Many of you will remember this car in its past life, however, we are reinventing her... hopefully in time for WTAC 2016.

If you would like to see the development of the project as she grows, you can follow her build here

While most of you know her by her previous name, she will now be known as the Xtreme GTR [emoji2]

We should have a reunion bbq sometime soon too!

I hope so Rosie, I'm torn between style and performance on a few things eg not fond of the wing that looks like it's joined to the car by a shopping trolley lol but I will try to get the right compromise lol

Update: the new Facebook build page is now https://www.facebook.com/XtremeGTR 

The type I had created originally was not suited to what we wanted to do with the page. This car has certainly progressed, but being such a major rebuild means its taken some time. I have some fabulous content going up soon, including the cage going in and all the parts we've purchased. 

Website underway but due to some secret squirrel stuff, won't be fully live until the unveiling event at end of August. www.xtremegtr.com.au

    • 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
