Hi Guys and Girls,

My name is Vlad and I am from SA!! My previous cars were 96 180SX, 02STi, 07TypeR Civic and 06 EVO9, but out of all them I have missed my Nissan the most, not sure why :/ !! It could be due to the fact that all the work on it I did it my self as I was a uni student and on a tight budget then!!

Anyhow back to now, I have decided time has come to finnaly get my dream car an R32 GTR :wub: I have been in love with that shape and car for so long and why I never got one is a wild guess. :ermm: Since it has been my dream car this time I will take extra time to plan all the mods carefully so if I troll your build thread and ask dumb questions please bare with me.

Thank you all :action-smiley-069:

Welcome and thanks for your post. It was an interesting read. I can relate to the R32 GTR love affair myself and have felt that way ever since seeing them win at Bathurst. Such a great looking car in standard trim and the subtlest of mods make them look even better. Good luck with finding one you love!

Just like you said man there is something about them that I just can't get over!! Just for an added neard factor I also have my self a small limited edition model Bathurst R32 race car and from time to time I open the box drawl all over it and put it back in :-D Sad to say I already found a perfect car but my situation at the moment is a bit difficult so can't get it. Hopefully when I'm back in Australia it'll still be for sale, fingers crossed!!

      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.
