I'm hoping to come along in my Evo 6, came and watched the last one at lakeside and it looked like heaps of fun...

Problem is my Evo is in pieces and I won't get to work on it until Saturday.. hopefully I can make it

well you are going to be busy then,i did some weight saving and removed my ac unit and pump last week,luckily i did cause i found that i had split hoses on my actuator and the bov.seems to be pulling a lot harder now,must of been causing false readings as now my boost is 2 pounds lower but goes better,got me stuffed,anyway good luck and hope to see you there,always enjoy running with you evo boys and girls.

well the evo is back together and holding boost as well as it was before (i.e. not very well at all), but it's good enough to drive and hopefully I'll be able to keep up with any NA cars :rolleyes:

thats the spirit,see you there.

Is this still on?
Tried to get out to fricking Willowbank tonight for test and tune, Cunningham Hwy was completely closed either side of champions way, with a sign detouring people right around, but no fricking sign telling people that test and tune had been cancelled.

Cunningham Highway, Willowbank
Crash Multi-vehicle Highway closed both directions at Champions Way. Heavy vehicles please seek alternative route Both Directions
Medium delays expected
Diversions are in place

It should be cleared by the morning, hope no one was hurt.

awesome happy laps,got to run longer than normal cause nothing on after us,had a blast and would like to thank mike again for organising another successful happy laps and all the evo boys for coming along,had about 40 odd cars and everyone was well behaved,poor old legnum blow a coolant hose behind me on the second to last lap and i had an eventful slide the lap after on all his collant,and some oil as well i think cause i was sideways trying to get around the last corner before front straight.Didnt go off and i have to admit it was rather fun,and scary all at the same time.Now just got to fix my ps leak,and start saving up for some goodies,will be a work in progress but will slowly get the old girl to where i want.Will post some pictures later once i down load them.

    • 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.
