clutch out then before the mods will do a run to see what mph I'm getting at the end or the 1/4 for bench mark!

Hoping ill get it lower 60 foot than my VL! Don't think ill get it lower than what the VL has run! If I can get it as low as what rbnt got his rs260 up here 11.8 ill be very happy :) ps I wish the track was only 28 degrees most of the time it's in the 30's plus

Any ideas on what a completely stock 250t rx 4 would run?

Im heading to the Eastern creek drags on the 22nd if anyone else is keen.

Possibly keen. Just gotta see if my car is happy before then.

Would like to see where I'm at currently.

Had my first run ever at the drags last night.. Only got 4 runs in. The best I could muster was 13.4 pretty happy with that..

The car kept getting really cold as we were having over hour waits between runs..

Hopefully keep improving the car and the tune...

It's a lot easier to keep a car warm than to cool it down, mine was heat soaked and I could do nothing about it. Other guys were putting bags of ice on their coolers and engines to help combat the heat.

I should probably get up to Heathcote soon now it's winter and get a time on the current tune, I am only going down in power from here. (perhaps back to a highflow soon) I have had my fun...

I had two similar runs at 13.4 at 102-103 mph.

I'm amazed at how much the brake cut makes a difference I forgot to turn it on for the first two runs :( and got 14.5-14.2.

Yea totally agree Scotty but if the transmissions cold would that effect times etc as its not possible to warm it up without moving anywhere?

I'm sure there are many factors that could lower my time ;)

      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.
