Blue 17k. Sounds like a steal. I know Spilmer was very particular dont know how its been treated since.

White one is at 25k. Will need to look at it in the flesh to make a decision but I know he spent more than that on it with the motor and other go fast bits.

+ it has most of the gear ready to swap out the 35r and put in a new precision or efr turbo

Seems like a lot.

yeah, go buy the white one! :P

In your opinion (or anyone elses), is a motor at that sort of age making that sort of power a ticking timebomb, or just something you'd want to do one day soonish? or am I misreading the ad and the engine itself is actually cactus already?

I wouldn't be confident in it lasting any significant amount of time, especially with the Power FC in control

I don't get the pfc hate? I mean they're an old design and don't have the features of newer designs, but is there something intrinsically wrong with them aswell?

There is something intrinsically wrong with the design of the RB engine, which is calculating crank position based on cam position, this leads to unstable timing signals. Having a power fc does not allow you to do away with the CAS and fix the issue.

Also it has no knock control, so combined with the timing jitter you engine doesn't stand much of a chance in the long term.

The hate is justified in this one.

Sean agrees with you, but also says the performance gap between a Motec and a Wolf/haltech/link/vipec is now next to nothing so the extra expense is no longer justified.

Currently googling new wheel combos for the 33. Dont know whether to stick with black rims or move onto white.. Also looking at some 16's i can fit bigger tyres on

drags?

15's will fit with some small caliper mods i heard?

When do we get promoted from car club friends to real friends?

I'm gonna say when you've achieved one of the following:

I've slept/passed out on your floor/with you on the floor lol

I've shirts off man hugged you

You've received >5 drunken phone calls from me

Probley other reasons but those spring to mind

not sure if i have done the over 5 phone calls.

      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.
