Well its gone..

Another SAU skyline leaves the ranks for other pastures.

Its been a great 20 months but tonight I saw her pshtt one last time and drive away.. sounded soo good from outside the car too :D

Some strange co-incidence today too:

* It was within the same month exactly 10 years ago that my R33 rolled off the production line somewhere in Chiba, Japan.

* This morning it ticked over 100,000km for the first time (I took a photo while driving :D.. even got video of it..)

* It was my birthday 3 days ago.

The common questions, may as well answer them all in one place :D

- Yes, I pretty much got the price I wanted - was sold "as is" cancelled rego, no safety cert or anything as it was off to NSW to be registered. Saved me some hassles.

- Why'd i sell it? hmmm, tough one.. long stories, dramas and well R33 are an expensive base to start from. Nothing wrong with the car really at all just was getting a bit sick of it. It will be nice to have further options again.

- What is next? dunno.. have some ideas..but wait and see what comes up. No massive hurry yet. It will be fast.. damn fast.

so I wave goodbye.. and least have some final great photos to remember it by:

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! WHICH OLD WITCH? THE WICKED WITCH! DING DONG THE WICKED WITCH IS DEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAD!!

In all humor THE CURSE IS OFFICIALLY LIFTED AND BEEN PASSED ON WIT THE CAR TO THE NEW OWNER!

I now present to you GORDO THE UNCURSED!

Very nice car, but yeah if you do know the full story behind it you will realise that I am not being too harsh with the above statements!

Actually there is one more photo I would like to have seen, and that would have been a photo of Gordo's face when I got the courier to pretend that he had backed into Gordon's car just before the new owner came to pick it up

Priceless :D

muahahahhahaaa

(they don't call me Evil Homer for nothing)

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • 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
