No real progress was made over xmas unfortunately way too much beer consumed :/

What i did decide on recently was to upgrade from the M800 to the new M150.

Unfortunately we needed to change CDI modules as the M150 wouldn't talk to the Motec CDI8... Yes i know :angry2:

New bits arrived today. :cheers:

And the good news is the car was delivered back to my good mate / fabricators last night to continue on with last few bits of work left.

Updates over the next few weeks..

Great looking car and fantastic build - looks like you've thought of everything. Plans for anything other than the 1/4 mile?

I hope so although i always seem to find something new and improved id like to add haha thanks mate.

I really wanted to build this as a street going car but rules and regs and police just make it so hard now.

Apart from the 1/4mile stuff it's just a car to go out and have some fun in, events like roll racing and powercruise both of which don't require registration.. Powercruise u can take passenger so that should be fun haha.

What would've been cool are the Motive GTR drag battle and new 1/2mile but both require registered cars for insurance purposes unfortunately...

Struggling at the moment to find room for a large enough air filter. The car was built with the intensions of not running one but i chickened out and purchased a 7" round 16" long K&N but looks like it won't fit where i was hoping without some more mods moving stuff around and re-coating the intercooler :/

Yep been progressing slowly but surely.

Under dash harness re-pinned for the M150 and re-installed into the car. Lucky we did bulk head connectors on the firewall made removing the harness easy and saved engine harness removal.

    • 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.
